Last month was quite busy.  Apart from the usual ministry work I traveled with Mark to Alba to take part in the Christian counseling course in the church of Cetatea. This course is led by a married couple from America. The course was well attended and lasted from Monday to Friday. It was both intensive and informative. Being in Alba also gave me a chance to see fellow brothers and sisters in Christ from my home town church and also to see family members who still live in Alba.

At the beginning of the month I have traveled to Timisoara to pick up Mark at the airport, however due to bad weather in England his flight was delayed and he had to come to Romania few days later via Bucuresti. While in Timisoara I was invited by an old friend to come and give my testimony at the local Christian radio station. The recording lasted a couple of hours and is due to be aired in two parts. I was told by the interviewer that she was happy to hear my testimony.

Also during the month I have traveled with Mark to Slatina city to complete part of my exams. I was very happy to pass. I know that God helped me very much and He gave me the focus I needed. My finals will be completed, God willing, in the summer and I will earn a diploma in economics.

An amazing thing happened as I went to visit a very poor widow woman for the second time with some food.  I went to encourage her by offering an ear to listen to her troubled heart. Sadly, she was not at home when I called, so I went to see another poor women who I have Bible studies with. Her husband has no work at the moment and they have three hungry children to feed. Her name is Mariana. God works in wonderful ways and He knew that Mariana's family was in greater need that day of food and God's love. I decided to give her the food I had originally intended for my first visit. She began to cry with joy because God is good and really does care especially for those who love Him. Please pray for this family and their daily needs.
