We had the privilege of serving God with tremendous joy and determination during this pandemic, but we have also experienced difficult situations when we were sad and even discouraged. We were able to gather with the members of the Daneasa church every Sunday, even though some families of the ones who continued coming and listening to the Word of God, faced challenges. We have organized gatherings with the women every Thursday when we read and studied the Bible (Women of the Bible study). Now, I want to encourage you to continue praying for them-there are 7-8 women (Maria, Florina, Oana, Adriana, Geanina, Florica, Georgica, Ioana). They attend church regularly. May God move their hearts to receive Him as their Lord. This month we were able to give presents to children but also for the women who attended our gatherings and both the children and the women felt a lot of joy during the holiday season. We praise the Lord because this year He provided for us and all the children got a present and a christian booklet. Sadly we want to inform you that in December 4 men died, one of them being the husband of our sister Mary from the church. He died without having received Christ. We have constantly visited these people and they heard the Gospel but they didn't decide for Christ. It's sad to see so many hurting and desperate families. Even so, we told them there is always hope in Christ! We as a family faced a lot of difficult situations but we have this hope in Christ that all problems will be solved according to His will. We are thankful for your prayers and also for the blessings and provision He has poured on us. Be blessed, all of our sisters and brothers in Christ, and we wish you a better year, a new year with lots of blessings and new strength to serve our king, Jesus Christ! Prayer requests:
1. For the troubled families so that they might find hope. 2. For the members of the church so that their faith may increase. 3. For the young people and the children who heard about God's love. 4. For the women who heard the good news of Jesus' birth and His sacrifice. 5. For our family, for wisdom, strength, physical and spiritual protection. 6. For our children: Ruth, Sarah, Onisim, Esther and Madalina, for physical and spiritual protection and for them to have good results at school. I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:20-21
