Tomorrow I must go to Corbeni for a funeral. Every time I stand before God I pray that He opens his heart, and that the saving faith of God's gift is born.

Today I had a meeting with the girls from the orphanage, and we were able to nearly finish the curriculum. I am very happy that some participated with sister GABI Ștef in the “Masterpiece” Bible study. Today we prayed for a summer camp, if it will be God's will.

In the villages of Rotunda and Valea-Dumiresti as well as in Tigveni through the grace of God we made a few disciples at Rotunda, but here too we see a hope to pray for available Christians. I really like how we are helped by Brother Timothy, even if we are at a distance, because he keeps us connected to practical, useful topics that make us think more deeply. So we pray that God will bless him.

In terms of health, I am fine so far and my wife is happy with the way God works. I would also like to say that the fellowship by phone is also a blessing. I recently spoke with brother Cornel Ștef and also with sister Rodica Popa. This makes us very encouraged when we see that they care about us missionaries practically, making us even more responsible and giving us wings. So we pray and we bring them to the Throne of Grace every night. It's easy for me because my phone rings to remind me to take my medicine, and so I retire to a room to pray. What a blessing to have the privilege to bring them all to the Throne of Grace. So I don't forget them (because there are so many) I have written names in a notebook. And I pray not only for the PIEI Committee in Romania and the USA, but also for our wonderful sponsors who so far have not let us down.

God the Father knows what we need: we pray for health for the whole family, and I think of Ed and Diana, the sister Barac and the large family, Matei Scheau and sister Naomi. Even if I don't know them all I pray for them with all my love. AMEN!

I conclude with a phrase that has done me much good: IN THE GRACE OF GOD
