âSimon answered, âMaster, weâve worked hard all night and havenât caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets!ââ Luke 5:5

âWe prove before the world that He (Jesus) is worthy of being proclamed, even when His work inconverting the lost is not seen.â Ryan Denton
By the grace of God, I went to the town called Malul Mare for the second time with a team of volunteers today, to serve alongside missionaries from SperanČa Church in Craiova, to plant the Word of God in the hearts of people. The first time I went there, there was opposition from a person who spoke badly and in a hostile manner to us. However, the Word reminded me that it is normal to have opposition in the context of sharing the Gospel and for the message of the Cross of Christ to be despised by people.
After a few weeks, we went there again to preach the Gospel to the people, eager and trusting Jesus. Even though I felt in my spirit the burden of worries and the lack of hope in peopleâs lives, the Holy Spirit encouraged me to preach about the Cross of Christ and the hope of his return! At the end of one of the discussions, Mr. Gabriel confessed that God had for a long time been making him aware, through a dream, that he should repent. I encouraged him not to postpone the moment, but to stand before the Lord and decide to follow Him; he expressed his desire to delve deeper into the Scriptures to know more about the work of Jesus at the Cross.
I think that, many times before sowing the Word of God in the lives of people, the enemy seeks to oppose and steal the truth, so that people do not repent. Therefore, it is very important to understand that each of us has a role in ministry. âOne sows and another reapsâ and this is the law of the Kingdom of Christ: to work together with the Lord, whether in SOWING or in REAPING!
May the Lord bless you for all the support you’ve given me in continuing this mission! I’m truly grateful that you carry this work in your prayers and in your heart.Â
May you be richly and deeply blessed.
