Only by the Grace of God can I write to you this month. I believe everyone recognizes that we live in unprecedented times. Christian churches around the world are closed, and I mean buildings not people.
As I write this I don't have to stay at home because of the restrictions. The situation in Romania is better and we can move freely in the villages, and we can make church programs outdoors. This is a beginning, and we can be thankful that God is our Father, and that He is in control in of all things.
I would like to briefly report some of my activities this month. Despite the restrictions I tried to keep in touch by phone with the mission points. One of the joys that God has given me is the girls at the Tigveni Orphanage continued inside the orphanage to meet for prayer, songs and God’s Word. When the weather was right, they organized outdoor church programs. Isn't that an occasion for joy?
In the Roma villages it’s a bit harder now because people could not go to work, almost everything was closed. We tried to help the 20 families who come to church. I don't know what will happen next. It’s difficult for them, but we look to their daily needs and try to help them.
For now, if the law allows, we will try to organize church programs outside. Sunday at Cartea de Arges was the first day we gathered outside and it was great grace. We were all happy renewing our fellowship; we gathered in the morning and in the evening.
Again I tell you that every day you are in my prayers, the PIEI Committee in Romania and the USA, for the Ed and Diana family, sister Marioara Barac, Matei Scheau and sister Naomi, etc.
Please pray for us that God will open new doors for the Word, and for all that is necessary and is according to His Will.
Traian Chilau - PIEI Missionary
