I pray that the words I write will glorify the glorious Name of Jesus. I thank God for this wonderful opportunity to share the things that make us useful for His kingdom.

The vacation has been a good time for us. We visited several churches with whom we had wonderful fellowship. I got to meet people that taught me new lessons through which God worked in my heart. While visiting these seven churches, I did my best to present the real needs of the ministry in Cernauti and the vision of church planting. I was surprised to see that there were places in Romania that needed so much missionary work. My second surprise was finding out that the churches I visited didn't have a missionary vision. They had no mission plans including two of the big churches that have around 1400 members. I felt sad about that. That was the least pleasant part of our vacation.

We got back to Cernauti two weeks ago. I've already visited some of the people, especially from
Pasat. There is a gentleman whose name is brother Vanea who is going through a hard time. It   
is in his house where we meet for the services. I asked you to pray for him on several occasions.   
He was baptized two years ago. Last year in the winter he had some problems, but he's been      
good this year until now. He had surgery for colon cancer two weeks ago and has been through
many trials since he became a Christian. Presently, he doesn't know he's got cancer. We pray that God
will heal him. but may His will be done! Please continue to pray for him and for the church in Pasat. His surgery was very expensive and neither his family nor our church had the money but we managed to receive it because of the generosity of several small churches who were willing to give as much as they could.

I have only visited the church members in Pasat.

We had a fueral service in Tereblecia when brother Ion G. came and preached.

I managed to visit two of my former neighbors in Tereblecia. I used to live there. We had a good  
time of talking and they were happy to see me.
