The Lord helped me this month in my spending time mostly with new converts. We made up fellowship groups in their homes. This fellowship time helps them to grow spiritually. They are offered the opportunity to ask questions in order to have a better understanding of the topics approached in the sermons.

We started a mission in Frumusani, a village 25km from us. We get together at Ionela's, the lady whose life has been miraculously transformed by God. We usually have three families come to hear the Word. We started this ministry by faith. We asked God to give us guidance and understood that it was His will to be involved in the lives of the people there. God also touched the heart of a 28 year old young man from Frumusani whose name is Stelian. The Word of God convicted him and made him realize he was a sinner. Stelian received Christ as his Savior. We prayed together and I asked God to protect him. Please pray for these families from Frumusani, especially for this young man.

We started a Bible study with the people who wanted to get baptized. Hopefully, we'll have a baptism service in our church in June. Pray for these people to have grace and wisdom and continue their walk with God. We had quite a wonderful experience with a poor family. We told them about Jesus Christ, that He could bring comfort and above all, salvation and freedom. While I was talking, one lady started to cry. She said she had two children who were addicted to drugs. I prayed for her and she asked me to pray for her children too. I asked for God's protection upon them. One of her two sons was pretty convicted in his heart and started to weep, realizing the presence of God.
Please pray for this Gypsy community in Macedonia, especially for the people we shared with.

Several Gypsy missionaries and I went on a mission trip to Macedonia in mid May. We spent one week there. We were blessed to share the gospel with a lot of Muslim Gypsies.  We've been to three major cities in Macedonia, Skopje, Sutka ad Bitula (it neighbors Greece). We found the largest Gypsy community in Sutka which was around 50,000 people who were mostly involved in business. We shared the gospel with them on the streets and in the markets. We also had public preaching ministry where many of them would come to listen. We would sing and then share the Word with them. We did all these things for a week. We usually had three teams that handed out Christian CDs and prayed for them.
