Although there is much to write, I'll choose only a few things that you may share fellowship in my work in the Gospel. On January 3rd, a sister named Daniela went to God. She was the hostess of the assemblies from the village of Oiesti Biserica, where I first heard the Word of God. She had five children, but God is Sovereign; He has claim to each of us as our Redeemer and we are His. Today as I'm writing I received a phone call from the village of Rotunda. Another believer has died at the hospital. I will go there to see what is needed. I know she was poor, and I think I'll have to take care of the funeral and mourning arrangements.

Please support in prayer resuming activity for the orphans that we stopped due to COVID-19. We have decided to meet at the church every Friday from 10 to 12. I take what they need along with the spiritual nourishment of the Word, Songs, and Prayer. In a word, moments of Heaven. I cannot describe their joy on the phone with sister Gabi and sister Rodica! As part of the USA partnership committee they have visited the orphanage program so many times, and poured into orphan hearts many drops of joy.

Other news this month: I was scheduled at Fundeni Hospital for a checkup of my liver transplant. The news is beyond good expectations! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the help you have given both through prayer and financially.

Lastly I would like to say that it is also a joy at 9 pm every night the phone rings to take a medicine. Also at that hour it informs me that I have a meeting at the Throne of Grace with all PIEI missionaries for prayer and fellowship. May the Lord Jesus bless brother Timothy, the new Romanian PIEI Director who proposed this. Now the great joy of this hour of prayer I have proposed in all the churches where I minister and many practice it.

Concluding with Genesis 39:2-3 “The LORD was with Joseph and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand.” I want the same thing and I pray that it will be so for the PIEI committees in Romania and the USA, over the family of Ed and Diana, over the family of Matei Scheau, sister Naomi, sister Mărioara Barac and her children.

In the grace of God,

Traian Chilau, PIEI-Romania Missionary
