18 October
How would I ever succeed to compensate or show you how much I appreciate what you do? How could I ever reward your effort of waking up every morning, whether you are in a good mood or not, to go to your jobs, in order to support yourselves and your families, but also to give a part of the reward of your work to a missionary that shares the Gospel where God has entrusted her?
I desire to appreciate this effort – taking part in the advancement of the Gospel, reaping the fruits with me.
Without your involvement, without your prayers, without your encouragement and without your financial effort, in which you give monthly… I wouldn’t succeed in advancing (the Kingdom).
You are very important to me, but more importantly for His work.
I wouldn’t succeed at work and at the same time to be as efficient in what I do… your involvement is vital!
I thank you for your love and respect through the fact that you work alongside me – each one doing their part.
I love you and thank you!
As you have already become accustomed to me, I would like to briefly present what I did in the last 3 months (July, August and September) with the help of God.
Evangelism
Together with those who were with me doing street evangelism (short-term teams from Romania and outside of Romania), I was able to share the Gospel with 207 people and 60 children. Likewise, I shared literature and material goods to over 300 people.
Discipleship
From the mixed discipleship group (men and women), the group that functioned and continued throughout the year, 3 people finished 3 study books and went with me a countless number of times in evangelism – testifying about the Lord.
Following a woman’s event where I was able to invite my friends, a women’s discipleship group was formed where we have been studying, “The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren.
By the end of October, my desire is for us to be 10 women who study together.
In the winter months, I desire to individually meet with my other friends I have here in Craiova, with the purpose of sharing the Gospel with them.
Teaching the course and practicing in the field – how to share faith within E2E, as well as a team of World Race, short-term teams, who followed me in learning how I do evangelism and invitations.
English Club – I continued to serve the community from Craiova, helping them learn the English language; I have also had the happy occasion of sharing the Gospel.
Evangelism and service in Roma communities – together with Raul, World Race, church members and other people who came here in ministry, I visited 3 Roma communities and we gave them food or clothes, and I shared the Gospel with them.
Prayer Requests:
- I want to start Bible Study with 4 non-Christian women weekly.
I need $150 monthly for coffee or food…they would not come to my place or to Hope church for the Bible Study. - By God’s grace in the month of December, my desire is to hold two big events for 20-25 non-Christian women.
a) For the first event we will make ornaments for Christmas, have carols, listen to a sermon about our Lord Jesus, and have fellowship while we eat snacks.
b)The second time when we meet will have 2 christian ladies talking about their life with God, carols, and I will close with a speech about our savior Jesus. We will have all of this while the ladies will have a meal for Christmas.
In order for this to take place, I am estimating that I need financial help ($350). - My health problems (diabetes) to be cured in the Name of Jesus.
God bless you, Ana
