Dear brothers and sisters,
In my last report to you, I reminded you and invited you to service. That was back in May of this year.
Time has passed, and now I come before you again with great—truly great—joy and gratitude.
In mid-May, we had the privilege of hosting our first of three annual meetings with the missionaries of PIEI Romania. Each gathering is a blessing—besides praying and sharing fellowship in God’s Word, we also sit at the table together. Around the table, hearts open, and sincere fellowship begins.
Along with several pastors, we visited the PIEI Romania Retreat House, where we saw the progress of the renovation work. We prayed and asked for God’s blessing over the house and the projects ahead.
We are thankful to know that you are praying for us here in Romania, and we want you to know that we are also praying for you—for your special and urgent needs. God is good, and He never delays in answering our prayers, even if the answers don’t always come as quickly as we would like.
Summer Mission Outreach Begins
This summer, our mission activities began with the visit of a team of young and mature believers from Germany, part of the Biblical Mission organization, in partnership with brothers from Moldova.
Their mission, funded by their local church in Germany, was to serve through practical help: supplying firewood, repairing roofs, repainting rooms, cleaning, and chopping wood. All of this was done for needy families, families that PIEI Romania has access to through our pastors and local missionaries.
With God’s help and the team’s support, several families in Ponorel, Abrud, Țelna, and Cricău—areas overseen by Pastors Relu Rodean, Florin Botar, and Tani Nemes—received this much-needed assistance.
The joy and satisfaction experienced by the German team and our local workers were indescribable—how much more the joy and gratitude of those who received the help! We believe God was glorified through these acts, and the people in these villages saw, through the team’s presence and example, that God has not forgotten them and that He loves them.
First Camp at the PIEI Romania Retreat Center – Necrilești
By God’s grace, we also held our first camp at the PIEI Romania Retreat Center in Necrilești.
We were supported by a wonderful team from the United States, led by Sarah Stef and Cornel Stef, president of PIEI Romania.
The camp theme was “Strong and Courageous Like Joshua.” I want to thank and honor each person involved:
• Local leaders like Pastor Daniel Petru, Sister Viorica, Brother Tini, Brothers Chris and Abby Dima, Sister Gabriela, Pastor Florin Botar
• Our kitchen team: Alisa Dima, Daniela, and Petriana
• And the U.S. team: Cornel and Sarah Stef, Sister Rosie, and young Lexi
God blessed us with good weather, sunshine, sports, worship through music and prayer, food for the body, and nourishment for the soul.
We are especially thankful to report that out of 24 children attending, 8 made a decision to give their lives to Jesus Christ and enter into a covenant with Him.
This is a tremendous grace, and I give all glory to God. I also want this testimony to encourage you, who pray for and support the ministry of PIEI Romania. May the Lord richly reward you!
In the last day of ministry, the US team had the opportunity to visit our national director, pastor Timotei Stinea at his church in Victoria, where some team members brought a word of encouragement for the church.
What’s Next?
We are now preparing to welcome a second team. Part of this group will serve in southern Romania, while the other part will travel to Ukraine.
Our brothers and sisters from the U.S. will help with the reconstruction of the PIEI center in Podari – Craiova, and they will also take part in an outreach ministry that provides free eyeglasses as a way of sharing the Gospel.
Please Pray With Us:
• That this new team will have a strong spiritual impact
• That the name of the Lord will be glorified
• For wisdom, unity, protection, and open hearts in both Romania and Ukraine
Thank you for your partnership in prayer and mission. May God bless you abundantly!
With gratitude,
Mike Dima - PIEI Romania Secretary
