With the help of God, we find ourselves at the end of the year, specifically at the end of November! I say this because we do not know what tomorrow holds! I am not sure where to start, but I think it would be appropriate to begin with joy. My dear wife has gained weight, going from 49 kg to 56 kg. Regarding memory, she still knows me, and that is also a reason for gratitude. Every day, we read the Word and pray together, and I take care of her more than myself. Until now, I take her to church, although not everywhere.
I would like to mention that every Friday, we have a program with the girls from the Tigveni Orphanage at church. The goal is to make disciples out of them and for them to be missionaries in the orphanage because we have an objective (that when the Lord Jesus comes, the orphanage will be empty). We see the villages of Rudari, Valea Dumiresti, Valea-Uiasca, and Rotunda weekly, and here, too, we have an objective to make disciples.
In this direction, we started a Discipleship School with materials from Brother Timotei, the national director of PIEI. I announce that we have reached step 6, and it is a great joy and blessing. I confess that for me, walking step by step with the flock, some things are new. I also do this work joyfully because the Lord Jesus accompanies and strengthens us.
Before sending a few pictures, I would like to mention that both the leadership of PIEI in Romania and in the United States are on the same wavelength and are interested in the progress of the work for each missionary. Therefore, we pray for them, and I would like to name them as they are listed in the prayer list: Brother Cornel and Gabi Ștef, Brother Alex and Sister Rodica Popa, Brother Timotei and Brother Jenu. We pray with joy for all because we form a team.
I cannot forget our wonderful sponsors: ED and DAIANA, who have not left me for many years, the Scheau family, and Sister Naomi, Sister Mărioara Barac. I pray with joy for all that the Lord Jesus will reward and bless them as God sees fit.
I would like to conclude with a verse of great comfort: John 17:24 "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world."
