Lamentations 5:21
Crisis and restoration sounds to be linked...after crisis restoration needs to take place ..and since spiritual crisis ,financial crisis and all kind of crisis take place around us we are looking for restoration ,but only the one coming from above..
One of the crisis in our lives as a family started as soon as we got the two little kids and we did not even know the size and the impact of it The kids are doing wonderful from all points of view ,God even provided a bunk bed for them and they are happy and we are trilled to see little more space in that room. However Andrew is a real challenge to us in so many spiritual ways ,not just by keeping us busy but the things that get into his mind and lips ,the things he learns from his dad when they meet the evil plans he makes even though he is not even 7 took us by surprise and gets most of our spiritual power. Because his father still has his rights ,Andrew loves his dad and his dad loves him and because the deal was to keep him just for a while ,(with us having no right to discipline Andrew in any way)we pray this “deal time “ to come to an end .His dad hates Dani from the bottom of his heart and he wants us to keep Dani for good or to adopt him.
Please pray for restoration in Andrew’s heart ,in our walk with the Lord and our time with Him.God is giving us strength however and helps us to go on ,by encouraging others to take the Good News to other kids .In April we had the chance to be in Targu Mures and do a training week there .The students were mainly from an organization there reaching kids from troubled homes and areas .We were very encouraged by their efforts ..and our prayer is that the Lord will restore in every possible way Dacian and help him go on with the great work he does in
that area and may all students be restored in their walk with the Lord (many of them will do something for the Lord if they get paid and this takes away the chance from many kids to hear the Good News and benefit from different services given by this organization).By blessing others we get blessed –we experienced that in the last years of ministry .God blesses people with jobs and they bless us with their donations, God gives people
awareness of prayer’s power and we get blessed by seeing the result of their prayers .Recently we have been blessed because a wonderful ministry has been blessed with shoes , lots of shoes and out of nowhere we got a phone call to go and pick up shoes for our area .Another man from the church has been blessed with a van and he allowed Vio to use it and bring the shoes..so the story goes on..others were blessed-they blessed us .We have been blessed and blessed others ..There are so many touching stories about this distribution of shoes that you won’t believe .In one family(Vlasceanu family from Pauleasca) there were 8 kids ,all of them had their shoes out of use and the older ones asked their dad for shoes…the answer they kept getting was “ have no way of giving you any” .Their parents were crying and praying for days in row and one Saturday Vio gets in the village and gives to each child from this family a pair of shoes ..the exact size .It takes a little bit of heaven on earth to comprehend the meaning of those tears ..kids were crying out of happiness ,parents were weeping out of thankfulness ….
There is still restoration to take place and many new things to happen. Therefore we need your prayers for:
• Andrew and the issue regarding his situation ..whatever God has in His plans for his dad so he can take Andrew back( because his dad not having him brings lots tension and suspicion from his side) .
• From 29th june to 11th of july there will be multiple activities going one, including Estera teaching in the Insitute ,Vio running a camp, plus we need to see what to do with the kids in the meanwhile. Before that lots of materials need to be prepared.
• We need prayers to experience God’s faithfulness regarding finances for the ministry and personal expenses-since we are in debt .
• In 4 villages the kids from weekly bible clubs have different ages and Vio needs to separate them in kids and teens ,but workers are needed for this.
May we all be restored and return to Him for forgiveness, strength, provision and hope
Viorel &Estera Dani & Andrew
