Grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
I thank God for all the brothers and sisters with whom, through these letters, we have the opportunity to share our experiences in the mission field. My name is Sfetcu Florin Iulian, and together with my wife Alina and the five children God has given us, we serve in the town of Beciu in Teleorman County.
Since 2016, the year we started spreading the Gospel in Beciu and its surroundings, we have had several objectives to fulfill the vision given by God. One of these objectives was working with children. We were the first in the town to do something for children without expecting anything in return. From various games, Bible lessons, workshops, skits, puppet theater, and camps, to involving children in playing different roles of Bible characters. At first, there were a few children, but with each meeting, their number continued to grow, and we often reached between forty and fifty children. This work sparked the curiosity of many parents who came with their children to see what was happening, and thus God allowed us to share the Gospel with them.
Unfortunately, over time, due to the pressure from the Orthodox priest, the number of children decreased (to a maximum of thirty-five children), but we did not give up. We continue to work and pray for these children and their families, knowing that this work belongs to the Lord, and He who begins it will bring it to completion. We thank God that in 2021, the Darwel family, Mark, and Florina, joined us, and together with their children David and Ruben, they made the mission work even more effective. Sister Florina helps us in working with children and sisters, and Mark in preaching the Word. We invite you to pray with us for this objective, for the number of children to increase, and for us to be even more effective in the overall mission work. May God bless and reward you for all that you do!
