Dear Pastors, Friends and Supporting Churches,                                                         May & June 2010

      Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.[Col.3:15,16] We rejoice in the goodness of the Lord and we are reminded that his faithfulness is new every morning. Paula had a small surgical procedure this last Monday and all went well, Praise the Lord! They sent off a biopsy and we certainly hope that all will come back well; we should know the results within a few weeks. Helen is doing fairly well with her diabetes and we praise the Lord for his mercy toward her. Helen and Andrea have been taking part in the Vacation Bible School here at the Church in Cluj and it has gone very well. Today we took 36 children and 7 workers to a nice picnic at the edge of the city where the forest begins. Helen and Andrea will be participating in two other camps that will be held later in other places so their summer will be very full.

         Praise the Lord for five more adults that have received the Lord in San Mihaiu Almasului since we last sent you our bi-monthly report. Four of them are part of one family, the Kereje’s; their names are Traian- the father, Bori- the mother, Cristi- their son, and Roxanna- their daughter-in-law, also Mr.Calin a close neighbor of theirs received the Lord last week and his wife Ludovica is very open to the Gospel. Please pray for her salvation. Another lady Maria who received the Lord several months ago has been unsettled about her salvation and has put off baptism. She told me this week that she will get baptized soon. Many of these people have been taught that you shouldn’t receive baptism until you have been catechized and know that you are walking right. This false teaching gives us a lot of grief but we have to be patient with the people as they slowly open to the truth. Hopefully these six adults will be baptized soon. We have decided on a property that will cost 15000 Ron or $4285.00 approx. It will probably cost us $1000 more to get the transfer of ownership all legal. I should know for sure in two more weeks. If we cannot buy it because of legal complications, we have a second property picked out as a prospective buy. We would like to start building by late summer or early fall if the Father so wills. Please pray with us that the rest of the resources will come in soon. I do praise the Lord for $1500 that came in for June. We will need about $45,000 more to complete the building.

        God has blessed the prison ministry in Aiud and we are having two Bible classes on Thursday instead of one. 13-15 men are in one class and 9-10 in the other. This Thursday we had the sweet spirit of the Lord very present and the men were very attentive to the Word in both classes. May the Lord richly bless you all as you continue to support the work with prayers and finances.
