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.

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.
