Running Between Romania & Moldova

Once we returned from our recent trip to Belgium for the International Baptist Conventions Annual Meeting we immediately began to prepare for the work ahead of us in Moldova. The first week of this month we spent teaming up with other pastors and leaders from around the world (Brazillia, Brazil; Tacoma, Washington; Eastern Pennsylvania) in an evangelistic project in Moldova. The projected was sponsored by leaders from the International Baptist Convention. It was a great week as the gospel was shared with many all throughout the southern part of Moldova. We praise God for the decisions that were made for Christ during this wonderful week of evangelism.

Recently many of the women of our church started a new outreach program for woman of infants and toddlers in our community. They are trying to provide a weekly time when these mothers can get a few hours to go into the city to do what they could not do unless they had some trustworthy help with their children. After our time in Moldova, one of the reasons we hurried back to Bucharest was to assist with this new ministry.

A NEW OPPORTUNITY

Recently we had the opportunity to meet a man from Pakistan who is currently in Romania finishing his medical degree to become a licensed physician. He came to us to learn whether or not we might be able to help him become better prepared to minister to his people back home once he returns. We are excited about this possibility and we are praying that God might make this possible to work with Sajjad as he not only prepares to minister to peoples physical needs in Pakistan, but also to their spiritual needs. Please pray along with us about this possibility.
