Update May 21

We continue to have great attendance in our Brasov services. There begins also to be more interest from young adults in the Zarnesti work. We have been having visitors in the Feldioara services. In Harman we have been having great response. We still have three who are waiting baptism.

Bro. Jim Black, his son Kevin, Amy and I, took many materials to the camp the week before last. We were getting ready for a work group that was coming from Westwood in Florida with Doug Weirsema. They arrived last week and were able to accomplish a lot. We appreciate their hard labors.

Last week I made the order for our new camp generator. It will arrive in three weeks. This new generator is large enough to take care of all our electrical needs and then some. We truly appreciate those who contributed to help us purchase this much needed piece of equipment.

We are now gearing up for VBS. We are looking forward to having a group of 13 from our sending church come on June 22nd. They will be helping us with some VBS services plus several evangelistic outreaches. Pray that souls will be saved!

Tomorrow, we are waiting the arrival of Katherine Grimes. Katherine is the daughter of Brother Jerry Grimes. She will be spending part of the summer here with us, working with Sister Kim and the Humanitarian Ministry.

Great News! Luci and Dana signed the final papers to adopt Antonia. Antonia is now legally their daughter. Also, as I write this update, Dana is in the hospital giving birth to their first baby girl. Luci and Dana have been an important part of our work here.

Well this should catch us up for now. We love each of you. Keep us in your prayers.

Busy, Busy, Busy

I'm sorry that I haven't updated everyone for a while. We have been super busy over the last few weeks. During the first of April, I was blessed to attend a Missionaries Men's Retreat hosted by Mike Rogers and his family in Targujiu. They did a great job hosting the retreat. Attending were Missionaries from here in Romania and from Albania and Scotland.

We hosted our Bible Institute's Spring Bible Conference here at Brasov. Our guest speaker was Brother Carroll Kinley who pastors Cedar Grove Baptist Church in Cave City Arkansas. The conference was well attended and Bro. Kinley did an outstanding job preaching. His subject was the Harmony of the Gospels. After the conference we took Brother and Sister Kinley to Greece to follow Paul's second missionary journey through Greece. Bro. Jim Black and his wife Sherri went along with us. We had a great time of fellowship and enjoyed seeing Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens and Corinth all in four days. One moment I enjoyed the most was standing on Mars hill in Athens and reading Paul's message on Mars hill from Acts 17.

The last two Sundays have been fruitful. We saw one of our ladies who has attended Brasov church for over two years request baptism. Last Sunday there were three more ladies saved and requested baptism along with a couple from Harman who requested baptism. We will have a baptismal service this coming Sunday. Also we will be celebrating our four year anniversary as a church here in Brasov. Brother Randy Cloud and his wife Sandra are visting with us this week. Brother Randy will be our speaker for the day. We plan a whole day of worship, praise and fellowship. Brother Randy will be speaking tonight at our mission in Harman. Continue to pray for the work here. We are enjoying the blessings of the Lord. Pray for more souls saved and more lives surrendered to the will of God.

In Christ's Service
