Evangelism and Thanksgiving in Sohodol and Ponorel

On October 1st, we had a special evangelism and thanksgiving program at the church in Sohodol. The gospel message was powerfully preached by Brother Jula Marinel from Galateni 5:22, emphasizing that our Heavenly Father expects such fruits in each of our lives.

Among the 7 unbelievers present at this evangelism event was Mrs. Mariuta, an unbeliever (a nurse in Sohodol), for whom we, as a church, have been praying for several months. She is bravely battling cancer and going through a very tough time in her life.

On October 15th, we had a special evangelism and Thanksgiving program at the church in Ponorel. The gospel message was preached by Brother Daniel Ghiuzelea from 2 Timothy 2:6. Brother Daniel emphasized that a rich harvest (spiritually) depends on the entire process, starting from sowing and caring throughout the year to the gathering of the harvest.

Mrs. Iulica (one of the 5 unbelievers present) was deeply touched by the gospel message and the exceptional songs that were sung with great joy. I often visit her at her home, and she has many questions about the Bible.

Each gathering, both in Sohodol and Ponorel, ended with a holy fellowship where those present were served with lovingly prepared blessings from our sisters.

Between the two Sundays, there was the wedding of my daughter Ana Maria to Cristian in Timisoara (October 8, 2023), a special occasion of joy and reunion with our extended family.

Prayer Requests:

  • For the new family, Cristian and Ana Maria Hirtauca

  • For Mrs. Mariuta (battling cancer) and her sisters, Elena and Raluca (unbelievers), Sohodol

  • For Mrs. Iulica (unbeliever), Ponorel

  • For the mission point in Brazesti

In the precious name of the Lord Jesus, I send you holy greetings, and I want you to know that you are in our prayers.
