The Long Days of Winter

As seems to be the case many places around the world, we are currently receiving one of our most severe winters to date. It has made things rather challenging for the church. As most of you know a year ago the Lord blessed the church with a new building, but we do not have a lot of parking. What parking we do have is public and located on the main roads to and from the church. Therefore, with all the snow we have received it has made parking very difficult. Yet, with all these challenges we are excited to report that God has still been blessing the work as we had 108 in worship on Sunday, our largest attendance in a normal worship service apart from Christmas or Easter. God has continued to show his faithfulness and we are very grateful for His blessings.

We are grateful for the continued growth of our after school program. Over 75% of the families who now have children in our program are unbelievers. As they bring their children to attend each day many parents ask questions about who we are and the nature of the church. This has been opening doors for us to share the love of Christ with those who do not know Him in our community. We are praying that God would continue to bless this as we continue to reach out to these families.

Joyful To Be Part of What Christ Is Doing

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to attend a church planting conference in Frankfurt, Germany. This was a great chance to learn more about what God is doing in different parts of the world and to learn how we can partner in that here in Romania. As a result once I returned to Romania I had the opportunity to meet with a Romanian gentleman who is interested in starting a church here in Bucharest. We are currently as a church praying about the possibility of partnering with this gentleman in this endeavor. Please pray that God would guide our steps as we move forward.

As you have probably read in prior postings on this blog God has given us many unique opportunities to reach out to our community. This past week we were privileged to be part of seeing a new outreach started on Monday's in the church. We started a music class for children and their mothers. The initial response has been very good. We are praying God will bless this effort to reach others in our community.
