Ministering To Women

A few weeks back Naty and some women from the United States had the opportunity to go to Moldova and host a woman's conference. This conference was well attended and the women who attended were thrilled by the experience. They were encouraged in their faith and hope that they will be able to attend another such conference in the coming years as well. Please keep these women in your prayers as they continue to apply the principles they learned in their lives.

In Bucharest the woman's ministry of the International Church is growing as well. We have been very encouraged by the testimony's of several different women who attend the bible study. We thought you would enjoy hearing the testimony of a few of the women who have been positively effected through the woman's bible study.

Days of Celebration

Recently in September we held a bible school for the children of the International Church. Normally most churches would host such a celebration for the children in the summer. Here we must do things differently because many of our families travel during the summer. Yet, we were excited to see the little ones enjoying learning more about Jesus. We want to share with you just a bit of what the children experienced.

The children really enjoyed singing songs that glorified Jesus

At VBS the children learned that Jesus made each of them in his image

There was something for everyone to enjoy

At the end of the month Naty and I were invited once again to attend the Japanese festival in Bucharest. We have so enjoyed getting to know our friends from Japan. God has opened many doors into the Japanese community. Currently Naty is teaching three individuals from the Japanese community English. This is a great opportunity as many of those from Japan in Bucharest do not know Christ. Through opportunities like the language classes we are able to share Christ with them. Please pray that God will continue to open doors like this one here in Bucharest. Last, please continue to pray for those in the Japanese community that we have been able to establish friendships with. Pray that God will continue to open doors for the gospel to be shared with each one.
