THE  MINISTRY  IN  TEREBLECIA

Praised be the Lord as I visited the village nine times where I preached and led the Bible study. We studied the first two chapters of Titus. On the occasion of the Easter holiday we had several church services. Two of them were evangelistic ones. We handed out 50 invitations in the first evangelistic service. As guests, we had a music group from Chisinau, Moldova. While we had people coming from other villages also, we only had three unbelievers.

The second evangelistic service was on the occasion of the Resurrection. We had seven unbelievers from the village who came to church. We thank the Lord that they came and heard the gospel and we pray that they'll know the Lord.

As usual I offered counseling to people after the church services. I spoke with 15 people. I visited six families and offered them the Lord's supper. I got to meet unbelievers and told them about salvation through Jesus Christ. They listened and some of them even asked questions which I answered based on the Bible. We pray that God will give them salvation.

All the church members including the children took a test from I Timothy and answered all 48 questions. We will also take another test from 2 Timothy.

THE  MINISTRY  IN  CERNAUTI

This month has been busy in the ministry. We had several evangelistic services and a music group from Moldova. We visited several villages. I was also invited by brother Vitalie R. to preach there. I preached both in Patrauti de Jos and Patrauti de Sus. At the end of the services, I invited people to give their lives to Christ and a young lady responded. Praise the Lord!

I visited Bahranesti on four occasions and preached there. After the services I talked to six people  from the church and visited two families.  I also talked to the neighbor of the church there and I urged him to reconcile with God. He did not really like what he heard. We pray that God will continue to touch his heart.

The pastor that used to work in Bahranesti followed God's call to move to Transcarpatia, Poroscovo. A Romanian community lives in this place forgotten by everyone. There is a church and an apartment built by the Nehemiah mission. The pastor's family left at the beginning of this month so I had to take over Bahranesti again. I have to work even more now so I pray that God will strengthen me.

I got together with the missionaries and we studied the Bible, prayed and planned the events for the coming month.

I visited two villages, Tarasauti and Vancauti. I got together with the a few missionaries and
pastors and we prayed and talked about the ministry there.

I will leave for Transcarpatia tomorrow to attend the dedication service of the church from
Poroscovo. I will also spend some time with the family that moved out there. Pray that God will
bless our time there.

 

I thank the Lord for your care for our country and support. God bless you.
