I am happy and blessed that we had grace from the Lord in the ministry in Patrauti de Sus this month. I want to share with you my spiritual and physical work in this village.

Every Sunday I preach evangelistic messages from the four Gospels. I present the life and ministry of Christ and the purpose of His coming into the world. I visit non-Christian families on Fridays. In the evening we gather at church and read the Bible according to a program. This month we read 1 Corinthians. Even the non-Christians read the Bible. Then we have 40 minutes of questions and answers. This time was very beneficial as I saw the level of interest increase in those who listened. That helped me prepare my messages. Also the time was useful for those who had questions. I also prepared the singing in our gatherings. I used to give books with songs to the non-believers and I urged them to sing along with us.

As I wrote on January's report I try to bring groups of young people to sing in our church. This is an encouragement to the people in the church.

In February I visited mostly unsaved families. Along with a man from the church I make visits on Fridays. I have been seeing two families weekly to explain the Gospel to them. Since I started to visit them the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Adventists began to come and bring them booklets too. I read them only the Scripture and they appreciated this. The first family, Frunza and Ileana V., attended the church for six Sundays. The woman is more open to the Gospel. Her husband is alcoholic. The other family is Gheorghe's family. He and his daughter are open to the Gospel, but his wife isn't because of traditions and relatives. Gheorghe and his daughter continue to attend the church. He even prays openly for his salvation and for his family. He is a special man that always helps us with the rough work for the church. We pray that the Lord will give salvation to these families.

I was invited to a death-watch and preaching the Word in other churches in Igesti, Dranita, Budinet, Cernauti. In Budinet I attended the youth meeting where I preached the Gospel.
