I am honored to be able to share with you again about the missionary work in Cernauti. I can gladly say that the ministry in Pasat is going well as they are having a good spiritual growth. We are happy to see how God works in the maturity of this church. They are now able to live up to their faith before the people they get in contact with.

I want to mention that from the very beginning of my service here, I emphasized the importance of prayer and studying the Bible. I also motivated them to be active in the ministry. I asked one of the gentlemen to visit other churches and share his personal testimony by telling them how God worked in his life and in the life of his family. After a long time, we can see them being active in the ministry and also having Christian attitudes and behaviors. Praise the Lord !

Generally speaking, the work hasn't been easy in Pasat but God has given us joy.

Starting this month there will be two major changes in our ministry. One is that we have totally taken over the ministry in Grusevca. The church here got to know me better and we decided to work together. I insisted on prayer and Bible study here as well. There were times when we had the Bible study with families so that I can spend more time with them. The situation of the church from Grusevca is not that good. Therefore, we need a special intervention from God in order to save the ministry here and be able to glorify God by what we do. I believe that the light here should always stay on.

Misa and I do everything we can to take the Word to this village. We want this church to bring glory to our God.

The second change is related to another village, Molodia. It is about 40 km from Grusevca. A Baptist church was planted there some years ago where Vasile P. was the pastor. He was designated the pastor for the Romanian churches in the Ukraine, but he resigned. The members from Molodia moved to Grusevca. This situation took me by surprise as I had to admit it is a little difficult to cope.
The members from Molodia come to the church in Grusevca and worship with the congregation.
Since all these things are recent, we haven't managed to make plan for Molodia.  I think God will bless us and give us the right vision.

Please pray for me and my family to be strong and work according to His will.
