Be blessed,
After several years, due to the pandemic, the Baptist Church in the town of Victoria has once again had the pleasant experience of organizing a VBS (Vacation Bible School). With the support of the PIE Association, a team from England, and of course, the involvement of brothers and sisters, we have successfully concluded the five days of work with children from Victoria and the neighboring town of Lisa.
The theme of the week was "God is wow", which we interpreted as "God is amazing". Once again, the children were able to hear the Word, participate in workshops, act out Bible characters, sing, pray, and, of course, they were extremely excited to be the winners in the sports competitions they took part in. It was a pleasure and joy that we managed to serve them meals, a task that the sisters of the church handled excellently!
We understand from the Holy Word that if you "teach a child the way he should go, even when he is old, he will not depart from it." So, we have sown a seed with the confidence that one day, even if it's years from now, it will sprout and bear fruit. Even though their attendance was not consistent, their numbers increased from day to day, reaching 55 participants.
We are thankful to the Lord for this work, and also to the parents who understood and allowed their children to take part in this VBS. We pray and encourage you, those who are reading these lines, to pray to the Lord that the seed of Truth may bear fruit in the lives of these children.
Pray that the Lord may protect them from the lies of the evil one and that their lives may remain pure, unblemished by the impurities of today's world. Pray also for us not to lose sight of the fact that the Gospel must be proclaimed to every creature, including children.
Pray for the blessing of PIE, that they may make the work with children a priority in our ministry. Thanks be to God for any support, both in prayer and material, from both the PIE Association and the donors. We also want to thank the Life 2 Romania Association, who worked "hard" alongside us to make this wonderful and fruitful work possible.
Give thanks to the Lord for the team of sisters who sacrificed their time, generosity, and service to the Lord and all of us. Remember us for good, O God!
May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you!
