I give thanks to God who protects me every day and blesses me steadfastly in His way. “I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneths me.” Philippians 4:13
The commandment of Jesus is to preach the gospel and to make disciples, so I do nothing but listen to what God ask me to do.
I was pleasantly surprised by what a man told me after a group meeting.
“Elijah, as you talked about baptism and how I can follow Jesus Christ, I felt a power that flooded my whole body. I have never had such an experience before!”
The way the Bible was presented to him makes him want to follow Jesus Christ, and he wants to continue coming to the weekly meetings at the Hope Church.
Thank God for Viorel, who was encouraged by the Scripture.
I was on the street, handing out masks and soaps to the people of Craiova. There I met Catalin, a gentleman of about 50 years. After I finished handing out the things, I invited him to tea. After two hours of discussion from the Scripture, I noticed that he was open and interested in what it meant to be a Christian. I say this because I have seen that it has a tendency towards oriental beliefs, yoga and mysticism.
At the end of the conversation he asked the following question: “Was there no other solution to man’s salvation than the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ?”
I am glad that God is part of my preaching of the gospel. I want to thank and congratulate you, the partners called by God, to come with me in the work of spreading the gospel.
Prayer Requests:
- Health – because I walk many kilometers when I do evangelism.
- Courage to face any obstacle from the field.
- To be able to face the threats and dangers that come from people.
- Help from God to complete the call and evangelistic service on the street and the mission, until the Lord Jesus calls me home.
