December 2009 Update


The highlight for this month was the children's/Christmas eve program this year. The kids have been working on their program for the adults for about a month and were going to be using technology to wow the parents. The older class decided to do a news interview with various figures that surround Christmas. They filmed all of it before the Christmas eve program and then edited the film and showed it at the Christmas eve service. It was really good, what was even funnier was the outtakes that were filmed during the making of the movie. The kids had a great time working on the program this year and the parents really were entertained by the hard work that the kids had put into it.





If you are interested in watching the Christmas program please follow this link, but also understand that its entirely in Romanian.

The message that night was about simple faith verses unbelief and we looked at Zechariah and Mary as a comparison of those two things. We had a lot of new faces and it was good to be able to simply share the gospel with people and the reason why Christmas should be a time of joy.
After the service a group from the church went Christmas caroling in town and down our street. Something that people really like to do here. At this time its not uncommon to receive Christmas carolers at all times of the night, you get used to it. We were also able to really bless the Kids of our association and the parents with gifts boxes that were provided by Lebanon Calvary Chapel. We really thank them for their love and faithfulness is wanting to bless the kids and parents.

We are currently still working on the back of the house. We are finishing up patching the ceiling and the walls and preparing for paint. Our goal is to have one of the rooms completely finished by February so that we can use it for a sunday school room for Church and a game room for young people during the week. Please keep these projects in mind as we seek to repair and renovate the back of the house to better fit our needs.

Prayer Requests:

Pray for the leadership series we started on the 1st Sunday of every month. That God would use it to raise up Godly leaders.

Please be praying for the national conference April 6-9 that God would place on the teacher's hearts the things that he desires for us.

Please also pray that God would be preparing the ground for this summer outreaches into the city.

Pray for Romanian house parents for the kids that are placed with us. That they would be the perfect fit for the children.

Pray for the church to love one another and to reach out to those in the community that don't know Jesus.

We are starting a monthly 3 day prayer and fasting for our city and the church.

Pray for wisdom and vision for Brian in leading the ministries here.

Pray for the funds to purchase the church property we have $7100 dollars so far towards the down payment.

Please also be praying about finding a roofer that would be able to repair some big leaks that we have in the house.

Mitica one of the men in our fellowship lost his job recently and needs to find work.

Also pray for Andrea, a new lady I met last night. She is a friend of one of the ladies that comes to our church and her boyfriend has left her after living together for 1 year. She is very devastated. She is not a believer. We prayed with her last night. She really needs the Lord.

October 2009 Update


This month we celebrated the baptism's of two new ladies to the church. Both Cornelia and Maria have been coming to the church for about 2 months. Cornelia was the mother of one of the tutor's for Lavinia's math over the summer and we invited them to church. During the service Brian felt like the Lord directed him to talk with her about salvation but missed her because they left so quickly after service. But by God's providence Cornelia come to the prayer meeting that night and we were able to talk with her about Jesus and what it means to accept him as your savior. She received Jesus that night and started regularly attending church and the midweek study.

Maria has been saved for about 2 years, she received Jesus at a conference in Bucharest, but could never find a church where she felt at home. Until one weekend a lady who attends our church invited her to our church for the picnic in August. She had a lot questions about different things that no one had every really been able to answer to her satisfaction. During the picnic she started in with her questions. The second thing that she observed was how everyone was just normal and real and seemed to really love one another. She also started attending the midweek studies.
a few weeks ago Brian received a phone call from a friend of hers who asked if she could talk to him about being water baptized as soon as possible. Brian met with her that Saturday and talked with her about what water baptism is and what it means. The next morning after service we brought the church into our house and filled the bath tub up and baptized her right there.

The next week Brian received another phone call and Cornelia wanted to be baptized on Sunday as
well. So we filled the tub and had the church crowd into our house and baptized Cornelia as well. It's so exciting to see both of these women responding to the Holy Spirit and wanting to be obedient to the Lord and his wishes. Please keep their families in prayer because none of them are saved. Pray that God would use these ladies as examples of Christ's love to their families.

Prayer Requests:

Please pray for the upcoming conference on the Evangelism being hosted by Calvary Chapel
Bistrita

Please pray for the Lord to protect and strengthen the marriages in our church and with the leadership

Please pray for the Lord to provide House parents for the Romanian children that are placed with the missionaries

Pray for Wisdom and Grace for Brian and Cynthia is raising our family and leading the ministry here.
