Like every month when I write this short report, I find myself in some difficulty because I don't know what to write first. For example, yesterday I was invited to an evangelical church in Cîmpulung about 40 km away from Curtea de Arges. This church has a contract with the local television station to broadcast twice a week a program of the assembly with sermons and songs. This is an opportunity to get God's Word into many homes.
After finishing the church service I went to the village Leresti to participate at a funeral service. Here I met other opportunities. What impressed me most was the husband of sister Paula who went to the Lord Jesus had died just two days earlier. Their testimony to the whole village was that everyone saw them when they went to church, always hand in hand. They joined our Father in heaven almost at the same time.
I have a program with the girls from the orphanage. We only have a little bit left before we finish the course "EXAMINE ME." In the gypsy villages there is still work to be done in making disciples, and we continue to move forward. In terms of my health, thank you very much for the prayers. I feel perfectly fine.
Next month I go to the hospital in Fundeni (Bucharest) for medical analysis. My wife is being treated for Alzheimer's disease and she has a kidney cyst, but the Lord Jesus is in control.
I would like to thank brother Cornel, sister Gabi and sister Rodica who are interested in our health. We feel them close to our hearts. We pray every night at 9 pm not only for them, but also for the entire PIEI Committee in Romania and the USA. We also pray for our wonderful sponsors who have not left us until now. We can say with all our hearts that they are partners in the work we have from God our Father.
I would mention Ed and Diana and their family and their business; also Sister Mărioara Barac who often sends us packages of clothes and shoes (the goods are very useful); brother Matthew and sister Naomi; and all those who I do not know, but whom are known by God.
I would like to end with a verse from Ephesians 2:6: "He raised us together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus."
