A Compelling Story of Faith
Robert came for the first time to our church 2 months ago. He had been following us on social media for a year and finally found the courage to visit us in person one Sunday. After the service, we went to the mall for lunch, and he shared how good it felt to be with us. Robert had many questions about God and, after our conversation, went home to listen to more of my sermons. He is earnestly seeking God. Three weeks ago, when I gave an invitation for whoever wanted to get baptized, Robert came forward. Praise God! Please pray for Robert as he continues on his journey of faith.
E2E Discipleship on the Road
Our E2E program has been on the move! Over the past two months, we’ve taken our courses to Bucharest and Alba Iulia. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with attendees expressing that they had never heard missions and church planting explained so clearly. We were able to bless over 30 people across these two locations. Praise God for this fruitful outreach and the growth in understanding and enthusiasm for His work.
Impactful Outreach with the Canadian Team
In May, we were blessed to host a team of 16 from Millar College of the Bible in Canada. Their week with us was packed with activities including adults and kids English clubs, Roma ministry, youth ministry, street evangelism, one-on-one meetings, a worship night, a talent show, a women’s event, a soccer event, eyeglass ministry, and childrens ministry. After their impactful week here, they headed to Thessaloniki for another week of evangelism, seeking to establish connections for a future mission hub in the city. We are incredibly thankful for their hard work and the significant impact they had both here and in Thessaloniki. Praise God for their dedication and service!
A Joyful Collaboration with Texas A&M
In June, we welcomed a vibrant team of 20 young people from the Wesley at West Texas A&M University. Their ministry included Roma outreach, youth ministry, evangelism, one-on-one meetings, a trip to Bulgaria for evangelism, and childrens ministry. Their joy and enthusiasm were contagious, bringing encouragement and energy to all their activities. We are so grateful for their partnership and the many ways they blessed our community.
Basketball Camp with the Indiana Team
In July, we had an incredibly blessed week during our basketball camp, despite the sweltering temperatures of over 100 degrees each day. About 100 kids and youth participated, making the camp a tremendous success. The team from Parkside Bible Church in Indiana were not just well-prepared coaches but also beloved brothers in the Lord. Their words, service, and attitude were edifying, and we hope to continue this sweet fellowship in Christ for the long term. May God be blessed forever through these enduring relationships.
Celebrating Baptisms
We recently celebrated the baptism of a dedicated lady who chose not to wait for the planned baptism later this year. The baptism took place at someone’s pool a couple of weeks ago and it was a beautiful and joyous occasion. We now have four people who wish to be baptized, and we plan to hold a larger baptism later this year. Please join us in praying for these individuals who will be taking this important step in their faith journey.
