The Lord gave us grace to begin this new yearl. I want to serve the Lord with all my heart this year.

I spent the first part of this month planning the activities for the year. We started Bible study groups in homes as we want to do that during winter time. We have two groups so far in which both believers and unbelievers attend.  We will start the third group during the first week of February. We've  already had a few encouraging experiences. The believers are strengthened and encouraged and the unbelievers are touched in their hearts. They started to share some of these things with their friends. We pray that God will enlighten their minds and save their souls.
I continued the Bible study with the people that wanted to get baptized. There are three people who desire to baptized in March.

I visited several people with whom I shared the Word. I was happy to see some of them listening carefully to it, but was sometimes disappointed by others. I made appointments several times but people never showed up. The feeling of disappointment can be overwhelming and I experienced that several times this month. I pray that God will strengthen me so that I won't be discouraged.

Once the weather warms up a little we'll start doing other activities. That means having outreaches both in Fieni and other places where there are HeartCry missionaries. We've already prepared supplies for two evangelistic crusades, one will be with a Romanian missionary and the other with a Gypsy missionary.
