I am glad to write about the events that we planned in February and fulfilled in March. The first event was on March 8th (Woman's International Day). We invited our acquaintances who didn't know the Lord. We rejoiced over the 10 people who came. It was a successful event. The Word of God was proclaimed through the sermon and through several songs. We invited them to our homes in the following weeks. We continue to discuss God with them. On this occasion the Word of God was sowed in their hearts.

In the street evangelism project we shared the Gospel with young people too. We met Bogdan, a young boy who was around 14 years old. We shared the Gospel with him and he wanted to turn to the Lord. He started to come to church and we also had a few meetings with him. Marian B. goes through a Bible study ("Who is God?" by Paul W.) with him. We pray for him to be faithful to the Lord, to overcome the temptations and to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus. We rejoiced over the fact that Bogdan invited his friends to the church. So far he invited three people. One of his acquaintances said that she wanted to attend our church. She asked, "What do I have to do to attend your church?" That question meant a lot to us. We pray that the youth ministry will develop.

This month we continued the evangelism project. We went on the streets two days a week. Every week along with Marian we did evangelism in Fieni. The Lord was good to us as we met several persons. I would like to tell you about the meeting with a young man who lives in Costesti village. We met Cristi on the streets in Costesti. We gave him a New Testament. We discussed salvation with him. He was open and he asked a lot of questions. He had a mild temper and he asked us, "Why do I have to suffer so much?". I told him that the suffering was not a punishment, but a tool that the Lord was using to lead people to salvation. He had given us his phone number and a few days later I called him and I paid him a visit. I continued to teach him about the Lord and answer all his questions. He came to church the next Sunday. I hope the Lord will have mercy on him and save him.

An important fact is that a lady started to attend the church in Fieni. Her name is Carmen R. and she is a Christian. She is a teacher in the school in Moroieni village. Another lady from our church is an English teacher there. The Lord worked so that they met and Carmen found out about our church. She was baptized in a church from another county. She couldn't attend that church due to the long distance. We hope that Carmen will be used by the Lord for the opening of a mission point in Moroieni. A wonderful thing happened in her family. Her girl suffered from depression. The entire church prayed and fasted for her. The Lord worked and this girl started to heal. May the Lord confirm the preaching of the Gospel through His miraculous work.

In March I also went to a meeting with the Gipsy missionaries in Bucharest. We mainly discussed the better planning of our time and ministry for the Lord. From the beginning of the year we planned to work systematically. We started to use workbooks and to plan deliberate evangelistic outreach. We noticed that most of the missionaries were preaching the Gospel only
occasionally. We wanted to change that. Therefore every missionary will have certain hours for evangelism. They will take their Bible and other materials and will go out to talk to the people. Some of the Gypsy missionaries appreciated this. They said they rested and worked more.
