As we are looking forward to seeing the unfold of 2023 I would like to encourage you with these words spoken by our wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. Mark 12:30,31
Quick review of 2022
Women's ministry
- we have followed a daily plan to copy scriptures and meditate on them
- had weekly meetings for prayer, bible study and fellowship
- day trip in the mountains
- evangelistic events for other women from the village
- prayers answered for different situations
- each wednesday set aside for prayer and fasting for the salvation of the family members that are not yet saved
2022 finished with a wonderful time at Christmas. Time to have fellowship, cake, presents, games and laughter.
We are so grateful for everyone that kindly and faithfully supported the spreading of the Gospel in the South of Romania. People are encouraged to feel loved and have a sincere desire to grow in their faith to love and serve the Lord even more. All for God's glory.
Children ministry- Little Explorers
- weekly meetings for Bible, fellowship and fun
- Bible contests and prices
- finding ways to keep them interested in coming and leaning from the Bible and bring new children
- learning how to search in the Bible
- not able to have a day out because of lack of transport
2022 finished with a wonderful time at Christmas. We presented a carol singing program, poems and a Christmas story. Over a hundred children were invited to the Christmas program and gifts were given. What a joy !!!
Had a special Christmas lunch, games and gifts for the "little explorers" that came all year round to our weekly program. They felt special, important and loved. May the Lord work salvation in their hearts and in their families. AMen
Business as mission
- 6 years anniversary
- new employees
- women are happy for a place to work where they feel valuable and important
- added one container for storage and one more room for the extension of the workshop
- offered them good eye glasses
- purchased "new" machines to help us be more efficient
- working on growing the business to create more jobs with dignity
Finished the year in good and grateful spirit and a financial bonus.
Each one supporting this ministry has made a huge difference in these women's lives. Three women out of five are main family supporters as their husbands don't have a job because of various reasons.
Family- Mark, Florina, David and Ruben
- had good health just minor "inconveniences"
-Mark traveled to England to visit his family
- Mark, taking turns with preaching at church
-Mark, trip to Ukraine
- enjoyed and been blessed by the visits of guests for us and for the ministry
- David turned 12 and Ruben turned 11
- David and Ruben confess that they gave their life to Jesus
- passed victoriously hard times keeping our eyes on Jesus and upholding the Word of God
Thank you so much for your kind and faithful support in every way. We pray that the Lord will kindly bless you and reward you for the work you do for Him. Please continue to stay alongside us and the ministry for the years to come until we meet the Lord together. Not too far now. Amen!
