Through God's grace and help I ministered in Patrauti de Sus this month. I got involved in the construction and spiritual life of the church. I would like to share the most significant events of this month.

First, I thank God for helping us to build the walls of the church. Several churches from the Cernauti region helped us. We had to hire a team of builders because we only have a few church members. We also paid some villagers to help us. It was a special opportunity because I could share the Gospel with them. They behaved because they respected us. They didn't curse or smoke or drink on the church property. I mostly got involved in the supply with materials. With God's grace I helped with the construction of the balcony. Following the holidays we would like to build the rooms for children. Another man from the church supervised the construction.

Through God's mercy I organized two evangelistic outreaches where I invited two groups of singers and preachers. Missionary Sandu D. from Pasat village came too. God blessed us with many people who listened to the Gospel. There were six nonbelievers at the first evangelistic service and eight at the second one. Although they listened tearfully to the sermon, not one of them made a decision for the Lord. But after these events a young woman started to come to church.

I also continued to visit the non-Christian families from the village. I visited a poor family that had four children. The mother was pregnant again. When she decided to have an abortion a believer convinced her not to. With a man from the church we visited this family twice, sharing the Gospel with them. The woman listened in tears and said she wanted to have God answers, but she couldn't believe. We prayed for her and her family and we urged her to read the Bible. Her husband and her father worked on the construction of the church for a day. We pray that God will reveal Himself to that family.

I continued to visit Frunza's family every Friday. I wrote you about them in my previous reports. The wife, Lena, is very interested in God. She attends the church. Her husband, Victor, worked at the construction of the church for a week. We pray for them.

We made a short trip on the last Sunday of the month after the service. The weather was warm and we had a beautiful time. We were 14 people and we had the opportunity to get to know one another better. Even the nonbelievers praised the Lord for the creation of the nature.
I want to thank you for the book by Jay Adams. It is very helpful for me in these times.
