By the Grace of God, here we are at the end of October and autumn. First of all, I would like to mention that both my wife and I celebrated our birthdays this month, and we thanked God that He has helped us up to this point.
I would like to begin this update with the Joy that our brothers and sisters in Alba Iulia prepared for us at the meeting we had with the PIEI missionaries. (Partners In Evangelism International) I have called this fraternal fellowship "Fellowship From Heart To Heart". In a word, we felt "Blessed". Everyone went out of their way to serve us. I would mention Mike along with his wife Alis, Jenu with his wife Violeta, sister Rodica with her husband Alex, brother Timotei, brother Cornel, Stef from the United States, and others.
It was as if we were royalty; we can only thank them from the bottom of our hearts, and may the Lord Jesus reward them as He sees fit. How national PIEI National Director Timotei, along with brother Cornel Ștef and the Popa family, maintained this atmosphere made it more of the heart than theological.
A few words about the places where I serve: Weekly, we meet at the Church in Tigveni with the girls from the Orphanage, and we have Bible study and prayer. A joy that I would like to mention is that Gabi Stoica brought a girl from the Orphanage for the first time, and she received the Lord Jesus! A cause for great joy both here and in heaven. She never leaves empty-handed.
Then, in the Roma villages of Valea Uiasca, Valea Dumiresti, and Rotunda, I strive to bring them into a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus! And the good news is that every week at the Evangelical Church in Oiesti, we have a Discipleship Bible School! From several villages, every Thursday at 5:30 PM, we meet and go through the courses that brother Timotei brought me, and we have reached step 5 out of 10. Their purpose is to train workers for service. I felt the need to contribute with gasoline for their transportation.
I would like to show one more thing, and with this, I will conclude. Every evening at 9 PM, I bring you all in prayer to the Throne of Grace, everyone who has been involved with us in this beautiful work of proclaiming the Gospel and growing the Kingdom of God. I would mention the PIEI committees in Romania and the USA, the Ed and Didi family, the Matei Scheau family and sister Naomi, sister Mărioara Barac, and all the missionaries wherever God places them.
I would conclude with a word of relevance: Revelation 22:12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.”
