By the Grace of God we have reached the end of November and we must have a satisfied heart that in all things God is in control. When we go through troubles we have some earthly blessings and we have come to the conviction that the closest to God you can be is when you go through certain troubles and trials. So it is that after the trial I went through with getting Covid I came out stronger and I could say I am more Blessed because I saw God's hand at work and I felt the reactions of the saints.
So it is that after coming from the hospital I started to go on a mission through the villages that were waiting for me and I understood that there is my place to be on the mission field- this is my calling. In these times when we have more and more to do with a spirit of fear when younger brothers and sisters avoid coming to meetings in cities for fear of getting sick. HOWEVER, here in these villages of relatives, more and more people come to the Church, though we try to wear a mask and wash our hands as much as possible.
At the same time I would like to announce that at the Tigveni Orphanage a large number were found with Covid and some are hospitalized and others are isolated in bedrooms but I was very happy that although they are isolated they still wanted to hold a meeting every day in the bedrooms. I keep in touch with these girls and they make me more and more happy with the way they tell me about their relationship with God, even if it is in the simplest way. It is true that this is my goal for any soul who hears the word of God to have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus, but when it is necessary to see a practical gospel, so it is that for 24 poor families we give them basic food or clothes when they we have it to give. For example, we received 3 packages of clothes from Sister Maroara Barac, we put them in smaller bags and we distributed them to poor villages and then we prayed for Sister Marioara and her family.
We do the same with food, so no one escapes prayers, not even the PIEI committee Cornel and Gabi Stef, sister Rodica and Alex Popa, ED and DAIANA, Fam. Matthew Scheau, Sister Naomi, etc. who without their service we missionaries can not be effective because you keep in touch between us and our wonderful sponsors.
We pray that our sponsors will be blessed with much wisdom, protected in all respects. I would end with a verse that has done me much good in these times of trial for us Christians.
Hebrews 3:1- Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.
