The blessing of a little Miriam

Dear brothers and sisters, we greet you with the love and peace of Jesus Christ. Thank God for having an auspicious time when, together with the church, we had wonderful fellowship.

1.One young family brought, in the house of prayer, for blessing their little daughter named Miriam, where we prayed for her and handed her in the hands of the Lord. Our children had a beautiful program of congratulations for this family.

In May, we celebrated the Feast of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, where, together with the church, we had a rich program for children, teenagers, youth and our choir. It makes us very happy that unbelievers who listened to the Word of God were at these evangelizations. The Lord touched their hearts.

Once again, I thank you dear brothers and sisters from the USA for praying for us and helping us with finances. We also pray for you and entrust you in the hands of the Almighty God, so that He will always take care of you in your needs.

With great respect and love, your brother in Christ, Gortopan Mihai.

2. Together with the church, we are now studying the Epistles of the Apostle Paul to the Galatians. This is a beautiful Epistle where Apostle Paul teaches us how to resist the arrows of the evil one that are directed at the Church of Christ and so that we do not add anything to the Grace of God.
