Shalom, beloved brothers and sisters in the Lord!
With God's help, we want to share with you some of the things that God has done with us and through us during the last month.
We were so happy to be able to have a Thanksgiving celebration especially for the children from Mihalţ, the day before we could celebrate it with the whole church. We served pizza together and Teodora surprised us all with the sweets that she had brought back from the States. She didn't carry them for nothing, they were very much worth it! We sang together and prayed that God would help us to always be grateful! The main verse that we've talked about is Proverbs 15:15. We've also had a craft. On a piece of paper, we've painted a tree and each of us received a colored paper leaf on which we've written one reason that we are grateful for and then glued it wherever we wanted on the tree. Most of us wrote about being grateful for our families, for being alive or being healthy. It looked beautiful in the end.
On the following day, when we celebrated Thanksgiving with the whole church, we had the joy to see our church overflown with people. There were people from the village that positively answered to our invitation, there were brothers and sisters from several churches and we ended up having four more pastors with us, so it was a beautiful day filled with God's grace. We wish that the people from the village that came were touched by the Gospel through the Holy Spirit and that we will see them in church again soon.
We still need prayer for the project that I've written to you about, the project with the families. We have the materials so we can start the study, but we don't have the families yet. We want to start this project and for it to be a blessing for the families that will be involved in it.
Let's also continue to pray for the work with the children. We wish to be able to see teenagers arising from among them who will dedicate themselves to the Lord Jesus Christ with all their being.
Sister Ema, about whom I wrote to you before, needs our support in prayer. After brother Beni went to the Lord, Ema decided to stay in Romania, even though her relatives insisted that they would return to Austria.
Thank you so much for your support, we appreciate you in the Lord!
Be blessed!
