Through the Grace of God, I would wholeheartedly like to share some of what God does through my ministry. As always, it's hard to summarize the events that happened in a month. However, at the suggestion of Brother Timotei, National Director of PIEI, to mention events from the beginning of the year, I would like to mention that God helped us start discipleship courses at the beginning of 2023, which we have not yet completed. But we rejoice each time and aim to grow together in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. The purpose of going through these 10 steps (courses) is to produce capable workers for every good work. From the beginning, we must understand that we need to work in teams according to the gifts we receive from God. In short, I would mention a joy, namely Brother Timotei's visit this month, who got involved in the 2 places where we went, Rotunda and Oiesti, in the school program, maintaining an atmosphere through questions posed to the students and forming a constructive and pleasant dialogue. I would also mention the program at the Church in Tigveni where the girls from the Orphanage are active; here, we aim to grow in a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus and to do missions within the Orphanage. This is our goal in all mission points: to all have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus. Occupying ourselves with Him, with the treasures hidden in Him, we are freed from the snares of the Enemy. We thanked the Lord Jesus for the fellowship in Alba-Iulia and prayed for the organizers who made us feel good. May the Lord Jesus reward them! I would mention Jenu, who told us how God worked in his life. Mike and Alis served us meals. If I were asked what I took away from there, I would answer with the verse Hebrews 10:24 "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works." A practical help is prayer; we all need to mention each other by name before the Throne of Grace. There, we also bring our beloved sponsors, and I would mention the PIEI committees from Romania and the USA (Brother Cornel and Gabi Stef, who now need prayer the most through the difficult surgery Brother Gabi underwent, and Brother Cornel is undergoing I do with my wife to serve her. Sister Rodica and Brother Alex who labor for us to maintain our sponsors as best they can, for Ed and Didy, I think they are determined not to give up until we reach the Throne of reward. Sister Mărioara Barac called me to say she sent me 3 packages and they will arrive by Easter, I also talked on the phone with Brother Matei Scheau and prayed for both him and Sister Naomi with Joy. And at the right time, He will give us the appropriate reward. Amen. I would conclude with Hebrews 10:22 "Let us draw near... with a true heart in full assurance of faith..." because we have a Great High Priest. In the Grace of God.
