I thank the Lord that throughout the year 2025 I was blessed with health, protection, wisdom, and guidance in the work of ministry. I trust that in the new year 2026, which we have entered, He will continue to carry me in His hands.
In December, we organized a Christmas carol concert at the Cultural Center in Ighiu, with the approval of the local Town Hall. We invited the Rays of Light group. I was deeply encouraged by the presence of the Mayor and Vice Mayor, along with other staff members from the Town Hall. They were deeply moved—many to tears—by the beautiful songs about the birth of the Lord. People attended from Bucerdea Vinoasă, Țelna, Ighiu, and Ighiel. After the carols, they also listened to a biblical message about the purpose of the incarnation of the Lord Jesus.
We visited the school in Țelna, where we spoke to the children and teachers about “The Greatest Gift” — the Lord Jesus, and distributed gifts.
We also held programs with the children who attend Bible School, as well as celebrations at the churches in Țelna and Bucerdea Vinoasă for the birth of the Lord Jesus.
At the turn of the year, we enjoyed a very special time of fellowship with the brothers and sisters in Bucerdea Vinoasă, in prayer, the Word, and then around the table.
I pray that in the New Year 2026, God will bless the PIEI committees in Romania and the United States, as well as every PIEI missionary, along with their families, churches, and the mission points where we serve.
I am grateful to all those who stand with me in prayer and financial support.
Needs and Prayer Requests:
• For the unsaved who attended the Christmas carol concert, that the Holy Spirit would work in their hearts.
• For the children at the school in Țelna, that they would desire to follow the Lord Jesus.
• For the children attending Bible School, that they would remain faithful and consistent in their studies this year.
May God bless you!
