The Ministry in Tereblecia

The Lord helped me to visit this village and church ten times. We had several church services and evangelizations over the winter holidays. Along with some guests from Romania and Russia we organized three massive evangelizations in the church. We invited many non-believers and around six of them came to each evangelization and they heard the Gospel. A choir of forty people from Romania visited us. After the religious service we went to see the mayor, the school's principal, the doctors and even the priest's daughter. Praise the Lord for such beautiful ministry.

They all welcomed us and were impressed by the choir. They taped the songs and thanked us. We will continue to pray for them that the Lord will give them salvation. Along with the choir we visited twenty families.

Afterwards a team made of men and a lady from Russia visited us. They were ex-convicts and drug addicts, but the Lord changed their lives. Now they are missionaries in the prisons of Russia and rehabilitation centers. We invited all the churches from Gliboca region. We had a three and half hours of service, listening to their wonderful testimonies. The Lord has changed their lives completely and now they go through all the prisons in Russia and share the Lord. They came to the Ukraine and visited a prison, rehabilitation centers and churches. It was a wonderful gathering, seeing and hearing how the Lord performed miracles. Praise the Lord for His wonderful ministry. The churches were encouraged to pray for those that the world thinks little of. The Lord came to save that which was lost. They wanted to visit Romania so I helped them by planning a visiting project. If I don't find a translator for them I will go myself for ten days.

Along with the church we did four Bible studies from Galatians chapters 1-3. We learned a wonderful thing about righteousness. God gives us righteousness by faith alone, without any efforts or good deeds from us. Praise the Lord for this wonderful gift of righteousness. Besides the Bible studies I preached four sermons on Christ's birth. As usual, after the services, I visited six families and prayed with them, shared the Word and answered their questions. I evangelized four persons and prayed for their salvation. With the Lord's help I counselled eleven people and prayed with them.

We had to repair the heating system for a few days because it was really cold inside the church. We have not finish yet. I am grateful for such a wonderful and blessed month. This was my involvement in this village this past month.

The Ministry in Cernauti

As usual I had several meetings with the pastors and missionaries for prayer and planning the ministry in the winter. I visited Bahranesti and preached at a funeral. An old lady went to the Lord. There were many nonbelievers who heard the Gospel. Praise the Lord. I had several meetings with different missionaries, preachers, pastors for sharing the Word, praying and solving different problems.
