Thank you for your prayers for Daniela! She came back to school after a week holiday. I invited her to dinner at our home and where we got to know her and her family better. Daniela is a good-natured, approachable girl, but also stable and smart! As I had mentioned I challenged her to a bible study and she agreed! Praise the Lord! I gave her a New Testament and she was very grateful. Please pray that the Lord will work in her heart and she will want to increase in the knowledge of Him!

Mira is a fourth year dental student. She and her family are Christians. She comes to our group meetings where she shows a great love and heart for the Lord. I challenged her to a bible study and she agreed. I also urged her to pray that the Lord will use her in the life of a non-Christian girl! She was open! She already has challenged two non-Christian girls to have a bible study.
Although her college is difficult and her time limited, she desires to serve the Lord! Please pray that the Lord will help me to work wisely and efficiently with Mira and the other girls!

In February we celebrated the birthday of a few students. Catalina and Alina (Mira's schoolmates), two non-Christian students, attended too. It was Catalina's birthday! We prepared food and cookies. After our meeting of prayer we decided to pray for Catalina.  After a few days Mira told us that Catalina cried after the meeting. She said that nobody prayed for her ever and that she never saw someone who loved people and strangers as we did! We saw how God showed His glory through our students who were a testimony among their friends and schoolmates! I gave her a Bible because she asked for one and she was so happy! She even started to attend church! Please pray that the Lord will increase her hunger and searching for Him and we will be an anchor for her!

Alina, the other girl, asked for a Bible too, when she saw me giving one to Catalina. She also said that she wanted to study the Bible! Please pray that the Lord will work into heart also!

Two other non-Christian girls (who live next door to our students) asked our girls, "What do you do in your room when you meet? Why are there so many?" Our girls answered, "We pray!". The two girls were so amazed. They said they wanted to come to our prayer meetings too! Please pray that the Lord will touch the hearts of the two girls! We do not even know their name yet.

God shows His glory through our students. They meet every evening at 10 o'clock for an hour of prayer. They also meet in the morning from 7 till 7:30 and then they go to school. God is working in their hearts and they want to know Him and to do His will!

Also they decided to go to hospital for telling the patients about God! Our son Flavius, who

loves to spend time with the students, went with Bogdan's group (Bogdan is my disciple)! He was especially impressed by a lady, Mariana, who was so happy to hear the Gospel!!! Flavius told us that crying and shivering she asked the Lord Jesus into her life. She also said that she wanted to follow Him her entire life. Flavius told us that the patients generally welcomed them. Only one old man told them, "We do not need Bibles when we are sick! I do not want to convert!" They tried to tell him that they spoke about Lord Jesus not a religion. But his heart was hardened! It was a special experience for Flavius and the entire group. Please pray for Mariana. Pray that the Lord will increase the seed in her heart!

Through the Lord's grace and with the help of our colleagues, who work with the movie "Jesus' Life", we believe God is going to use this movie in each ministry of Campus Crusade and other churches too. So many women (and men too) from Romania will have the opportunity to hear the Gospel! Please pray for this new movie to be used by many churches and to bring fruit in Timisoara and all over the country.

Prayer requests: The 2nd semester started last week and we were glad to be again among the students. Please pray with us:

- for placing dependence in Him for all our activities; - for our disciples to bring fruit in Christ;
- for new voluntaries;
- the Lord will search the hearts of the students who heard the Gospel;
- for the students conference on May 15th-16th; there will be speakers from HeartCry Missionary Society;
- for the summer projects from Craiova and Constanta.
