“My tongue shall speak of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteousness. Let your hand become my help, for I have chosen Your percepts.”

                                                Psalm 119:172,173

This past month the Lord showed us His great mercy and grace by keeping us in His hands and choosing to continue to bless us with his love. It has been a quiet month for us, which helped us to focus on our daily ministry.

We have been so blessed to see how the Lord is working in Fery’s life (our new gypsy brother) as he is seeking to do God’s will in his life. We are happy to see how the Lord put on his heart the desire to bring all his gypsy relatives and friends to Jesus, and to see how the God changed his gypsy culture habits as teaching him that he is the one that has to work to provide for his family and not only his wife, teaching him to be a loving father for his children and a good husband. Our joy is also so great when we hear other gypsy men expressing their appreciation for Fery’s changed life and the desire to follow him.

Few weeks one of the worst gypsy man from the gypsy community came out of the prison after seven years for murder attempting, and the custom is that everyone will have a party for him at their house, but our surprise was great hearing that he didn’t go to any of them, but he started to go with Fery and us to all the places we went, to all the church services, prayer meetings and also he refused all the alcohol he was offered. His name is Contele, and please pray for him that he would give his life completely to Jesus.  He has expressed the desire of going together with us to the prison where he was to preach the gospel to his friends there.

Last weekend I had the opportunity of joining The Detailed Gospel Message Seminary for the young disciples organized by other Romanian Calvary Chapels in Bistrita, and I have been able to take with me three other gypsy and Romanian men. It was a great blessing for all four of us to be there and to have fellowship with other brothers and sisters from Romania.

Our confidence is that God will continue His work in the life of these gypsies, and our prayer is that He would still grant us the joy of being a part of His plan here, and give us the ability to do His will.

In his grace,

Nicu Hagiu
