As always, I find it difficult to choose the events of this month or to say a little about each one. If we were to refer to the word of God- CRY WITH THOSE WHO CRY AND JOY WITH THOSE WHO JOY.

Today as I write these words I received news that another believer has gone to meet the Lord. They lived close to me in the block of flats where I have lived for 61 years. But we are aware that our last breath is not in the hands of man, because sooner or later we will all move to ETERNITY. I want with all my heart to see all the souls we have proclaimed the Gospel to in heaven some day. At the same time here on earth we are partners in winning souls for heaven. I am thinking also of our sponsors, who support us both financially and in prayer, through the PIE committee in the USA and ROMANIA.

Gabriela Ștef has organized a virtual Bible Study for our SISTERS every week. The sisters heard that it is the course of Sister Mandi Cornett, who visited in our city during a short-term mission trip and left a good testimony. This is the reason why so many sisters enrolled in the Bible study.

A second event this month is that I received a visit from the new Director of PIEI Timotei Stinea. I was very happy with the visit. It matched what I had in my heart. The whole discussion was focused on 3 directions: What I have done, what I am doing now, and what I would like to do in the future? Of course, in all ways God's help is needed through HIS HOLY SPIRIT. I confess that it was a blessing and I can't wait to work on it in the future. I would also like to say that both in the orphanage and in the villages I can see the good hand of God.

In conclusion, I would like to say that EVERY evening at 9 pm together with all the missionaries we are on our knees. We bring to the Throne of Grace all those who support us in all respects. I would like to mention the PIEI Committee in Romania and USA and these sponsors: ED and DAIANA, Matei Scheau and Naomi, as well as sister Mărioara Barac who sends me packages of clothes. I thank everyone and pray for your reward in heaven.

I end with a verse that did me a lot of good. Hosea 6: 3- Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD!

In the GRACE of God,

Traian Chilau, PIEI-Romania Missionary
