A Moment of Great Joy

Through the grace of God we find ourselves towards the end of the year and each year at this time many events happen. From funerals to marriage, from tears of sorrow to tears of joy, from sadness to a moment of great joy we all live under the eyes of the Lord Jesus and His grace. 

Although we still remember the visit of the team from the States led by Cornel and Gabi Stef out of the desire to pour a drop of joy into the hearts of everyone wherever they walked, they exposed themselves to an effort beyond the limits of a man. That is why we pray every day for them: Sister Gabi and Cornel Stef, Rodica and brother Alex Pope, Walter, Timothy, Jenu and others.

Brother Timothy proposed that we all make disciples in the places where God has placed us and sent us some helpful material: The life and the teachings of Jesus by Bill Bright. I had to go through it myself and now I am in the selection phase of those willing to grow spiritually and become disciples. I would like to mobilize more leaders who in their time will make more disciples. I find this both biblical and necessary. The mission given to me by Jesus is to share the Gospel and now to make disciples, with a view to planting new churches in places where there are no Christian meetings, and this is a project for the future. I confess to you that this project is very difficult but we pray that we receive grace in this regard. 

Another reason for prayer is that next month I have to make about 600 gifts for children from the orphanages of Tigveni and Buzoiesti as well as in 3 villages of Rudari: Dumiresti Valley, Rotunda, and the Uiasca Valley.

I would like to bring before the throne of grace the PIE Committee in Romania and the United States as well as our dear sponsors who have not yet left us and who represent a very important part of this team called PIE. We pray that our Lord Jesus will repay you in every way! I would also remember Ed and Didi with the whole family, Marioara Barac, the family of Matei and Sister Naomi etc...

For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel. -Ezra 7:10
