ven though he initially felt that he was the least prepared among those participating in the mission. His testimony reminded us once again that God does not depend on our abilities or qualifications. Rather, He delights in using willing hearts and available servants for the glory of His name. To Him belongs all the praise!
Another special encouragement for our church came through an invitation to participate in a project documenting the life and ministry of Iosif Țon, a well-known Romanian Baptist theologian and Christian leader.
We learned that Mihalț holds a special place in Brother Țon's family history. After returning from the war, where he had first heard about God, his father learned that there was a group of Baptist believers in Mihalț. In response, he walked approximately 13 miles to meet with them. Through that encounter, he surrendered his life to the Lord and was baptized here in Mihalț.
With Brother Țon's permission, given during his lifetime, a fellow brother who stood alongside him in ministry has been traveling throughout Romania, gathering information and personal testimonies for a book about his life and legacy. His visit to our church was a meaningful opportunity to remember this important part of our spiritual heritage and to recognize how God has worked through generations of believers.
We are deeply encouraged to see how the Lord continues to use the testimony of those who came before us to strengthen and inspire the present generation of believers.
Prayer Request: Please pray that the seeds of the Gospel planted through our Thanksgiving celebration will take root in the hearts of those who heard the message. Pray that our church in Mihalț will remain faithful in sharing Christ with the people of our community and that the Lord will bring forth lasting spiritual fruit.
Thank you for standing with us in prayer and for your continued partnership in the work of the Gospel. May the Lord continue to use each of us to make His name known!
In Christ's service,
Daniel C. Petruț
PIEI Missionary – Mihalț, Alba County, Romania
