I can say "with God's help" because the answer always comes from Him!
I wanted to spend some time with the family of my brother Gabi Cuc, a PIE missionary, with the Church in Caciulatesti, as well as to visit his work area.
My wish came true at the end of August, when I stayed for three days in the house of brother Gabi and sister Vera. We rejoiced together, we prayed, and we discussed a lot of things from the Holy Scripture. We debated a lot of biblical topics concerning mission work, but also aspects related to the smooth running of the Church.
Our time together extended to the Church of the Lord of Caciulatesti. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we looked at the Scriptures to see and understand the way in which God works and makes His presence known in our lives.
We rejoiced and thanked the Lord for his mercy manifested not only when he saved us, but also every day.
I looked closely at the Lord and I saw his beauty, a beauty that is not in an image, but in the nature of his character. He himself talks about this in Exodus 34: "The Lord God is a God full of mercy and grace..."
His mercy was also manifested towards sister Maria from Rotunda who, on Sunday morning, came full of emotions and confessed with joy her faith in the Lord Jesus and was baptized.
On the occasion of the visit to sister Maria, I listened to her testimony. I was very happy to hear how the Lord transformed her life, changing her into a completely new person, totally different from the one before her repentance and faith. A new life! What wonderful things God does with those who return to Him, with humility!
Seeing a donkey tied, I remembered the Lord Jesus and the moment of his entry into Jerusalem, the exact fulfillment of the Bible prophecy. I wanted to immortalize the thought and took a picture and sent it to Popa Alexandru and his wife Rodica, accompanied by a short message "an old car"!
The answer was: "keep and use the old car"!
I thanked God for my enlightenment of his word and for its effect in my life. It was like a balm poured over my heart! I am not riding a donkey, but I am walking and following the King.
Prayer Requests:
Pray that the Spirit of the Lord will help the Church in Caciulatesti, to be daily aware of the Lord's Presence.
Pray that the Cuc family will be a blessing for the place where God has placed them.
Pray that all those who have heard the Gospel will open their hearts for the Lord Jesus.
Pray that in the town of Rotunda the testimony of the faithful will be good!
Thank you to those who intercede for the PIE missionaries and for the mission they carry out in Romania.
