We continued to have worship services at O Del SI Amenca church. We also had a Bible school for children once a week. There were around 15 children at the beginning, but now we have about 30. They have the opportunity to hear Bible lessons, learn Scripture and many other useful things. We had a meeting for the youth from several Gypsy communities. The purpose was to teach them to be holy, obedient and morally pure. Hopefully, when the time comes, several of them will choose to be involved in the ministry as Sunday school teachers, leaders, and missionaries. We had 50 people who attended this meeting. We wanted to have as many as possible but there were some who couldn't afford to come. I want to continue to have these kind of meetings regularly.

We had two evangelistic events in Ghimpati and Padureni. There were 47 people who attended the service in Padureni where three of them surrendered their lives to Jesus. In Ghimpati, two people decided to follow Christ while seven others rededicated their lives.

I met with other missionaries and talked about the Christmas programs and the evangelistic event. I had the opportunity to travel to Plovdiv, Bulgaria. I visited five areas where we have evangelistic services for Gypsy people. I was accompanied by a group of Gypsy missionaries from Romania and Bulgaria. We visited small churches that had greater needs than our own churches and prayed for them. During the evangelistic events, 87 of the 500 people who attended them trusted the Lord. We pray that they will stay close to the Lord and He will strengthen them in times of need.

Brother Florin S. and I visited the mission in Strehaia. We had evangelistic services two nights in a row. During the day, we approached people and invited them to come. We encouraged brother Tony A. and helped him to establish a new mission vision for Strehaia.

This month was also a time to deal with several administrative issues from our church and the missions.

We helped with getting the building from Jilava ready. We have a kindergarten upstairs for the children from the village. There are 37 kids who come.  Five of their parents started to come to our church.
