Serving Others Through Grace

Together for Mission — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 12:20:07 +0000

We continue to fulfill the verse…” according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” 1 Peter 4:10

The Camp

God has blessed us through the fact that one of the missionaries from the Speranța Drăgănești-Olt Church gave us the opportunity to serve alongside him at the Catalyst youth camp. The theme of the camp was building identity in Christ. In this camp, Brother Octavian entrusted two responsibilities to me and one responsibility to Cornelia. My wife’s responsibility was to help in the kitchen with cooking. My responsibility was to supply the groceries for cooking with the car and to assist the youth team with games and Bible study time. I should mention that all 30 or so young people were divided into four teams.

I was encouraged to see that the youth, even if a few are coming to Speranța Church, have good questions about spiritual life and God. I had meetings with some of the young people from the group and we were able to talk about how our Lord Jesus died to reconcile us with God the Father.

Many times I wondered if they understood what I explained to them, either in the group or personally. At the end of the camp, one activity was for each person to have a sheet of paper taped to their back, and others who wished could write a few thoughts about the person wearing the sheet. One of the messages written on my sheet is, ”Thank you for leading me to know Jesus. I hope you will convince everyone you share with about the word of God.” This message is anonymous. One of the messages written on Cornelia’s sheet is, ”Thank you for your love, your service, the food was exceptional.”

Pray that these young people who were served will become Christians who bring the light of Christ to this part of southern Romania.

Tia Mare

“Even if our ministry has undergone a change and we are involved in coordinating the assistance of missionaries in the Olt and Dolj counties, we continue our pastoral visits to the Nițu family from Tia Mare. Our encouragement came when Emanuel and Mirela, who are Brother Florea’s nephews, expressed their desire for their youngest baby boy Samuel, who is 3 months old, to be blessed in the Hope Church in Drăgănești-Olt. We spoke with the pastor and organized this special prayer during the church meeting on the first Sunday of July.

Pray that they will accept the Lord Jesus as Lord and Savior.”

Transition

As a family, we are still in the process of transitioning from church planting in Corabia to regional ministry and focused involvement with Hope Church Craiova. We are still experiencing various feelings of confusion and regret about leaving the city of Corabia, and we have already moved many of our belongings to the new residence. Pray that the Lord will help us make this step with joy. Also, pray for our son Tiby, who will move to Cluj Napoca in October to study nursing.

We believe this transition will be completed in September because I have spoken with Brother Pastor Raul Costea and I will also take the coordination of small groups at Hope Church Craiova. This will help me be even more focused on Craiova. Pray that this work will be beneficial and guided by the Holy Spirit.

Joys and Fulfillments in Our Hearts

Together for Mission — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 17:14:31 +0000

“It was Beautiful” – Encouraging Experience

Heartwarming words were spoken by a fellow citizen during our encounter with him. For a year now, this person has been part of our private Facebook group, where we share evangelistic messages to influence people to accept the Lord Jesus as their Savior.

This occurred after we broadcasted live in the group an event organized by us, the Dumitru family, in Carol I Park in Corabia. As missionaries, we always ask ourselves: How can we convey the Gospel most effectively? During our tour in Romania, a group of Christians from Germany, members of a brass band, agreed to come to our town. Brother Marian Stoica, our contact with them, provided us with the unique opportunity to host this musical and Gospel-sharing event.

With the municipality’s approval, the event took place in the park. Despite lower attendance than expected, the true joy came from the reactions of those who watched the event online. It was a remarkable experience, and the impact of this moment will remain in our hearts and in those who witnessed it.

“Thank You, It Really Helps” – “Hope for School” Project

I want to share with you the joys and encouragements that have taken place within our “Hope for School” project. Our project has had a significant impact on the lives of 19 children, offering them a healthy dose of hope. One remarkable story I want to share is that of a father who came to the gate on his bicycle to receive backpacks for his children. Upon receiving the backpack, the father smiled and warmly said, “Thank you, it really helps.” This simple gesture reflects not only his gratitude for the support received but also the impact we have in the community.

It is important to mention that this father has been open to hearing the Gospel over time. However, he has not yet decided to follow the Lord Jesus. We call on each of you to pray for Jenică, the name of this grateful man, to be guided and directed toward Salvation.

We thank all of you for your continuous support and prayers. May each of our actions bring glory to God and bring hope and joy into the lives of those in need.

A Portion of God’s Work Done Through Cornelia

I have the joy of sharing extraordinary news from my wife, Cornelia, who dedicated over a month to evangelistic activities and distributing Christian literature. With grace and dedication, Cornelia managed to distribute over 5000 pieces of Christian literature, including New Testaments and books, placing them in the mailboxes of the blocks in Corabia. This initiative was supported by her unique gift of evangelism and bringing light through the Word of God. Each piece of literature distributed represents a source of hope and spiritual guidance for those who read it.

Let us pray together that these spiritual seeds will bear beautiful fruit and be the means by which many will come to know the Lord.

Us as Family – Academic and Professional Achievements

With joy and gratitude in our hearts, we want to share wonderful news about our blessed family this year.

Our daughter, Damaris, had the privilege of successfully completing her studies, earning her degree. We are proud of her dedication and efforts, and we are grateful to have witnessed this significant moment in her life. We are first and foremost grateful to God.

Similarly, our son, Tiby, has shone brightly during this period. After successfully passing his high school exams, he is now in the process of enrolling in the firefighting school. This choice reflects his passion and dedication to serving the community, and we stand by him with every step he takes.

With these achievements, we are even more grateful for your continued support. Every good thought, prayer, and encouragement we have received from you has added value to our journey as a family. Thank you for being part of this journey and for sharing in our joys.

We join God’s work

Together for Mission — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 12:46:38 +0000

Dear brothers and sisters in faith, I have great joy because I can write a few words about what God is doing and how we have been able to join Him. I want to write about the stage we are at in the Lord’s service

The People of Peace Project

Corabia city

Our prayer is that the Lord will bring 3 more Christians to be part of the mission team in Corabia. But until then, my wife Cornelia and I are learning how to work as a mission team.

The Lord endowed Cornelia with the gift of evangelization. During the week, she visits 4 of our neighbors. It is true that her experiences when she comes home after these visits are different. There are days full of joy but also some sad ones, due to the openness or resistance of these women.

Tia Mare village

During the celebration of the birth of Jesus, together with a group of young people, we caroled at six families with whom we have already developed a bond of friendship.

Also, in February, we visited these families again and explained that we can be reconciled to God only through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. On these visits, I went with a group of young sisters from the USA.

Also in February, I was again in the town of Tia Mare with my wife Cornelia and we did two activities, we put over 50 packages that we call the good seed. Which consists of a book called” The GoodSseed” and three other packets of tomato seeds, cucumbers, zucchini and radishes. The message conveyed is that just as we put seeds in the ground and vegetables grow, so too, if we put the word of God in our hearts daily, the Holy Spirit will cause us to bear fruit. The first fruit is the return to God.

The second activity was to talk to as many people as possible who are available to listen to us.

The Society Face to Face with the Bible Project

Corabia city

With God’s help this year we will try to understand more clearly what God’s vision is. The vision is “A community organized in missionary groups, made up of people modeled after the image of God and who have and carry the Hope of peace locally, regionally and online”

Since the beginning of the year, through the messages from the Holy Scriptures, it has been clarified that the peace He gives us is peace with God through repentance and faith in the Sacrifice of the Lord Jesus, the peace of God that comes as an answer to prayer for the things that worry us and peace with men.

Tia Mare

The town of Tia Mare has been in our attention for a long time, because over time we have developed a close relationship with three families who still do not follow Christ. Plus, we have a faithful family who live in Tia Mare and who are part of the group of believers who worship in Corabia.

Weekly, we visit the Nițu family. They are believers, but they are in great need of encouragement because they are the only ones who follow Christ and whenever they say something about God, they encounter a lot of opposition.

We are still looking for a room to rent to be able to have worship meetings every Sunday.

Project Hope for Students

Thank you to everyone who cares about the welfare of the children from Corabia and helps this project continue. This year, other children were helped, in addition to those who were helped in September.

We plant the seed with patience

Together for Mission — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 10:38:23 +0000

Dear partners ,who have joined here in Corabia to our mission, it has been some time since I sent the last Update regarding the work here. During this period I spread the gospel message through four ways:

New Testaments

Our city is mostly composed of neighborhoods with houses, but in the center, we have apartment blocks, where until now we have emphasized the preaching of the gospel. Last months, together with my wife, I shared New Testaments that included an invitation to our meetings every Sunday. The Lord has given us permission to see that there are people interested in reading from the New Testament. At one block we put the invitation and the New Testament in each mailbox, when we left, the postman was coming in to deliver the mail, from the door of the block Ițve heard the conversation between a man from that block and this postman. The postman asked permission to take the New Testament to read.

Pray that this man who reads the Bible to return to God and be born again.

VBS

This year, we had two weeks of VBS with the kids. The first VBS was in July, and the second in August. Again, the team I worked with was my family, Cornelia, Damaris and Tiby. This year the generation we work with has changed again. It is the third generation in which we invest, through biblical education. The main themes of these two VBS were “How animals and men became evil” and “Punishment or redemption”. Naturally, these subjects were presented in a way that children could understand, through biblical stories. Cornelia taught them songs and Tiby was responsible for organizing the games, Damaris took care of the projection.

Pray that these children will grow up in the fear of the Lord and be saved.

School support

With God”s help who works through His believers, seven children were helped this year with school bags and supplies to start the new school year well. Cornelia is the one who coordinates this project. My contribution is only prayer and encouragement. In our area, children from poor families have a fairly high school dropout rate. Our goal with this help is for them to go to school and learn to read so they can study the bible

Pray that those helped will not drop out of school.

Facebook messages

“What you say is true” “yes, it is true, because it is an exposition of the Biblical text” “I know, because I also read the Bible”….. These are some quotes from conversations with people who do not go to the church. These are reactions to the messages I post on the facebook page or privately on messenger. I started doing this because I noticed that when I went to preach the Gospel, I met very few people and almost none of them were willing to listen to me. My goal is for more and more people from Corabia to hear the good message of reconciliation with God through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Pray that these people who are listening to the posted messages will be saved.

The hope of the sower!

Together for Mission — Wed, 29 Jun 2022 10:16:27 +0000

We, as a family, are gratefull to God for being with our children, and they are growing up in certain aspects of their relationship with God. And God helps us to remain faithful to the ministry that God gave us by the Church of Drăgănești Olt.

Our focus in this critical time in which we live is to invite as many people from the town as possible to our worship meetings before God. I did this in two ways: by giving them christian literature with written invitations to our meetings and by serving them by preaching the gospel.

The seed sown

Corabia being a city with a few blocks and several houses we had two different projects:

1. For the area where there are only houses, we shared a calendar, called Good Seed, along with vegetable seeds and flowers, along with the invitation to church. In this action, we as a family were also helped by brother Michael Jordan, who is a member of the O.M. Christian Foundation. Talking to people on the streets, I noticed their lack of interest. Many times they listened to what I had to say and had no reaction. Pray that all who have received the calendar and the invitation will respond, return to God, and come to the meetings of our group of believers.

2. For the area where there are blocks, we put a New Testament and an invitation for each apartment in their mailbox. I also had a little encouragement in this activity. While we were putting the Testaments in a block of flats, the postman came in, and we heard him ask another person for permission to take a New Testament. Join us in asking God for the people who received these Testaments to be saved and added to the number of disciples on this town.

Serving the gospel

Thank God for giving our family the ability to serve Him. My wife has the ability to develop many relationships and share the good news of salvation with them.

Last year, in one of the families we visited to preach the gospel, it was a tragedy. Their daughter had a car accident in which she broke her spine, with surgery now the girl is walking on her feets. During this time, we prayed and continued to visit this family. A few days ago, Cornelia met her friend and the girl who had the accident. Although, until now, it seemed that the girl was reacting well to the trauma, now she was going to a psychologist. She thinks she’s not normal and she’s going to die. Cornelia again told them that their return to God was their only hope in this situation, but they had no answer. Pray for this family to return to God, and in our visits to them, to have the wisdom to approach this situation from a biblical perspective.

Love received and passed on

Together for Mission — Sat, 12 Feb 2022 07:49:25 +0000

But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. – Romans 5:8

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John – 4:10

Our family

During these two months of ministry, we, as family, rejoiced to be reunited. Damaris, our daughter, who is at college in Cluj, came home for the holidays. She was with us at the church meetings and caroling activities.

Also, during this period, our family was not spared from suffering. Cornelia, my wife, had her right leg in plaster because of two toes on which she had cracked bones. Meanwhile, Tiby, our boy, took over some of Cornelia’s responsibilities.

In all of this, we enjoyed God’s intervention. And I showed the goodness of God to those who needed the gospel and Christian love.

The missionary activities of our family

We are very happy when we can invest in the lives of young people and children. In December, we saw how God convinces and works in the lives of young people. On 4th December , I watched the movie Noah with the young people. After after we watched the movie, we had a few discussions about human wickedness and God’s intervention in Noah’s life. On19 December , I had an event where I preached the gospel and then gave them a bag of food and sweets. During the discussions, a teenager said, “I’m thinking of repenting.” After that, 3 others said the same.

Pray with us that these 14-year-old teenagers will carry the thought to the end and have a baptism this year.

Pray for us to know how to continue investing in them.

God has delivered me from the thought that the area in which I serve the Lord is the hardest. At the beginning of the year, I had the opportunity to go in Dobrogea ,to pray and visit some missionaries there. Although I was in Romania, I realized that I was actually in a totally different culture from what I knew Romania meant. Turkish was spoken more, and their organization seemed disorganized to me. All this made me accept that yes, where I serve, it is difficult because people do not react and are indifferent, but there are other areas where people come to meet, but only with other thoughts than to return to The Lord Jesus.

A few years ago, a sister from Germany came to Romania as a missionary. For almost two years she was involved in Corabia with Cornelia in children ministry. During this time, her heart clung to some very needy children. With her help, during this time we were able to buy food and clothing for these children.

Present in the community

Together for Mission — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 08:06:55 +0000

With God’s help we as His servants are present among the people from Corabia:

In tragic events

Lately, we, as a family, have learned that we are in Corabia ,as witnesses who say what they know and to see, but people have a responsibility to weigh and decide whether to believe or ignore. Cornelia talked to one of her friends and talked about what happens with the believer after death and what happens with the unbeliever. That friend said, “You know I’m not with religion, we can talk over at a coffee time but I’m not with God.” Some time ago, Cornelia and I were having coffee together in our town, it was our day off. And Cornelia received a phone call, her face showed sadness at the news. That friend who had heard so many times the good news of reconciliation with God through Christ had died, but she did not accept it. The pain was heartbreaking.

Through holiday events

Together with our small group of believers, we gathered to thank God for the fruits He has given us this year. The biblical passage that was exposed on this occasion was Psalm 65, where we find the exhortation to praise God because he hears our prayers and because He gives the abundance of the earth. Our prayer was that many in the city would join us in this celebration of thanksgiving. In this regard, I have invited many people from Corabia. They replied that they would come to this celebration. But that Sunday it was just us, the small group of believers.

Through Christian messages on the city’s Facebook page

In these pandemic days, our small town is almost empty. You walkon the the streets and there are few you meet. Those who go out have a specific purpose, and it’s hard to strike up a conversation with them. Under these conditions, a thought took shape. To post the gospel message on social platforms where most people are from Corabia. So, some time ago, I started posting on the “Corabia’s of the 21st Century” page. Pray that this project will result in the return of many people to Christ.

By helping the poor’s

We are thankful to God because a few years ago we entered into a partnership with the organization “Children’s Hunger Fund” through the Church of Slatina. Through this project, we managed to help 5 families this year. One family has 4 children up to 12 years old and they live in difficult conditions. 3 weeks ago, when we went to give the food boxes, we managed to talk to the children’s father for the first time and presented the Bible message directly. Join us in prayer for this family, Baieram, to return to God.

Emotions at the personal level, in our family and in the ministry

Together for Mission — Mon, 18 Oct 2021 14:36:39 +0000

Last summer was full of all kinds of activities: We had prayer on the streets of the city, evangelism from person to person, we helped with the resources we had, families who have children and have a more precarious financial situation, and we, as well as team, we continued to invest in children and young people from a more disadvantaged community. However, in the following lines, I will focus only on working with children and teenagers.

Our family

September, for us as family, was a month of changings. It was a great joy when Damaris, was born 20 years ago, this year her life, but also ours, reached another stage. Being in the second year of university in Cluj, she decided to live there. Emotions are on our side but also in her heart. Pray for Damaris that the Lord will protect her spiritually and grow in her relationship with God. May the Lord also strengthen her spiritually and protect her physically.

The story of God’s image

Day Camp!

This year The day camp with children and teenagers was an experience that made us more dependent on God. Everything was planned, our family as a team with experience in organizing camps with children, shared their responsibilities, and everyone prepared to serve as well as possible.

The first day, at 10 o’clock, the camp was going to star.. The team was ready, the children were invited, but they were missing, it seems that they were left to wait. Time passed and there seemed to be a shadow of disappointment. after 40 minutes the first children appear. We, were little disappointed,but we started with a song, then with the story from the book of Ruth, and for the games we said that we will do the gaimes next day, because we are few.

In the following days, the number increased so that the feelings of the first day passed.

The children and teenagers who come are from a community that is marginalized by both Romanians and Roma. The lessons learned from the book of Ruth were that their condition can improve if they return to God, they are diligent and honest.

At the end of the week, there were prizes for the winning team and a cake that sweetened us all.

Weekly meetings!

Every Saturday from 10 a.m., we continue to invest in the Bible education of the children in the community we serve. Together we pray, sing, and enjoy Bible stories. We gave the title of this project “The story of the image of God” because, through the stories told, we want to invest to the children that the Bible is a unitary book, a single story that has several chapters. We also want them to learn the history that began with the creation and depravity of mankind, but will end gloriously for all who return to God.

Opportunities to get involved in prayer and more

Our main goal is to sanctify God’s name by planting churches in the city of Corabia and the surrounding villages.

Pray for Corabia:

Doina and Nina are two women who have been coming to our worship meetings for many years. Pray that they will want to be baptized.
Other missionaries need to join the work in the city.

Pray for the village, Orlea

We have a friendship with Delcea„ family, the gospel was proclaimed many times in their homes. Pray for their salvation, and the beginning of a church planting work in their village.
We need a missionary. Ask Lord to bring out workers here.

Pray for the village, Tia Mare

The Nițu„ family, they have been faithful for many years, their wish, but also ours, is to see a church planted there as well.
In Tia Mare we have a fairly large network of relationships. Pray that the Fulguleț family will come to the Lord and receive forgiveness through Jesus Christ
We need a missionary there. Ask the Lord to bring out workers.

Pray for Bastravăț

The Fronie„ family reads the Bible, they even come to worship meetings when they can. Ask to know the Lord, both Costel, the father, and Elisha, the son.
We need a missionary there. Ask the Lord to bring out workers.

We walk through the city, we imitate Christ

Together for Mission — Fri, 29 Jan 2021 14:36:24 +0000

Jesus is a role model for us in serving people. Full of emotion, we want to share with you some of our ministry in Corabia, Oltenia.
Matthew 4:23 Jesus went throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of disease and sickness among the people.

One wave calls another wave

The other day, I had an experience that impressed me a lot. God facilitated through the Hope for the Community Association, the possibility to buy a ton of wood for two families. I went to all the wood storage I knew and to my surprise, they ran out of wood. My wife and I decided to go to a storage we wanted to avoid,to not buy wood from them. Why? Because the boss has often spoken out against the gospel we were preaching. We found wood at this storage, but we had to wait for the owner to be able to buy it. While we were waiting, we had the opportunity to preach the gospel to a man who was very dissatisfied with his financial situation.

When the owner of the storage came, the wood was weighed, and I took it to the first family. At the second family, I also went by car, because the one from whom I bought the wood was also the same person who drove the transport car, he didn’t know where the family we wanted to help lived. On the way, we discussed the desire to help these young people who work for his business and break wood. Many of them came to our worship meetings.

We took the wood, we unloaded, those who unloaded were amazed by the poverty of those people we helped. After we returned and said goodbye, the owner called me and said, “If you want to help others who are as poor as the ones we saw today, I will give you the wood cheaper than I took it because I want to help a little too”. I was impressed by the reaction of these people when they saw the condition of the people we serve.

An unforeseen change

We are followers of a change in good, and we have made from this change apurpose of our lives. But we didn’t plan to change the place where we worshiped. In the first phase, I saw that the owner of the meeting room rented the smaller room to a man who opened a fastfood business, and when it was ready to open it, I noticed the refrigerated boxes and other products stored on the access road to the room where we gather .

I understood that we cannot be with the church in the same place where there is such a business. I was looking for another place to worship. I contacted the Pastor from the Nehemiah association who lives in Caracal. We have found goodwill, and so, since December 20, we are gathering in the building of the Nehemiah Association every Sunday morning. But when we had to leave the old location, we realized it was time to build a room for worship. We will build this room in the courtyard of the mission house. House that until now used as a home for me and my family.

Holidays with restrictions, but not abolished

The holidays for us have always been an opportunity to serve people spiritually but also materially. The year 2020, although there were restrictions, we continued to serve, We did not manage to have events as we had in other years, but we visited at home children and families who usually came to the event. In this ministry joined with us the Christian foundation O.M. through the involvement of Brother Michael Jordan who is German by origin, but who has been serving God in Romania for many years. The brother helped to raise the necessary funds but also to prepare the packages, visits and bring the news of the Birth of the Lord through carols.

Our holiday service continued with carols sung by the group of young people from Sebes Alba, who were with us every year. Our joy is that both in Corabia and in the village Tia Mare the news of the Birth was spread through music, but also through the short message spoken by Brother Vlad at every house where we stopped.

A simple need, a great joy

Missionaries are people who think and seek to serve the spiritual and material needs of the people they want to see saved. Blessed are those who bring joy to missionaries. In December, my wife and I had the opportunity to buy a pair of winter boots.

Prayer requests:

Pray to God that all who have been served may come to salvation
Pray that those who have declared that they want to follow Jesus will also accept the challenge of being baptized.
Pray that this year we will raise the necessary resources to build the room where we want to worship. Our prayer is to build it this year.

We tear down walls by serving

Together for Mission — Sat, 24 Oct 2020 12:09:19 +0000

We tried to tear down the wall between the community of Corabia and the Lord Jesus Christ, serving the children and those who were worried about their health.

My wish and my wife also, Cornelia, is to see as many children from Corabia as possible reading and understanding. To see this dream of ours come true. The children have to go to school. But we don’t just have desires, it’s really an involvement in their lives. And with us are many Christians who feel the same way.

This year, 20 children were helped through the activities of the Speranta project for students. Backpacks and school supplies were provided, and for some of them we bought clothes.

Our joy is that, through our involvement in the lives of these children, we can put another brick in changing the mentality of people from Corabia, towards us, the “repentants”, as they call us. When children grow up, other people, either neighbors or friends, would say bad things about us and they will be able to say, “It’s not like that, because we know them.” They will also be able to read the Bible so that they can return to the Lord.

I have often wondered how I can tell people in a way that they are open and listening. People are open when they feel served. These days, when people are concerned about their health, the Lord has opened an opportunity to donate 1,500 medical masks. Cornelia, managed in time, to create a close connection with the employees of “Profi” stores and in the past few days donated 500 masks for them. Several hundred masks were also donated to the high school in the city center. By talking about the Lord Jesus and serving people in this specific way, we are influencing the community.

Another activity that took place over a period of 4 weeks, was to go out on the street and pray while walking on streets from Corabia. While I was praying, I saw people in need and I was helping them by telling them about the Lord Jesus.

Prayer Pequests:

Children’s parents who are supported by the project Hope for students, to reach the forgiveness of sins through the Lord Jesus.
Pray that all who have been invited to the Church come and also to have salvation.
