Day 6 Romania 2011

Today was a great we saw 110 people today. It was a great day in The Secuiani area it's was the first time for The missionaries to be in this area. In one of the groups their were elders from the orthodox church the translator said they were very attentive and interested in what I was sharing.

Heather shared the gospel with two groups as well I was so proud of her.

Dana and the other group went to the Gypsie village down the road it was very unruling. The seed was planted. The local pastors hope to start a church in that area in the future, we had to gain permission from the mayor and this was huge.The rain was not too bad people still came out.

The picture is in the school where we were sharing the gospel.

Day 5 Romania 2011

Today was a little different than before we split Thr team up into two teams. Me and Heather helped the Mississippi team and Dana went with our team to another village.

Our team started out here in Bacu and the pastor of rge church went out of town on emergency and The person he asked to fill in didnt show. Due to the leader not being there not many showed up. All the people that came through were members of the church we were working from, so I simple encourage them to be the great commission. Also the kids colored the bags that out students worked on that was cool to see that just a week ago in Thr refuge we worked on them and to see the kids get them was great.

After lunch we went to Rocovo it was a Gypsie village we saw about 35 people there. I shared the gospel message and when I asked them to stand to make a decision they all stood, I realized that they all knew Christ so I continued to tell them and encourage them to share their faith. The people were all
Members if the church we were working from.

The country here is deeply rooted In the orthodox so alot of them have knowledge of Christ but not a relationship with Christ. Some of the locals said the reason that a lot of people are not coming out is due to the weather. Please pray this rain away. Thank you who all are praying.

Dumnezeu să vă binecuvânteze

This morning we had the opportunity to go to the Roman Baptist Church in Roman. I was able to preach and Dana and Heather sang and shared their testimonies. It was a congregation of about 40. They were very discipled the service was about 3 hrs with a time of studying scripture a hour of prayer and 1 hour for worship and message. This was mostly a Romania church some Gypsies came in the service and once found out we weren't giving anything away today they left. We are learning the alot of the Gypsies are rude,thieves, beggars and don't like to work. The Romanian people are insulted by them alot of race takes place between the two groups.

In the evening we went to the Gypsie church here in Bacu. It was a awesome service and long about 3 and a half hours. The music was beautiful accordion, violin and piano. We had two sermons me and Bro. Bob shared and a lady from the group named Pam shared her testimony.

Tomorrow we begin the medical and children ministries alot of people will come for that but before they receive anything
they will hear the gospel. I am first to share the gospel tomorrow I am real excited please pray for Thd hearts of the gypsies To be receptive.

I was telling some on the team today that yes the Gypsies seem to be people that are selfish and can come across as not liked but you know if Those are the ones Jesus would go after the most.

Thank you for your prayers

Today was our free day and we went to Catalina Island. We had the chance to snorkel and swim. To end the evening we went to the church here in Juan Dolio and helped with the youth service. Jordan and Cody shared there testimonies, they did a amazing job. The group did two of the vbs songs and we played games with the youth. It was encouraging to see the youth service taking place this was a great opportunity to get the youth off the streets on a Friday night.

Dr Day 3

Today was another amazing day of ministry, with no rain, Praise God and thank you for your prayers. We started off going to the Jumbo to buy groceries. We were able to feed 40 families in a Haitian village called La Tanques. I was able to share the gospel and Linda shared the Bible story with the children and did a amazing job. The kids loved the vbs songs.

We also were able to give the dresses and tshirts away today, the little girls loved the dresses. I wish all of the WOM team could see their faces,i have a pic of some of them. Our team is so thankful to all of those who spent evening sowing to make them available. 

After Lunch today we went to a village and set up at a little school to distribute water filters, we were able to give 50 away. We broke them up into two groups and shared the gospel with them, some hands went up. One thing that we have noticed here is that eternal security is a battle with the people. Kim shared the story of the woman that washed Jesus' feet, she did a great job. We were not able to give the dresses out at this area due to so many kids.
