Forgiveness Leads to Freedom

When the love and forgiveness of God touches hearts, you can see it.  The forgiveness of God brings healing and restoration in human relationships.

Pansela and Daniela are sister-in-laws from Beciu.  Due to some past unpleasantness, they fought and stopped talking to each other for a year.  Six weeks ago I had the opportunity to speak with them, showing them the love and forgiveness available to them through the Word of God.  I explained how God forgave mankind and saved us through the sacrifice of His son Jesus Christ. They both received Christ as their Lord and Savior.  Realizing how God forgave their sins and paid their penalty through Jesus Christ, they accepted that it was their duty to forgive each other. This forgiveness brought freedom, restoration, and joy back into their relationship.  Pray that even these women’s husbands will be convicted by God so that they too can accept Jesus Christ in their lives.

One year ago, not one person wanted to come to church in Dragonesti, but in the last two month God has called twelve new followers to be the core of the church.  Those people have created a dedicated small group. Pray that God protects them from the evil one, who does not hesitate to attack the faithful. Pray that God gives them the power to overcome the ridicule of others in the village, who mock them because of their faith in Christ.

We invite you to pray for us, for God to give us wisdom in order to present the Gospel to those in the village in a way they can understand and relate to.

From Darkness to Light

Meet Costel, a man who once had a normal life like any other person. However, eleven years ago he committed a crime that cost him his freedom and landed him in prison where he spent eleven years of his life. Today he is a free man, but the time in prison took a toll on him physically, mentally, and socially. He has a poor eye sight, he developed heart problems, and often has migraine headaches.

The good news is that in the penitentiary he met people that spoke about the SAVIOR that can wipe away all our sin. Every time he was around these Christian people he felt accepted by them and was drawn by the peace that they had, a peace that was above everything else in the whole world. By being with them he felt a bit of that peace also. After he was released from prison I got to know him a little bit and I am hoping that this will be a beginning of new relationship toward a relationship much greater than the one with me, a personal relationship with Christ.

12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12


Pray that God will bring His light into his life and become a light in his village to others, and even heal him physically.

Pray that we as a family, my wife Alina and I, are the light for the people around us. I know that He sent us here to make a difference in the life of others so they can come to a relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ.

With Love

Evangelistic Events in Beciu

We are glad to see that God works in Beciu through us. This mission started to get amplitude by the fact that Holy Spirit began to seek the hearts of the people and they become aware of the truth of the scriptures.

Gifts for 120 Children

We were very happy this month because we managed  to help socially and spiritually over 20 people.

With God's help, we were able to offer gifts to 120 children from school and  kindergarten. We thank all those who were willing to help us. We still need support in prayer and we want to thank to all who are already doing this.  May God bless and reward you!

I want to let you know about a five-year-old girl situation. She needs your prayers. She has headache and leg pains from the age of one year. Her grandmother took her to Bucharest, but the doctors  didn't find anything. They said she is  healthy and that she had no problem. The girl's name is Maria. Pray that God will heal her!

Pray for Beciu

I want to share with you the way in which our missionary activity took place during October. This month we continued evangelizing on the streets, visiting and working with the children. We met a new family and we were so happy when they listened carefully when we told them  about the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We pray for this family and our desire for them is to accept our Lord Jesus Christ as a personal Savior. We also continue to pray for the children of Beciu and for the inhabitants of this locality.

Thank you very much for your support in prayer and please continue to pray for our ministry.

 

Be blessed!
