God Kingdom is expanding!

Hope Church has started an evangelism project in Craiova. Through this project, the desire is for every person in Craiova to hear the Gospel, by word of mouth or through the receiving of a brochure or New Testament. For this project, Hope Church has created a plan of going to every house and apartment building in Craiova, so that by putting Christian literature in their mailboxes, each person would have the chance to hear the Gospel. Before we offer this literature, we pray that the Lord would bring us people who are desiring to hear us share the Gospel.  After we finish evangelism, we also pray that the Lord would efficiently make the Word sowed in the people’s hearts. Likewise, we also pray that the literature which was handed out would be read by the people. 

 

One of the days, after I responded to an invitation of going in evangelism with literature that Brother Sebastian offered me, we arrived in front of a bar, where two friends were drinking beer. We started to have a conversation with them and shared the Gospel with them. One of them approved what we were saying from the Scripture, however the other contradicted us, saying that Orthodoxy is the correct religion and that we were spreading a false religion. After about 30 minutes of sharing with them about God’s love, the man agreed to give us his phone number, so that we could go to his home and study the Scripture together. We did this, so he could be convinced if what we are spreading is true or false. He told us, “I will not come to your church. If you want us to study Scripture, we will study it in my house.” We rejoiced at this opportunity, and currently, we are praying that the Lord would prepare his heart for the moment that we will call him, so that we can go to him to share the Gospel. We pray that the Lord will open his mind and heart to understand and receive the Gospel, and likewise we pray that he wouldn’t rethink this idea, but would continue to agree to receive us in his home for the advancing of the Gospel.

 

We also pray that every time we go in evangelism with brochures, that the Lord would continue to show us desiring people who want to hear the truths about God!

 

Likewise, with the help of the Lord, the online ministry continues to grow and develop. Increasingly, more people follow Christian video clips posted on my YouTube channel. YouTube measures the number of daily views that each video has and likewise, what percentage of the videoclip is watched by people. Therefore, according to this report by YouTube, at the begining of this month the number of views and total time spent by users on every video clip raised with 136% higher than the previous month. In march 2021, with the help of the Lord, I have managed to reach over 450,000 views. These views are not necessarily in proportion to the number of people, as one man can watch a video clip 5 or 6 times or even 10, but, with all of this, I know that a very large number of people watched Christian video clips that I posted. The aproximate total number of viewing hours for all viewers for 2021 march is over 39,000. It is an immense number, and I am impressed by the way that people can hear the Gospel through this means.

 

I have entrusted the media ministry at the feet of God and desire for Him to touch as many people possible through this ministry. I desire that through media, the Gospel would reach very many people that have never heard the Word of God and likewise, to those who have heard it and have the need to be spiritually strengthened.

 

Please pray that the Lord would amplify this ministry even more!
