Each thing has its own time appointed by God and it is our responsibility to find out His will. There were many things that I wanted to do as the pastor, but it was only me who had this vision at the beginning. Later on, a few other people had the vision. We all came to the conclusion that we should work together as a team. We did have the opportunity to do some things together, but we had crisis times as well.

At the end of last year we came to this conclusion that we had to work together. After several years God made us understand that we had to have a common vision on how to live, to fight and to sow the seed efficiently and according to God's will. I told you in my previous report about a prayer and fasting program for our church. We managed to do that every Wednesday. It is good because it brings us together and sets us free from all hind-rances in the way of revival. I had the opportunity to spend more time with the church members. I realized that when God was at work, everything was possible. Even the people who used to be against us started to change and now want to support and help the ministry. They were the ones who tried to convince me of things that I did not agree with years before. It is a little troubling humanly speaking, but as a Christian, I have to be happy to see that happening among us. And results started to show up. Little by little, people around us, neighbors, colleagues, relatives, family, started to come to church.

It is also a miracle that if someone has failures, he does not blame anyone but himself. They came to a biblical understanding of things. That gives me hope and spiritual strength. I need time so that I can visit each family and church member "to equip his people for works of service". I used to be like a "fireman" among them to put out the "fires" they set themselves, but now they can be my coworkers.

I had a meeting with some HeartCry missionaries. We studied the Bible together and talked about the book Joy Unspeakable. I am glad we all had a good time without strong debates.

We had a conference for the pastors in our area. It was meant to teach us good working strategies. We also had a meeting  with the church committees from Cernauti (11churches). We talked about common strategy and practice. We also talked about common projects to reach people and bring glory to God.

I went to the Romanian church from Kamenka on two occasions. I also visited an Ukrainian village. I interpreted for a Romanian preacher. They were having a jubilee service.

I participated in a special service of several churches called The Festival of Christian Song. It is not me who worked so much for the Lord this month, but the Lord Who worked for us. There is a time for everything .... please pray the spiritual growth of our church, my family and me. Thank you.
