This month I had many blessings. One of them was the visit of some people from Timisoara. On this occasion we had an evangelistic outreach and invited all the friends of the church. The group of young people from the churches from Timisoara had a Christian music concert.  They came with Dan M., the pastor of "Emanuel" Church from Timisoara. I was invited by Daniel B. to preach in the church of Resita. That Sunday our church ministered in the Church of  Belgrade. I also had a meeting with Daniel B. and we discussed the ministry in Serbia and how the church from Resita could help us. Daniel will visit us and a group of believers from our church will visit the church in Resita when we have the baptismal service. We are waiting for a youth group led by Dan D. who will praise God through word and songs.

With the help of the Lord we continued the Bible School. There were 30 students from all over the country who attended. Because of the difficult economic situation we discussed whether we should continue the classes. This troubled me. However, through God's grace, the courses didn't stop. I believe that the Bible School is very important not just for the teaching, but for the fellowship too. The Christian ministers who feel abandoned are encouraged through these meetings. Please pray that the courses will not discontinue.

One of the students, Rajac B., who attends the Bible school classes is the deacon in our church. He shows great earnestness not just in the attendance of the classes but in all the other activities of the church. He works all week and he doesn't have time to help me. I struggled with the need of a mission partner for years. I believe the need for a mission partner is bigger in Serbia now because my wife is going to deliver our child in August and she can't help me anymore. More churches from Romania are getting involved in the ministry from Serbia and I am often called as a mediator between Romanians and Serbians. I am invited to the periodical meetings between pastors where they analyze and coordinate projects. Bane is a faithful and reliable man and I would like to help him become a servant of God. It would have been helpful for him to accompany me to these meetings both in Romania and Serbia. He would have achieved a practical experience of the ministry. But his job hinders him.  Also please pray with me for his growth in faith.

My main objective of my ministry in the local church is personal evangelism. I planned to visit and contact the people that I haven't share the gospel with yet. This month my wife and I visited one of the neighboring families. I realized that working with the neighbors was the most difficult ministry because other neighbors warned everybody about us. They said that a new cult came into their neighborhood. Therefore they were suspicious and didn't allow their children to come near the church. In spite of the false accusations we managed to make friends with them and to show them that we were ordinary people. We are waiting and praying to see them come to church.

A great matter of need in our church is Ilie who hasn't attended in six months. He returned to the sins of his former life. We will exclude him from the church if he doesn't come to the church before Easter. We pray for his repentance.

A friend of the church in Svetlana, who attended the church for six months wants to be baptized. She suffers from multiple tumors. We pray for her physical and spiritual health.
