Praise reports:
- God was merciful with us and blessed us with better car. We are thankful to Him, but also to all of those who kept us in prayer and allowed God to use them in blessing our ministry.
- We had seen His grace in the life of the three gypsy men from Calatele. Most of the people who knew them didn’t believe they can be changed, but God proved once again that He is the one that changes them and sustains them by His grace.
- We are praising God for the body of believers from Sacuieu, who continue to join our fellowship on regular basics, especially for the oldest ladies from the village, Lina, Lucretia and Marioara, who every time encourages us with their joy and their presence.
- We are thanking the Lord for Down, our sister form Arizona, who came and joined us this fall and would be with us also for the month of December. She is helping us with the children ministry, teaching the children bible studies in Romanian. The children love her. She also developed good relationships with the gypsy ladies, and with some of them really good friendships. Her presence here was indeed a blessing for us and for the ministry.
Prayer requests:
· We are currently meeting in Sacuieu in the home of an elderly couple, Lucretia and Florea. They allowed us also to do the children ministry in their yard, their home is not quit open for the children. The children are so excited to come and sing praises to the Lord and to learn more about Jesus. We see the openness of the children and understand they are an important focus of our ministry, but as the winter is coming it became harder every time to have out there the children’s Bible Study. Please pray that the Lord would provide a church building for our ministry, a warm place where the children may come to worship the Lord.
· Please pray that the believers from both villages would grow in their knowledge of God, and that they would become mature believers who would be able to lead their own people to the Lord.
· We realized that love is what draws people to the Lord, that’s why our prayer is to be filled with more love and compassion for the people we minister to, and that it would make them see more of Christ in us.
· For the last three years we were blessed with the Christmas boxes from the Samaritan Purse for the children in both villages. This year we were told that we won’t be able to receive them. The children started to ask us if they would get the gifts this Christmas (this gifts are the only gifts they receive). We could only tell them to pray and ask the Lord to provide. We are hoping and praying to be able to buy the least some oranges and candies for the 250 children and old people from both villages. Please pray with us that these children and old people would be blessed, and as the Lord would provide the finances, that we would get good deals in the stores.
