Peace, brothers and sisters!
We are grateful to the Lord for each one of you who are together with us, fellow workers in the Lord’s vineyard—through your prayers, moral and spiritual support, physical involvement, and financial help!

We see how good the Lord is and how beautifully He works in different ways, through different people. Glory to Him, for He prepares the ground before we even step on it so that we may walk in victory with Him!

Because we were deeply involved this summer—facing great battles, exhaustion, and intense spiritual warfare in the fight for souls—we can now say, even though it was difficult, that Jesus is good, He is working, and He gives victory. We give Him all the glory! Glory to Him!

Thank you for your prayers and for the love you have shown us and the ministry here!
Thank you for each of your acts of service, through which the Lord strengthens us as we remain here and witness the battles people face—their struggles, addictions, fears, and more. Your support gives us strength, hope, and encouragement to keep pressing on, striving to win them for Christ, through the power and guidance of the Lord alone!

The Lord is working in people’s hearts through the Gospel that has been preached—one-on-one and in gatherings—and continues to work and touch hearts, setting people free from their sinful state.

We had teams from Canada join us, and by the grace of the Lord, we were able to visit homes, evangelize, and hold evening gatherings to study the Scriptures together with people from the village.
We rejoiced to see people respond to the invitation to attend these events, where they heard songs of praise to the Lord, testimonies, and the preaching of the Gospel!

During the visits, we shared with people what repentance truly means, what Christ has done for us, how much He loves them, and what He desires from us—that we give Him our hearts and follow Him fully.
We told them that salvation is not something we can earn through our own efforts, because Christ has already paid the price with His blood on the cross at Golgotha in our place!

We give glory to the Lord for the strength He gave to the brothers—and to us—to share Christ’s love and to answer the many questions people had so they could better understand the Scriptures.

It was a time of grace, during which three souls decided to be baptized—three people who have been attending the church for 6 years and 1 year, respectively. Praise be to the Lord!

My wife and I visited them personally to make sure they clearly understood the Word of God, to answer any remaining questions, and to study the Scriptures together if they desired to grow in knowledge.

We urge you to pray for this victory—for these souls—as well as for all those who heard the Gospel this summer: children, youth, and adults. Pray that they would come to Christ and that the evil one would have no power over them. May the Lord strengthen them and keep them faithful and strong on His path!

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and thank you again for your lifted prayers!

Psalm 92:1-5

1. It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High,

2. proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,

3. to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.

4. For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord; I sing for joy at what your hands have done.

5. How great are your works, Lord, how profound your thoughts!

We thank our Heavenly Father for His goodness and the blessings He gives us through the brothers and sisters who intercede in prayer for the Lord’s work in Daneasa—for us as a family, and also for the construction of the church, which is of great benefit for the Kingdom of God!

Before we built the church building, we used to meet in homes, rotating through small home groups, and for a while, we even rented a house to gather in.
Then, by the grace of the Lord, He helped and guided us to start meeting in our own home until the church could be built up to the concrete slab.
With His help, when we managed to pour the slab for the church, we rejoiced to be able to gather in the large hall—even though it wasn’t finished—because having a place where we could meet and worship the Lord brought us great joy!

This space is very helpful for evangelistic events, for children and youth activities, for the women’s and men’s groups.
We are so grateful that the Lord is working in a wonderful way and that He takes care of everything!

We are now at the stage of working on the finishes and preparing rooms for guests—rooms that will be used by short- or long-term mission teams, or perhaps even by a family who may want to join in the Lord’s work here.

We are thankful, grateful, and joyful because every small task completed brings us closer to the final victory, where we will be able to carry out every aspect of ministry with joy, having a fully completed church building.

That is why we dare to bring before you these prayer requests, asking the Lord to continue working and helping us gather the remaining financial resources still needed:

1. We still need 150,000 RON (approximately $3,000) for finishing works (drywall ceilings, complete kitchen, ceiling insulation materials like mineral wool and OSB boards, leveling screed cement, sand for the mix, and doors for the rooms).

2. Good health so we can continue working.

3. Spiritual protection for the family.

4. That many more people would be saved and that the Lord’s work would continue to grow and prosper.

We thank all of you who support us in prayer and financially.
We are grateful and thankful to God for you, because together we are working to expand His Kingdom!
May the Lord bless you and keep you in His mighty and protective hand!

Romans 8:37-39

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Often in Scripture, we hear these words: “Rejoice, and again I say, Rejoice!” This is how the Lord encourages us — that in every trouble, we should look to Him, for He is our joy at all times. In every problem, He brings deliverance and its accompanying joy!

We rejoice because children are coming to the kids’ and teens’ program to hear the Gospel and listen to each Bible story attentively!
This is our goal: that through every Bible story, these children would hear and read the Bible. Praise the Lord, for He is good and gives us strength and everything we need for each program!

We spoke about the deliverance of the people of Israel — how God spoke to Moses, the plagues He sent upon the Pharaoh and his people.
How wonderful it is for them to see that God is sovereign over all — over the sea, over animals, over every person!

Pray for these children to know the whole Bible, and for the Lord to speak personally to each one of them, and at the appointed time, may fruit be seen for His Kingdom!
Pray also for the teenagers — that together we may study the Bible more deeply, and that through the Holy Spirit, their hearts would be touched to receive Him into their lives as Lord and King!

Philippians 4:4-6
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is near.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Thank you, and may the Lord Jesus bless all of you who pray without ceasing, and also for your generosity in supporting the Lord’s work so that His Kingdom may grow!
Be blessed!

Love means everything in this life, and the one who speaks to us most beautifully about love and who gives love is God. He sent His only Son to earth to show us what love is. Through His Son, Jesus Christ—through His very life lived on earth and His death on the cross for us—He demonstrated the greatest love for humanity!

Even for the little ones, the Lord Jesus showed how much He loves them and taught His disciples how to love—not with favoritism, not with mere words, but with their whole hearts. He told His disciples and taught them that love means loving without expecting anything in return, with the innocence of a child, as the Word of the Lord says:

“Truly I tell you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
—Matthew 18:3

How wonderful is our Lord! Glory to Him, and may all honor be His alone!

What is love?

How should we show love to those around us? The Bible teaches us in His Word, in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8:

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails!”

We pray that the Gospel, shared with love to these little ones as we continue reading the Word together, will change their hearts through the Holy Spirit so that they may experience the new birth!

Please pray for us, that God may give us strength, guidance, and wisdom to do this work—to bring the Gospel from the youngest to the oldest—and may the Lord receive all the glory!

Also, pray for financial support for this ministry, as we need resources for various events we organize, such as this one for the celebration of the Lord’s birth. Gifts were given not only to those in attendance but also to those who joyfully praised the Lord through song and poetry.

We prepared a special surprise for them, especially for those who are consistent, always present at programs, and eager to learn more about the Lord Jesus—a small but meaningful joy, to show them they are appreciated and loved!

Thank you for all your support in prayer, for your love, and for your financial support!
May God bless you and carry you in His grace of victory!

1 Corinthians 13:13
“And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

Peace and the blessing of the Father above be upon you all!

We want to give you an update on the work of the Lord in Daneasa, but first, we want to say how grateful and thankful we are for you, for supporting us in your prayers. Thank you for the love you show us and for standing by us as we work to win souls for the Lord!

After the evangelism we held in September, two people have turned to the Lord. They are older, and we rejoice that they want to know the Lord more deeply by studying the Bible and attending the programs we offer. Glory to the Lord for this!

We also rejoice and want to share with you the joy of seeing more women attending the group meetings. After a long period where only 3-4 women would come, now there were 10, along with Mihaela!
Since it is winter, they met indoors and had a blessed time in the Lord, through songs, reading the Word, and testimonies.

They were asked what the Lord has done for them this year or what He means to them. Many said He protected them, gave them health, and enabled them to attend the programs when possible. Some of the women, 5-6 of them being widows, could not attend because of health issues. They realized how important it is to come to the gatherings, to hear the Word, to be challenged, encouraged to remain close to the Lord, and comforted!
We give glory to the Lord for all He is doing in Daneasa, and may all glory be His alone!

We are also preparing with the children for the Christmas program, rehearsing songs and soon, the poems!
The children are excited because Christmas is coming, and during the holidays, they were asked what Christmas means to them. Surprised, they answered: food, decorating the house and the Christmas tree. That’s when my wife explained the true meaning of Christmas—the joy that the Savior came into this world for us so that we might share the Good News with others, so they too can hear the truth!

We thank you so much for your prayers and know that your support in prayer means a great deal to us, especially as we face significant battles here with the spirits of darkness.
We feel how they try to attack our children and us with discouragement to stop the work. Even in these struggles, we see how God is in control, and our hope is in Him. We are strengthened through prayer and the Word, and all praise goes to Him, Amen!

Be blessed, our dear ones!

Psalm 33:4-5
For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.

Jesus called the little children to Him and said, “Let the children come to Me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” – Luke 18:16

Children are the Lord’s blessing for families, and in this regard, I want to tell you that the Lord is working wonderfully in their lives!
Even though they come from different families, some in difficult situations, others less so, when you meet them and see how they embrace you and ask, “When will we meet again? When will we play again? When will we hear more Bible stories?” — it is such a joy!
It is a blessing to be able to speak of the love of Christ and how much He loves and values children!
By His grace, we are grateful that every Saturday we have a program with the children, and about 10, 15, or even 20 kids come when we gather in the church building.
What’s wonderful is that it is only God who has made this possible because we decided by faith to trust that the children would come to this location. Usually, when they were invited, only 5 or 6 children would come. Glory to the Lord for this victory!
During the summer, we hold evangelistic events on the large football field in the town, but when the weather turned bad, we had nowhere to meet.
Now we are thankful and give thanks to the Lord for the church building, which helps us so much to host the program indoors.
We have shared Bible stories about David and Goliath, Jonah, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Noah, Adam and Eve and their sin, the Ten Commandments, and the miracles of Scripture: the multiplication of fish, the healing of Peter’s mother-in-law, Jairus’s daughter, the miraculous catch of fish, and the healing of a centurion’s servant!
The children are very receptive, eager to listen, learn Bible verses, and sing songs that praise the Lord!

We are also quickly approaching the celebration of the Lord’s birth, and we pray that the Lord helps us continue telling the children about His love for them and the wonderful hope we have in Him!

We thank you for your unceasing prayers for us and the work in Daneasa. We urge you to continue praying for:

1. These children, that they may be transformed by the Word they hear from Scripture and that it may bear fruit in their lives and the lives of their families,
2. Pray for us as a family, that we may be strengthened by the Lord, continuing His work with faithfulness and power,
3. Financial support for the things we need for each program and event.

Thank you, and may the Lord Jesus bless you!

Glory to the Lord for you, as you continually keep us in your prayers, and because you have the Lord’s work on your hearts, you have given in His Name to advance any work for the expansion of the Kingdom of God!
We thank you and wish to send you holy greetings in our Lord Jesus Christ!
This question was askes for those who wanted to learn about Jesus Christ; the children were asked this question at the day camp we had. It was amazing to hear their responses, some saying He is the Son of God, while others did not know what to answer.
But we rejoice because everything we do is through the Grace of the Lord and the children heard about Christ’s love and what He has done for each of us, both for the young and the old!
The children heard Bible stories, verses, and songs, all telling of the love and sacrifice of the Lord Jesus, and how they can receive forgiveness of sins and salvation as a gift!
Around 30-40 children came; we were glad to be with them, to play together, to talk with the parents who came with them, and to socialize more, thus becoming better friends and inviting them to our church programs!
The children received booklets with Bible stories and the verses we learned together, and they told us they were very happy to hear about Noah, David, Zacchaeus, Mephibosheth, and Saul!
How wonderful to see on their faces how delighted they were and with what joy they learned the verses and songs!

We pray that the Lord will make this word take root in their hearts and bring forth fruit, both in their lives and in the lives of their parents!
We thank you for your prayers, for the love you have for the Lord’s work and for us!
We are encouraged by the prayers lifted because we know we have to fight against the schemes of the devil, and we have felt this in every work the Lord has placed on our hearts to do!
Right at the beginning of the children’s day camp, we all started to feel agitated, we did not understand each other, and we felt something we could not control, then we realized we had to pray for the Lord to give us the strength to overcome any spirit the evil one wants to place over us to hinder our progress!
Praise the Lord, for through Him we are victorious, and we gave Him glory for the power, wisdom, and victory He has given us, and we successfully completed this day camp with the children and planted the Word of the Lord in their hearts, Glory to Him!

Ephesians 6:12-13

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

We are victorious through Jesus Christ who has freed us from the bondage of sin and the insecurity of eternal life! Through His sacrifice, we are victorious in any trial and difficulty we face on this earth; we are victorious through Him against any spirit of weakness or illness. Glory to Him!

By the Lord’s grace, after a difficult period, Ruth is feeling better, and we are grateful to God and to you who pray for us and for the Lord’s work in Daneasa, for together we are workers in the Lord’s vineyard!

Ruth’s baptism took place after many health trials. It was a wonderful day, and we rejoiced because the Lord granted victory and she was not ill, despite the strong emotions she experienced. The Lord strengthened her, and together with the guests and brothers who supported us, heaven rejoiced with us!

We thank everyone for their support, both in prayer and financially. May the Lord reward and bless you! We thank you as a family and as a church. May God be praised and glorified forever and ever for any work done in His Name!

We appreciate you, the Șerbănescu family!

Peace be with you, our beloved. We send you greetings from Oltenia. May the Lord bless you and protect you. May He always be your comfort and joy at anytime.
We greet you with 2nd Thessalonians 1:2-3.

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are bound to give thanks to God always to you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith growth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another aboundeth;
So help us God, may our faith increase and He be glorified forever.
We want to let you know that Ruth and my wife are much better and that’s why we want to say thank for supporting us and being there when we need, and for your prayers, for us and for God’s ministry here. May He bless you!

We are glad that we can continue to serve the Lord and that He answers prayers and makes His work grow, allowing the gospel to be told to as many people as possible, both great and small. Glory to Him!

As I mentioned before, we meet with children every Saturday, where we proclaim Christ to these little ones in our village through Bible verses, songs, games, Bible lessons, and during small breaks, we give them the time to enjoy this little park that we have in the churchyard!

We have a slide, swings, a trampoline, and we want to get a rotating carousel, a house above the slide, and with the Lord’s help in the future, we also want to get the rubber mat that is used to prevent children from getting hurt when they fall!

We have also managed, by the grace of the Lord, to build two toilets outside for all the events we want to hold by the grace of the Lord. We have installed the windows, the roofing, and the sinks, and we still need to get the toilets and doors. The total cost we still need is 2300 lei for the doors and toilets.

We pray that the Lord provides the necessary resources for these needs!

Since we have just celebrated Easter, we held an event at the Cultural Center where the gospel was proclaimed through the Jesus Film, the reading of scripture, and songs lifted up to the Lord!

We were glad that children, young people, and a few adults came. May the Lord Jesus bless each of them and touch their hearts, and may the Lord be glorified!

We urge you to pray for these souls so that the seed planted may sprout in their hearts and that the Lord may work for their salvation through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Pray for us as well, that the Lord may give us strength and wisdom in everything we have to organize and grant us victories in trials!

Thank you for being with us, and may God bless you. It means a lot to us to know that you support us in prayer and with everything the Lord puts on your heart!

Be blessed by our Heavenly Father!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. – Philippians 4:13

We want to begin by thanking you for all the support in prayers, your love, and generosity!
God bless you and reward each one of you with everything you need, may He take care of you!
During these past two years, we’ve faced various trials, spiritual battles, and struggled to maintain good health, but seeing that my wife and our eldest daughter, Ruth, weren’t feeling well, we started undergoing more investigations.
My wife and our eldest daughter had to undergo several tests to determine their condition.
My wife is much better now, thanks to the surgical intervention on her uterus due to heavy bleeding!
Ruth, our 16-year-old daughter, hasn’t been well for these past 2 years, starting with numbness in her arms, body pains, general malaise, headaches, extreme paleness, lack of strength, fainting spells, and because of this, she has been absent from school!
Wherever we took her, they said her tests were fine and couldn’t figure out what was wrong!
And two months ago, she had a severe epileptic seizure, we went to the hospital, she had an EEG, and they found out she had seizures both during sleep and while awake!
She was hospitalized, started treatment, now she’s back home, and initially, she was doing well while in the hospital, but when she came home, with the stress from school, she started feeling worse!
We prayed for her, kept her home since she wasn’t feeling well, especially because she had more seizures while asleep and took longer to recover when she woke up!
Now we give glory to God because through His power and grace, we see her starting to get better, to see her a bit happier and eager to go to school!

We serve the Lord even in these trials because we believe that trials bring patience, and patience brings victory in trials!
We rejoice in the time we spend with children every Saturday, a program where we tell them the gospel, teach them songs, and play together to learn how to behave nicely, respect and appreciate each other more!
It’s a joy to see how they desire to learn Bible verses, how attentive they are, and when questions are asked, they respond promptly!
We give glory to the Lord for this work and pray that the Lord works in the hearts of the children, thus reaching the hearts of their parents with the gospel!
We thank the Lord because He takes care of us and He is the one who strengthens us in weaknesses, He is our strength and hope!
May the Lord bless you and carry you in His victorious grace!
We bless you in the name of the Lord, we continue to pray for each other that the Lord may show His glory and praise through us!
Be blessed!
