MINISTRY UPDATES

I said, Yes!

I said, Yes!…to the 300 refugees who we would have to provide accommodation and food for throughout the war.
That's what the phone call sounded like around 4 o'clock on the afternoon of May 3rd. I made my calculations of the human resources and finances that would be needed. To take care of so many people, you have to have many people at your disposal and hundreds of thousands of dollars. After praying with our missionary team, a few hours later, I said Yes! 

26 years ago I said Yes! to God when He sent me on the mission field and how could I not say Yes! when I see so many people fleeing the war. When you hold in your arms a woman who cries and tells you that she escaped from a house where the bomb came but her husband did not. How could I not say Yes! when in my car on the way to Budapest, a refugee told me that in order to get to Romania she had to go through Russian-occupied territory at the risk of being caught. How could I not say Yes! when I see so many mothers with children and so many ‘Babushkas’ who with tears in their eyes run away from this cruel war.

​After I said yes! God began to move things and put us in touch with people from all over the country who have agreed to help take refugees in their care.
​

Update:

  1. We have completed the 5th generation of our missionary training program E2E.
  2. The Lord helped us to celebrate Easter not only with Romanians but also with a special service for Ukrainians.
  3. With God's help, we have sent over 30 cars in a convoy to Ukraine.
  4. In the two months since the war began, we have helped more than 588 refugees with accommodation, food, medical care and transport to Europe. We have 46 long-term refugees that we take care of staying with us in Craiova.
  5. ​We organized an event for the refugees that are staying with us long term, so that the people of Craiova can get to know them and build relationships with them. At this event, we raised funds to send food and medicine to Ukraine.

Prayer Requests:

  • Please pray that we can cover the rent for all the houses we have rented for the long-term refugees staying here. 
  • Please pray that we can recruit the 6th generation of students for our E2E missionary training program.
