16 January
I want to share my most recent activities and about one of the essential things that God has communicated to me lately.
God looks first at my heart and then at my actions and activities. Many of us are focused on our daily desires and forget to turn our eyes to God. I admit that I have fallen into this extreme many times and sometimes it is difficult to stop and take a break when you get into a routine. I want to thank you all for your prayers, for your encouragement and also for your financial support.

Prayer
These past 2 months, we had a team of young people from America with whom we served the community and did ministry almost daily with. We had both activities that focus on those around us but also activities that built us up spiritually and that focus on our inner self. We prayed together almost every morning at 9 oâclock. One thing I can share from this experience is that ministry has a much greater impact when prayer comes first especially when we would go out on the streets and share the Gospel with people. I was amazed to see the Spirit of God working and listening to our prayers.
Worship
Another regular activity was worship. Four evenings a week at 5 PM, we joined in worship together to praise God. We invited young people from the city to join us for these evenings. Worship evenings created a setting in which true joy can be felt, where the Gospel is shared, and God is glorified.
I managed to talk to some of the young people at the end of the worship evenings and among other things they confessed that what they experienced and felt was something unusual, something special. What they felt was actually the presence of God. Through these experiences of worship, we have succeeded in planting seeds of truth in the hearts of many young people, and I pray that they will come to know God personally one day.
I am glad to be a part of what God is doing in Craiova and I am honored to be used by Him. As some of you already know, the main reason I am in this city is to share the Gospel with the people in this area and to help plant a church. There are very few evangelical Christians in tus city, but day by day I notice how the Spirit of God is over everything that is happening here and people are beginning to open up and get to know God personally. Through all the missionary activities and experiences of the past month, I remembered in fact our struggle is a spiritual one, one that cannot be seen with human eyes. In order to have a great impact and people to know God, everything starts from the heart and with obedience to Him.
If you want to get involved with what God is doing here in Craiova through me and my ministry, you can do so by:
- Prayer â Please take a few minutes to pray for me and for every person that is hearing the Gospel.
- Encouragement â Being in ministry, there is a need for constant encouragement.
- Monthly Financial Support â To meet my budget, I need 20 people to donate $25/month.
- Promoter/Ambassador â To be an ambassador for me and my ministry, you can share my newsletters and needs with your friends.
