Spring Newsletter 2022

Joyful greetings from Romania! He is risen!

 

As you have already celebrated Resurrection Sunday in certain parts of the world, here in Romania we are entering the Passion week, according to the Orthodox calendar. For the born-again Christian, our Savior is alive forevermore! This is the great news that we are privileged to share with everyone, even in the midst of the turmoil, restlessness, and uncertainty we are surrounded by every day!

 

Unswerving hope and lasting peace is being spoken into the lives of our dear Ukrainian friends who lost everything and left all they held dear behind, as well as to the nationals who are tirelessly opening their hearts and their homes to receive them. It is amazing to see how many of those who thought they were so poor and underprivileged before are now caring for others even more unfortunate than them!

As ugly as this war is, God is being made known through His miracles among those who trust in Him, through the kindness of those who are helping those in need, through the long trips to the middle of Ukraine carrying supplies for those who remained to fight or are unable to leave, and through the message of hope shown by every believer.

 

In many cities and towns, there are new Ukrainian church programs established, Bibles given in their own language, and the blessings of God are experienced by both those who give and those who receive.

 

Here in Baneasa, we are hosting mothers with children who are planning on staying long-term, as well as those who need temporary shelter as they are transitioning to other countries. Mike has been taking loads of food, medical supplies, and personal care items to churches in Ukraine, who in turn are delivering them to the area where help is needed the most. It was a great joy to lead these precious ladies and others to the Lord and integrate them into our Baneasa family!

 

The border crossing points are still overwhelmed with great numbers of people, although the excitement and the resources to help are slowly dwindling as people begin to feel the hardship of receiving more refugees. The increasing cost of energy, groceries, fuel, etc., are being felt by everyone.

Spring is opening new areas of ministry for us, such as well digging to supply water to those lacking this basic commodity! Mike has been trying workers and exploring the best methods to penetrate the deep rocky layers in the ground to reach fresh water!

 

This summer, we are making the necessary plans to construct a building that will serve as an auditorium/multipurpose room for the Ostrov church plant. We are constantly filled with gratitude for you who are praying and sharing with us so we can continue the work we were assigned to accomplish in God's kingdom! 

Please pray with us for all these needs:  Let's pray for a stop to the invasion and for strength to meet the needs around us!

  • Pray for wisdom and direction of the world leaders.
  • Pray for those who have been dislocated and for their families left behind.
  • Pray for our continued work to minister in our region and for the church plant in Ostrov.

 

Our prayer for you is that the Lord will guide you, protect you, and fill you with all wisdom, power, and strength as you remain steadfast in obedience to Him.

 

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Gal. 6:9. Because the harvest is plentiful, our faithful Lord will provide the workers as we pray!

 

Love,
