I am so thankful to the Lord for another month of blessings and opportunities to share the Gospel and to work in His field.

God's ministry in Tereblecia

Another month of life and work went so fast in the field of the Gospel. Praise the Lord for His blessings from this month. Through the Lord's mercy and help this month I visited this village seven times and I preached seven times. After the services I had counselling meetings and  prayed with twelve people. I talked to a young man who attends the church for four months now. I praise the Lord for him. After our discussion he repented and wanted to be baptized. After the counselling meetings I paid visits throughout the village. I visited ten families where I read the Gospel and prayed with them. During these visits I also talked to six non-believers. We also had a meeting with the members where we planned the Lord's ministry for the next month. I continued to emphasize teaching on the church. I wish that all the members would get involved in the ministry. During the service we had a time when everyone could say a verse and sing a song. We also had the opportunity to share a testimony on how the Lord had worked in our lives the week before. We did all these for the spiritual edification of the church and God's glory.

God's ministry in Cernauti area

I visited several villages and preached the Gospel. I spoke at an evangelistic event in Dinauti village and a young woman repented. Praise the Lord. I went with the whole church tp Pueni village. There we had an evangelistic outreach in the community centre and an old woman repented. We were glad that the Lord gave repentance to several persons in the villages from the Cernauti area. I visited Pasat village one Sunday morning. There I preached about faith and what faith brings forth. Sandu D. and I visited an invalid man after the service. We went to his home to discuss the truth and pray with him. During the week I visited Bahranesti village where I preached the Gospel and counselled with the members following the service. Another time I preached at a funeral in this village where many nonbelievers listened to the Gospel. At the end of the month I participated in another funeral in Stanesti village.  There were over 500 people who attended. The Holy Spirit urged me to take bread with me. When I started to preach I raised my Bible on one hand and the bread on the other one. I preached about "the Bread of life", and that man will not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Materialism is the most difficult problem that we are facing in our churches and in the world today. Another problem is the fact that people don't read the Bible anymore. At this funeral I asked two questions, "When was the last time you ate bread for feeding your body?" and "When was the last time you ate the bread of God for feeding your soul and for living eternally?". I praised the Lord for that message. It had a great impact on those who were there. The Lord gave me this month several opportunities to preach the Gospel on different occasions. I pray that the Word of God will be quick and powerful in the hearts of those who heard it. Please pray for these people.

Also, I had a meeting with the missionaries. And then we had two conferences with pastors, missionaries, preachers and some guests from the U. S. I had four other meetings with different pastors and missionaries. We prayed and planned the ministry for three areas in the Ukraine where Romanians lived.
