Our dear brothers and sisters in the Lord,
We want to use this opportunity to share with you some thoughts about the things that have been happening lately in the mission field where we serve with God’s help.
We are very thankful to the Lord that after spending the last 4 months in the United States at her summer work program, our daughter Teodora, has returned home safely. We are also very thankful for the brothers and sisters that have supported her in prayer, warmly welcomed her into their homes at the end of her program or helped her see the beauty of God’s creation in every little thing and enjoy every place that she’s been to.
With God's help, we kept meeting with the children. In the first meeting, we tried to concentrate on a summary of what they had learned this summer at the VBS about Joseph. In the second meeting, the theme was “Friendship: how we choose our friends and who is our best friend.”
With God’s help, we want to be the first to practice living our lives the way we are teaching others to live theirs and together, to serve the Lord with everything that we do everyday. For the most part of the month we have been visiting brothers and sisters in need and trying to help them out, to bring comfort to those going through trials and tribulations, to be with those that need our support. This month, I had a harder time doing this after receiving some sad news. A faithful and close friend, a brother in Christ named Beni has gone to the Lord. He was only 38 years old and left behind a young widow and 5 children.
We want, with God's help, to start a new project this Autumn and approach the Friday meetings with the families from a different perspective. The theme that we want to address refers to harmony within the family.
Reasons for prayer:
1. For work with children
2. For the meeting with the families
3. For the churches where we serve: Mihalt, Craciunelu de Jos, Bucerdea Granoasa
4. For Ema, Beni's widow and for her 5 children
