Sunny Days

I wish you to have sunny days, as the sun brings light and warmth to people's souls, and we greatly need light to shine in the darkness of this world.

I am trying to fight, the good fight of faith, even though I encounter difficulties. It happens that when I fight for those in the world, problems arise in the church, misunderstandings in families, illnesses, and earthly matters take precedence, and then the church.

Thank you, dear brothers from the PIEI Organization for your help and understanding. I also have issues with Ștefan at Rotunda. Sister Maria needs encouragement, she needs help. I never expected Ștefan to have a divided heart, I relied on him, I was preparing him for ministry, and he is also the church treasurer. I have a great pain in my heart and a great disappointment.

On February 23-24, together with Brother Timotei, Brother Walter, Brother Mike, and the working brothers from the south, we had a meeting at Sister Florina's. Mr. Bogdan also attended this meeting; we signed the contracts with PIE and discussed involvement in the work.

Together with Vera, we visited the Avram family in Sadova (husband, wife, daughter-in-law), who are church members, but they had misunderstandings. We discussed, and prayed, and I believe God brought peace. They came to church on Sunday.

Prayer and fasting can bring light to the church and to families with problems. It is normal to have discussions; what is important is that God's truth prevails.

Please pray for me!!! Be blessed and protected by God's great power!

Entrusted

Romans 15:13

“Now the God of hope fills you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”

Dear brothers and sisters in the PIEI organization, I wish you a blessed year filled with peace, health, and abundant fruits. May God keep you in His grace, and may you feel His kind hand and saving power.

The year 2023 was a blessed one, and even the trials turned out to be blessings in the end. We received teachings and warning signs. In December, I visited Sister Maria several times; she was bedridden. After a successful brain operation, she fell and broke her leg.

Also in December, we assisted a family in Suceava, a family in Ukraine, and a widow in Russia with 5 children. The support was in the form of financial aid from our church.

At our last meeting, I was entrusted with the prayer ministry for the brothers and sisters in PIEI, so that each of our ministries may result in the salvation of people, addressing each one's family issues, spiritual needs, and health.

I thank God for the daily strength I receive and the desire to serve Him with all that I am. The essence of Christianity is prayer. You are all in my daily prayers, with all the needs you have entrusted to me. Thank you for your assistance. May you have success in all things!

Philippians 4:19

“But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Full of Grace

Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Father full of grace, I want there to be a single loyalty in my entire being. I no longer want to rest until I come under the dominion of the Absolute, when the Absolute will have the final word. In the name of Jesus!

Dear brothers, I want to carry out this work that has been entrusted to me with and in the presence of God. Thank you for the trust, for the prayers, for the help. You are in my daily prayers, and I wish for these prayers to be reflected in your lives.

I bless you with all my heart! With the cold, it's harder to connect with people from the world; they've entered the warmth. I go to Rotunda weekly, I receive 2550 kg of potatoes and give some to the brothers in the church, and the rest I distribute to needy families with children, widows, and people without help.

I brought them a little joy! This month, I visited sick families who could not come to church; other people took them and brought them by car. 

Prayer Requests: 

• To walk with God every day, love to love difficult people,

• The awakening of the church from a lukewarm state. 

1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”

Thank you, and I wish that God's peace will flood your life, reflecting Jesus.

Be Steadfast

1 Corinthians 15:57

"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

And behold, I will send upon you the promise of My Father..."

Dear brothers and sisters in the PIE organization, I pray that God may pour out upon you strength, health, and reward each one of you individually, for the love with which you assist me, for the prayers lifted up for me and my household.

I feel blessed every day because I wake up from bed and breathe God's air. And the month of October has been a blessed month. I visited Podari several times, and I pray that God may bless this work.

On October 15th, we had an evangelization event in Rotunda. On the 19th, 20th, and 21st, I had the privilege to meet with the missionary brothers from PIE, BROTHER CORNEL STEF, ALEX, and RODICA. It was a blessed meeting. Brother Timotei and Daniel Petruț spoke from the Word. It was a different meeting because each received different ministries within the mission. I received the ministry of prayer. I pray for the spiritual needs of the missionaries and for revival in each of their areas. My wife Vera and I pray together.

Thank you for supporting us in prayer for this work! “Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 15:58

Empower Every Work

Philippians 4:19

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."

May God fulfill with power every work born of faith! Thank you for your participation in the work in this area through the help you sent in September.

I pray that God bless you with health in body and soul so that you can continue the Lord's work. This month, we had prayer and fellowship in each home with Sister - Rila Elena, Duduianu Viorel and Minodora, Staicu Emilian and Leonora, Staicu Mihai and Niculina, and Sister Trana Enache.

We continued to go to Rotunda weekly, and we decided to have an evangelization event in this locality on October 15th.

I found out that a brother in the village of Celaru near Caracal had his leg amputated. I visited him several times, and then with two brothers from the church, we cleaned his house, brought him food, and on September 24th, we managed to get him a wheelchair.

He cried tears of joy, and I was even happier that I could help him.

On September 17th, we had an evangelization event in Caciulatesti, unfortunately, there were only two people.

With great sorrow, I must say that the church did not engage in fasting and prayer; the brothers are cold.

Prayer requests:

• The fervency of the church

• Involvement in fasting and prayer

• Faith to be seen through deeds

• Prayer for the village of Rotunda

May our God empower every work born of faith!

Lord's Work

Here's what I still have in my heart, and this is what gives me hope... Your faithfulness is so great!

I offer thanks to the Lord for the month of August. I am searching for a person because I have seen how young people are lost when they go out into the world, even from our own church. I have a burning desire to rehabilitate them, and I believe it is not impossible, but it requires people who are fully committed.

I have found these people in Balotești, near Bucharest. Together with Brother Timotei, I visited this center. At this center, we found rehabilitated girls. About 90 percent of them return to God, reintegrate into society, and become useful in the Lord's work.

I continue to go to Rotunda, thanking the Lord for these dedicated brothers with a holy desire. Sister Maria, who underwent brain surgery, is doing well, and we meet at her home. I thank God for Stefan and his entire family; his brother periodically visits, and he works in the police force.

We have decided to conduct evangelism in Rotunda and Căciulați in September; please pray for us.

The Lord has not been idle; that's why I send you my thanks, accompanied by daily prayers and rewards from the Lord.

With love,

Gabi Cuc - PIEI Romania Missionary

God honors sincere heart

”For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:11‭-‬13)

Blessings to you, dear brothers and sisters from the PIEI organization. Thank you for the support, for the help, for being a part of this family. This month, God has been with me every day. I felt him close to me.

On June 5th, I went with brother Timotei to Brebu (Caras-Severin) for the pension paperwork. It was a blessed journey, at the Brebu City Hall, we met Mrs. Nuti, who was very receptive to the Word.

On June 23rd, I visited sister Maria in Caracal, and then we went to brother Stefan in Rotunda. We had a study and prayer time together with his wife and mother.

On July 6th, 7th, and 8th, I had a meeting with brother Cornel Stef, brother Timotei, brother Jenu, and their families, along with other brothers from PIEI. Many issues were discussed, one of them being the situation of our children and young people in general.

Prayer Requests:

• For the children of the Caciulatesti church, who attended regularly until the eighth grade but then left for studies and strayed away.

• For me, the salvation of the young is paramount; they have the capacity and power to carry the Gospel forward.

May the Lord bless you all!

Thanks to brother Cornel Stef, Alex and Rodica Pop, brother Timotei, brother Jenu for your efforts, involvement, help, and prayers.

May you be protected every moment by the power of the Lord! Those who truly trust in God become trustworthy. Help me, Lord, to bring everything I start to a good end.

Blessing to Many

Psalm 91

You who stretch out and embrace me in Your unconditional love, help me to do the same! I give glory to the Lord for everything that has happened in my life. For He will command His angels to guard you in all your ways. Thank you, Lord, for all the things that have happened in my life, in my family, and in the church. I have felt the hand of the Lord fully upon me, upon the work.

• In May, I went to Rotunda every week, where I met with Stefan's entire family and studied 1 and 2 Peter. 

• In June, I went to Caracal twice to visit Sister Maria. She had surgery on her head. 

• In May-June, I had a fellowship time at brother Duduianu's house (in Sadova). 

• In May, I went for two days to help with mowing in Podari. 

• On May 29th, I went to Transylvania to get my pension documents.

I had a blessed time together with my mother and brothers. On June 1st, I left Transylvania for Craiova, making a few hours stop at my brother Jenu in Alba to change the tires on my car. At 3 PM, I continued my journey to Craiova. 

In Lainici, I had a car accident, but thank God I was unharmed. On June 10th, we had a time of fellowship at the church council.

Among other administrative issues, we prayed for the work in Podari. In Oitenia, nothing has been done for the rehabilitation of the youth, and many have fallen into sin. I am convinced that it is a difficult task that requires significant involvement from the church, but the impact is very powerful.

Please pray for me as well, as I need light and wisdom in all my decisions. I wish you spiritual and physical health and may you be a blessing to many.

Working For A Greater Good

Psalm 91:1   "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." 

I give glory to God because I once again felt His father's love when I walked through the valley of the shadow of death. We had a busy period, then the fatigue spoke its word. On March 25th, I fell off my feet, again at the mercy of God.

In March I went to Podari together with my wife to graft some trees, and fill the gas tank for the ministry house. Later on March 3rd I went to Rotunda and on March 10 to Podari.

On March 24, I took three boys from Caciulatesti to Podari to help fix the roof for the ministry house. From March 25, I stayed in bed for a few days because I was sick.

Now that I've come to my senses, Vera's giving me an injection complex of vitamins, I feel better and I can sleep. Thank you for your indulgence and understanding and not least for your help. And brother Timothy is tired and needs rest. I am convinced that we must support each other and be tolerant. I help him as much as I can. Now we have also started work at the church in Caciulatesti, repairs, painting and we want to make a toilet inside the church. Pray that God will give me wisdom to perform the works of the Lord so that no one will suffer. God bless you and give you health and make you a blessing for many!

Everything For God

”Living for the glory of God For Him are all things’’ (Romans 11:36) 

I give glory to God for this month. Thank you for being a part of this work with the material help of sending it to me. God bless you!

I wish with all my being to be able to live in dependence on God, so that the power of the Holy Spirit can be manifested in my life and in my entrusted works.

Thank you for brother Stephen, his wife, his mother, for sister Mary of Rotunda. They are not absent from the church, Sunday by Sunday, and on Thursday biblical study in their homes. I pray that God adds to the church, stable and God-fearing people. A person named Fortian (55 years old), has come to receive Lord Jesus. He is a trustworthy man. I visited the older sisters, praying in the house to a sick sister who can’t walk. Stefan is active and devoted in his work of spreading the Gospel. His child has autism and needs attention, his wife started reading the Bible and sometimes comes to church.

Prayer Requests:

• For the Church and bothers from Rotunda (the new church plant)

• For my guidance through the Holy Spirit

• For spreading the Gospel in this area of Caciulatesti and surround

Peace and joy may not miss you!

Spring of Life

”Fear of the Lord is a spring of life” (Proverbs 14:27) 

I am grateful for this month in which the Lord has accompanied me. I am thankful for the discoveries that the Lord has made to me. Thanks for your help!

May you be in abundance of health, and may the grace and power of God accompany you in all family and spiritual actions! I continue the work in Rotunda, a great joy to see brothers with heart for the Lord.

On October 14th Alex and Rodica Stef visited us and we had a very warm companionship. God bless them!

On October 16th, I visited the sick brothers in the church. On October 25th I held a funeral in Sadova. On October 20th, I visited a family with 20 children, and I also helped them with everything I could.

Prayer Requests: 

• For the church in Caciulatesti

• For me, I need guidance and protection in the battle I have to fight.

Faith in Action - Reaching, Helping, Going, Giving - To Win them for Christ

On October 2nd, Stefan had the opportunity of partaking the Communion of the Lord. After a long period of time he returned to the church with a shocking testimony of repentance. Through his testimony the whole church was touched and moved.

Every Thursday I go with another brother to the village of Rotunda to visit sister Mary. In the last week a neighbor also came to study with us.

In the month of September I studied the book of James. Also this month, I was also able to help a family with 20 children in Bistret Village. I built a stove for a family with seven children in Piscu Sadovei. I also bought them some food, I took notebooks to the children, from the ones that brother Cornel Stef brought them.

Thank you for the grace and power we receive to preach the Gospel and through deeds. Thank you for your material help, for supporting me in prayer, for I have many struggles too. Further, please pray for Sara, our daughter.

We Are Blessed

Beloved brothers in the Lord.

August 21st, we had a new baptism. Sister Maria from Rotunda - 65 years old. The baptism was attended by brother Timotei Stânea, and people from Rotunda and Caciulatesti. The baptism was performed by me, the pastor of the church. This sister's testimony had an emotional impact on the church.

After marriage, the sister lived with her husband's parents, who were Adventist. Sister, being a very unfaithful woman she completely ignored repentance, but she remained with a very good opinion of her father-in-law although she divorced her husband with whom she had two children. He remarried and divorced again. Her first husband died. After many internal struggles she researched and began studying the Bible. For about a year I visited her, after which she decided to receive the Lord Jesus.

We are blessed that this event has made a difference in the lives of the people of the villages of Rotunda and Caciulatesti. Every Thursday I go to Rotunda to sister Maria’s house where the neighbors come.

Thank you for the prayer support for Rotunda, the family of brother Stefan, the family of sister Maria.

Thank you for your material help and prayer for me and my family, not least the church in Caciulatesti!

Remain Faithful

Dear brothers, 

I personally live in constant pain for those in my home and for those who preach the Gospel to them. There is no faith. Lord, thank you for your grace.

The meeting in Alba Iulia, brought me out of the "comfort" zone and we had the opportunity to share our pains, joys and hardships that we encounter in the work.

The hope that God put in my heart relieves my pain. Sunday, August 14th, we have a baptism in Rotunda. Sister Mary has been coming to church for a year. Pray that the power of God touches other people.

I'm in trouble in church too. We have two families who want to preach in church at any price. Pray for me to remain faithful in the Word, and to receive light, to see everything through the eyes of the Lord, not to compromise with sin.

Thank you for your help! Even if the mountains were to shake, I will remain faithful to Him who gave His life for me.

Blessed be my dear brothers in PIEI organization! 

“Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.” (Romans 4:20-21)

Demands of Ministry

“Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?” (Ezekiel 18:23)

Because thanks is the pleasant sacrifice to the Lord, I also bring thanks to the Lord and to you for all your material and spiritual support. You are in my daily prayers, and I believe that this is essential. I pray for God’s protection over you, your family and your work!

I go to Rotunda every two weeks. As it is very hot outside, I no longer go to Marsani every Sunday. However, at Marsani I made contact with a family, a father and his 19 year old son, Ionut. They started coming to the church.

There is a problem at the church in Caciulatesti with a brother who doesn't like obeying church rules. I left a time of prayer and research. There are also two sisters who do not attend church even once a month or every two months. It is painful to see materialism taking over people, including those in the church.

The condition of the church stresses me, and sometimes I have health problems. I cannot rejoice, although joy must be full in the Lord. I much need prayer. Thank you and blessings to you!

Gabi Cuc - PIEI Romania Missionary

Helping From Behind

My dear brothers of PIEI. I thank God that in this past month He showed mercy to me and gave me success in His work. Thank you for your financial and prayer support. May God reward you!

This month, I indirectly helped a brother, who has ten children. I said indirectly because I connected a brother from Banat, who bought them a cow and brought them a lot of food. It was a great joy in this family.

May 18, I visited Ion and Simona. Simona is very ill. I took her to the hospital, and helped them with paperwork so they could receive social assistance. I visit them regularly, and I talk to them about the Lord Jesus Christ. God's mercy is great.

May 25, brother Cornel Stef, brother Timotei Stanea, brother Alex and sister Rodica Stef visited and we discussed the work.

I thank God that we can trust Him for heaven, and also while here in the land of the living. “In you, Lord my God, I put my trust” (Psalm 25:1)

May God help me in everything I begin to complete. May the Lord bless you with faith which moves mountains, and may the Lord set you in the safest place "in the center of His will."

Gabi Cuc - PIEI Romania Missionary

Christ Has Risen!

I thank the Lord for our brotherhood and salvation. I thank Him for all things in my life. 

May the Lord bless you for your help in my work, your prayers, and for your financial assistance.

April was a blessed month. On April 16 I went to Rotunda and began a study in Ephesians. Weekly I go to Marsani, where I meet with my parents and children in the community.

I did some repairs with the brothers in the church. The work in the country finds my brothers fatigued. I desperately need support in prayer: faith there is diluted and the ice is melted only by the fire of prayer. I visit my brothers and sisters at home for prayer, but even some feel the lack of Gospel fire. God bless you!  And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will. (2 Timothy 2:24-26)

Feel With those In Need

Dear brothers and sisters in the PIE organization, peace and blessing over your lives and homes.

Thank God for His grace we see everyday, and we still have the possibility to share it with people. The important thing is to fulfill God's will in the places he has put us in. Thank you for the help that you send, I wish you well and I wish you a reward for everything you do for me and my house.

I think March was a month in which God called the whole world to repentance. I went to Marsani, where the children continue to come with their parents. On one Sunday a family came and we agreed to pay them a visit at home. Also this month, we had a fundraiser for the brothers in Ukraine and sent 3000 lei for food to Alba Lulia. May God allow this grace to feed with those in need.

Prayer Requests:

• For the Fans family from Marsani.

• We as the church pray that God will stop the disaster in Ukraine, which we also feel economically, but ultimately we believe in God’s Will.

With love, your brother in Jesus Christ,

Gabi Cuc - PIEI Romania Missionary

Blessed Day

Dear brothers of the PIE organization. Thank God for his mercy every day .

May God give you more than you ask, may His health for you be long, and may your reward be great for all you do for me and my family. 

On February 27th a friend from Rotunda gave his life to the Lord and made a commitment in the water of baptism. Ionut, is 27 years old. There are two other candidates for baptism: a 43-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman.

Every Sunday I go to Marsani. The children are consistent in attendance, and some children come with their parents. No one has expressed desire to be baptized, but we are glad that they come and listen to the Gospel.

This month with three brothers from church we went to the forest and took a wooden car to a sister in Craiova. 

Fanita, a 56-year-old woman, began coming to the church in Caciulatesti. I am thankful for consistency in going to Caciulesti this month. However, God has his plans for salvation of souls in that community when I can’t go.

Thank you for your support in prayer. My wish is for the Holy Spirit to add lost souls in the communities to which I go.

Gabi Cuc - PIEI Romania Missionary

Fufill The Word Of God

God bless you dear brothers and sisters of the PIEI family! 

This year I pray to be a year of abundant blessings, mercy, health and power in prayer. In these times we need support in prayer.

I am confident that doing good is primary in Christian life. December 24th, I helped a sister by bringing her firewood. On December 29th, a team from Timisoara brought gifts to the children of Rotunda. We enjoyed them together with the children. There were also a few adults. 

Since January 4th, I've had a health problem. I stayed in bed for two weeks where I had time for prayer and meditation. The 25 children on Marsani are becoming more and more active. This year the desire of my soul is that together with the church in which I serve, we fulfill the Word of God.

”Then the church throughout all Judea, Galilee and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied” (Acts 9:31)

Be blessed, along with the families and churches to which you belong!
