It feels good to be back in Romania. This is my 4^th Mission trip in this great country. God has given me the privilege of coming here and sharing in KINGDOM work with some very faithful Followers of Jesus Christ!

On this first day in the village of Sanger, we have much to do. We are going to be building a New facility on the property now owned by the small group of Faithful Believers who make up the church of Jesus Christ in this village. Over a year ago, God provided this struggling group of Believers with a piece of property for their very own. Before, they were meeting in a dance hall and were many times told they couldn’t use the facility. I returned from one of our trips and shared with some people how this small group was struggling. A precious and generous Christ-Follower gave the money for this property to be purchased for the church. I cannot tell you how elated these people were. They wept, praised and worshiped God for His goodness to them.

There was a small house already on the property and this is where the church now meets. A few weeks ago we sent some money to have the foundation constructed so it would be ready to build on once we arrived. We were also able to send some more money last week to purchase building supplies. The materials are on the job site so we are ready to get started putting up the walls of this new facility that will house this faithful band of Believers.

We ask for your prayers for safety as our guys work together with these Romanian Believers to build the physical house of God in this village! Pray for open lines of communication so that there will be continuity between the building they want and the expertise of our construction team. In America we build things differently so we want to do our best to understand what they want. They have a plan but it is different than what we are used to.

It will take a little time this morning to get our heads together with the Pastor and People so that we can have UNITY in this building project. We desire your prayers for this project and for the testimony we share with the people in this village while working on the House of the Lord! Pray for our relationship with the believers and those who do not understand what Christ has done for the world! And, pray that God will grant me the opportunity to share with the Orthodox Priest in this village once again. I met him the last time I was here and shared the Gospel with Him. He told me himself that no one could be sure about going to heaven! May the Holy Spirit draw Him to the Cross of Christ so that he can be saved!

Everyone is doing great!
