Blessings!
Here we are into the new year: one year older, perhaps wiser, more experienced, more spiritually mature, and certainly closer to meeting our Lord whom we are waiting to return as He promised!
I fulfilled my desire to visit again before the end of the year all my brothers in Christ, servants of the Lord, and our PIEI missionaries in their locations. I just recently returned. I found them doing well, busy spreading the Gospel, doing the work of discipleship and church planting. Each one faithfully serving, striving to be in the will of God, but also facing many challenges, especially in these times.
First, I challenged them with our PIEI vision of discipleship, and distributed literature and study materials focusing on the Holy Scripture. Second, I encouraged all to know each other and care for each other for the purpose of building our relationships with each other as well as unity in ministry.
All our missionaries are eager to see progress in their efforts, to see people coming to the Lord. They were also happy and encouraged by Christmas gifts (some from Romania and some from the USA) from those who care and remember them and their families.
I personally feel a sense of accomplishment and joy as well as peace. I am trusting that the work of evangelism goes forward and will reach many people. I see there are still men and women who have a passion for the Lord, for reaching lost people with the Gospel, and among them are our PIEI missionaries in Romania.
Prayer Requests:
• For our families, our churches and the places where we serve.
• For those who have heard the Gospel, that they would receive the Lord and dedicate their lives to Him.
• For a year of peace and freedom of faith.
Blessings to you all!
