Blessings from the Father of the Heavenly Lights!
Is time a friend or an enemy? It depends on how we use it. However time passes for me, it must also acquire the status of “a friend.” So I seek to use time to obey the Lord, to serve others in good deeds, and to grow my spiritual maturity.
I completed a study, called Stepping Up, which focuses on being God’s men. As a small group of men we discussed the themes of the study as well as the way we see and do things in our lives. Toma Costel led the study. Brothers Bruda Dumitru/Bebe, Nechilciuc Catalin, Stancu Ionel, Timothei Stinea (my son) and myself comprised the small group.
In the service for others we were able to help complete the construction of the prayer place in Geoagiu. Last Sunday the building was dedicated. Also, ICM provided a significant financial contribution. I encouraged the church to focus not on earthly things but on heavenly things.
“Therefore, we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.” -Hebrews 2:1
Although we participated in the construction, we remember that He who builds all things is GOD. He deserves all our worship and service!
Prayer Requests:
That we learn godly truth to be applied in everyone's life.
That my brothers and I grow spiritually, becoming "patriarchs" according to the ways of the Stepping Up study.
That we be protected from evil.
That the gypsy brothers of Geoagiu to be a godly testimony for their community; and that the work of the Gospel advance among them.
That PIEI’s mission in Romania have a strong, spiritual impact; that missionaries seize their time to spread the Gospel and make disciples.
Please pray for Romania. Thank you for your support. God bless you!
