The happiness of helping the poor

”Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.” (Psalm 41:1)

From some time, the Speranța Church in Craiova has concluded a strategic partnership with Bank Food, an organization that distributes food to the poor. In this way, we were able to reach more poor people, to whom we distributed food in the name of God. Every time we visited them, children and old people whom we gave food were waiting for us with joy. I told them that all this is in the name of the Lord Jesus. About a week ago, I visited a family to whom I took several bags of flour to a woman who is raising 2 children alone. I asked her if that flour was of any use to her. She told me that that flour was manna from heaven for her and that she had nothing left to eat. The Bible says “It is more blessed to give than to receive” I was able to experience the joy that comes from giving in the name of the Lord. When we drive to a poor neighborhood to distribute food, people know us: “The repenters have come”.

I am glad that through acts of giving people can see the light of Christ. With a full stomach and Christ in the heart! Many times God put an inexplicable and divine joy in my heart when I saw the joy of these people who were helped with food. Also, the Gospel advances, through the service of preaching and Biblical teaching in the Church, where by the grace of the Lord I serve weekly. I am glad that the Lord called me to the service of making Him known to unsaved people and to disciple those who need spiritual growth. Thank you to everyone who prays and donates. I wish that the Gospel of the Lord Jesus will continue to advance through us.

I thank the Lord that He gave me a faithful wife who supports me in all the evangelistic and missionary endeavors I do. She accompanies me almost everywhere on the mission, except when she’s sick from being pregnant. I thank God that my wife has a great love for God, for people and for the advancement of the Gospel.

Pray that the Lord will continue to use us and give us victory. Amen!
