Our dear brothers in Christ,
By God’s grace, we want to share with you some of the things that God did with and through us last month on the spiritual battlefield that He brought us. Because it has always been our desire to grow relationships with the kids and teenagers here in Mihalţ, this Autumn, we have started a new Bible study with them. It is called the “Alpha study” and it implies 9 meetings, talking about 7 important subjects such as: “Who is Jesus?”, “Why, how, and to whom should I pray ?”, “Why did Jesus die?”, etc. While at special meetings, for Christmas and Easter for example, or the Summer Bible School, about 60-70 children come, we only had about 10 children coming constantly for these meetings, which has been a little bit of a disappointment and wonder to us, making us try to think and figure out what is something that we can do to improve and maybe make them more interesting, but in the same time keep the essence and the biblical truth in the center of them all. Nevertheless, even when we can sense the clear fight for these souls, we are thankful for the children who do come to every meeting and grateful for the time that we have to grow deeper relationships with the children from our churches and for them to talk and know more about each other.
On November, 19th, we had the Thanksgiving Holiday celebration in our Church from Crăciunelu de Jos. We were glad to see that about a quarter of the people in Church that evening were unbelievers. We had a blessed time together singing about God’s greatness, and His blessings and listening about how even and especially His love for us is calling us towards Him.
We are preparing, with God’s help, an evangelistic event at the Cultural House in Mihalţ. We have obtained legal consent from the local authorities, gave out flyers, and put up posters, but especially we continue to pray for God to move the hearts of the people living in this village and for them to come, listen to the Gospel, and let It change their lives. We would like for the main purpose of this meeting to be the birth of our Savior and what it means for all humanity.
Prayer requests:
For the evangelistic event from December the 9th. For the presence of The Holy Spirit and for the people’s hearts to be moved.
For the remaining meetings from the „Alpha Study”
Be blessed,
Daniel Petrut - PIEI Romania Missionary
