Through God's grace this month I was in an evangelistic crusade in a Gypsy community in Bulgaria. There I ministered in a community where people were very poor. I had the grace to proclaim the Gospel. I went in four big villages where many Gypsy lived. Those Gypsies have had a rough time. Most of the families had many children.  The standard of living was low. One evening we were invited to an evangelistic event. Many people came to listen to us when they found out that we were Romanians. I rejoiced over the fact that over 700 people came, Christians and non-Christians. Many people came in front and we prayed for them. Honest souls came in front and cried. They were searched by the Holy Spirit. Another day we went in a village, 150 kilometers far from Sofia city. It was a very poor community. They were making their living only through what they found in the woods. When I visited that community I felt like I was in the wildness. They were living unhealthy.. Their pastor was a great-hearted man.

We distributed clothes and food and shared the Gospel with them. There were people who came in front and we prayed for them to be touched by God. Many of them were sick and their children suffered from many diseases. They brought many children who were invalid or blind to pray for them. It was a blessed week with many experiences. I saw God's hand at work. Please pray for these communities of Gypsies from Bulgaria.

This month we started a special prayer program in our church every Friday evening. Seeing that we were facing many problems in our families we decided to bring them before God. All the church agreed. For 2 hours we prayed for all the problems. We met Friday evening from 5 and half till 7 o'clock. This month we had the dedication of a child, Florin D. His mother is a believer. On this occasion we had many guests. Many friends of his father who was a nonbeliever wanted to see how we dedicated our children to the Lord. I proclaimed the Gospel. I also spoke about the way we should raise our children according to the Word of God. I said as parents we had a great responsibility to teach them how to serve the Lord. Please pray for all those that attended this event.
