Back Home In Romania

As many of you know our time in the states, January through March, was a time filled with challenges. Yet in every challenge God showed that his grace is truly sufficient. Shortly after Naty's surgery in February she underwent about six weeks of care with physicians. They began the treatment that Naty is needful of and they watched over her till they were sure it was ok for her to return to the work God has called us too. She will continue these treatments for another four months. At that time, God willing, we will have the treatments behind us. We humbly ask each of you to pray that the treatments will have the desired effect. We also ask you to pray with us that God will provide all the resources necessary to pay the mounting medical bills from Naty's time in the hospital in the states.

Once we had arrived back in Romania we began immediate preparation for Easter. This year we were privileged not just to celebrate the Savior's resurrection in Bucharest, but also in Moldova. The Easter service at the International Church of Bucharest was celebrated with many who were coming to remember the victory Christ won on behalf of believers when He arose from the grave. This was an especially memorable day as we had a great crowd of children to celebrate in worship that day.

Immediately after Easter worship in Bucharest, we climbed in the car and made our way to Moldova where we celebrated Easter with our brothers and sisters there. This was an exciting time for us as we had the privilege to lead our brothers and sisters in both places in worship of our risen Lord. In Moldova Bill gave the Easter sermon, "A Reason To Celebrate". Those in attendance responded by celebrating resoundingly the Savior's resurrection. For us after many months away in the states we were thrilled to return and see the people in both places growing in their love for Christ.
