Jeremiah 14:22b
In time of crisis ,hope is what people are looking for .In time of crisis Hope is what we have left ,therefore we try to share our hope with others and help others to share their Hope as well .The hope that in Romania the new generation will know God and trust HIM gives us strength to do what we do…
Just two weeks ago we had a training week in Constanta-it is the place in Romania with majority muslim population .We had hopes in the past and for the future and other Christians in the area asked our help to train them reach out the kids …
So here we went for few days to spend a wonderful time with young people in the area and He has done great things there for us …
Using the car so much ,the car became a little danger for Satan, and our oil tank broke because of the bumping roads …it was another challenge due to the need of the car in the work and also due to the funds needed to fix it .Praise God He has been faithful as always .
Valea Bădenilor it is a village we talked about a lot ,but never before we have seen so much power from above …It is a gypsies village and many people working among gypsies loose hope after a while-they change so fast ,have so many hide reasons in searching God ,so fearless and so on..well, all of these theories failed when God started to work in their lives .We were meeting in a house of theirs ,so small ,could not have lots of kids attending, plus some of the adults started to show desire to know God ..without asking or expecting any help from any source or resource ,some of the adults said “ we need to have a little bigger place where kids could meet ,and we could meet too. One man gave part of
his yard to build a small house that will become a little church .Within 3 weeks the little building was ready, built by them ,they came up with the wood ,arms ,food whatever it took to build this .From our experience looks to be the very first gypsies church built in Romania by gypsies alone without any help coming from outside .This was just to be the beginning; beside our meeting with kids (now we have about 70 kids attending bible classes) ,but adults meet EVERY EVENING to study the bible .The Lord “is the one who does all this “indeed.Andrew and Dany are doing just great ,so many improvements in all aspects ,thought to be honest Andrew represents one of the biggest challenges in our lives :they both pray and love bible lessons. Please pray we will have wisdom and patience to raise them up for Kingdom and help them find The Way to Heaven.
Looking ahead there are some activities we need prayer for ,so we need to ask help for one more time .
- In April 6th to 11th this year we will have a training week in Targu Mures .We are glad we can help in this area ,but our prayer is that the ones attending the course will grasp the vision of God for children in their area.
- Cotesti-for a while there has been some work in this village ,some years ago but then there was no place to meet with the kids. Now, Toader Family opened up their home for children ,so a weekly bible study will be every week in this village.Also they asked Vio to help them start a youth Bible study for teens in the village ,so we ask for wisdom in how to divide the time and passion for lost teens
- Berindesti –is a village that benefit from shoe boxes .Petrica Nitu helped Vio find this village ,now he wants a weekly bible study there and Vio accepted the challenge.
To be able to continue the work we need you to pray for God’s provision regarding funds .We have seen His faithfulness and we pray circumstances will not take away our eyes from HIM .
Thank you for praying for us ,helping us and encouraging us ..it is wonderful to know that we are not in crisis of friends and prayer partners .God bless you with HOPE
Viorel,Estera,Dany and Andrew
