traininng others

And the things that you have heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit you to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also … 2 Timothy 2:2

Passing unto others, enlarging the team of children workers

Since we have been accepted into God’s family ,our desire is to serve Him and the calling is to serve Him among kids ..therefore even thought it is a command ,it is not a burden to us ,what God wishes us to do.

One of the things we are asked to do is to train others how to work with kids and how to reach the Kids . This is what we have done in the last weeks ...

Two weeks ago we were asked to teach in a training course in Brasov .There were about 15 people attending ,and 12 of them “graduated” –meaning they showed enough interest to start ,finish the course and get involved among kids in Brasov area.

We had a full week with teachings and a great deal of interes from students ….of different ages .Had teens and older people .From 17 to 50.All with a great desire to do something for kids around them.

Radita -50 (first in the picture) acted like a sponge during the whole training ,ready to absorb anything. At the end of the week she confessed “ I just noticed I have so much love to offer for kids around me ,just did not know how to do it .Now I know ,and I will tell them first about God’s love ,which will never fail ,and then I will give them my love that comes from the Lord

Continue to pray for people attending the courses we hold in different parts of Romania ,so that they will put into practice what we share with them..

Right before that went to Switzerland to an European training regarding work among preschoolers . Appreciate all your prayers ,since I ( Estera ) drove all the way there and back ,and Vio was at home running the weekly clubs and do some work in the same time …

After Brasov ,off to go to Drobeta Turnu Severin- an area that God placed so much on our hearts due to poverty there , most of all starting from spiritual poverty which it is linked to their material poverty .Spend some days down there to help the 6 workers in that area how to teach Christian kids about mission ,giving ,prayer and share . we would love to encourage you to pray for Oltenia ,for the needs there ,and of course more workers .Especially pray for the family working at Neemiah’s house (Steenbergen)….to be encouraged by the Lord and continue to do the great work started down there .

In the "brakes"of few hours went to schools ,and villages to teach the lesson on Jesus death and resurrection .

What next…we were asked to teach a course for camp leaders from all over Romania , in Sibiu next week and preparations for summer camps started …we need to come up with ideas , games ,crafts to help teach the life of Esther better …beside prayers coming from you any practical ideas will be appreciated .…and beside that need to run the “regular “ ministry in villages and orphanages.

Thanks for passing unto us so that we can pass unto others and so on…we will see together the end of the “rope” one day - many blessed kids ..

Being part of your team
