A Civic Marriage in a Church Building

Through the grace of God autumn has come. Looking back we see the good hand of God who leads and protects us every day. It’s difficult to give a detailed report, but Holy Spirit will give help. 

As an example, one dayI was invited to a wedding of a young man who united his destiny with a young Christian lady. For the first time the civil and religious marriage was officiated in the church. City officials from City Hall came to the church. There were over 120 guests in the church, and people from the City Hall were very impressed.

On a Sunday I was invited to Pitesti to the Evangelical Church in the city. After the  morning service, I immediately went to the village of Malureni for a funeral of a 78-year old brother.. In the evening I came back to the Evangelical Church in the city where I  officiated over communion. On Friday we will have a day of fasting with the whole church because it is the last Friday of the month. 

I go to the local church in Tigveni where the girls from the orphanage come for church. We enjoy the fellowship that God gives us. Once a week I visit the villages of the gypsies in  Rotunda and Valea–Dumiresti. When I have clothes and food, I give to the poor families. I have seen that the Gospel can go forward when one takes care for the needs of those around you. 

Last night I talked to brother Timothy who had good news! In October sister Rodica and brother Alex will visit me for two days. Also, another two days brother Cornel and wife Gabi will come together with a small team. We will have meetings with women and meetings with men including Christian businessmen. 

I will highlight these events in another report.
