We have many needs for the ministries we're doing here. But the first and primary need we have is for the power of the Holy Spirit to work here. If He doesn't convict people of their sins, we won't have results. I'm counting on His power, and for this to come to pass, we need to be holy and humble in our lives. The spiritual and human needs of the people here are very real. We trust that if we work to meet these needs, the Lord will provide the material and financial needs in His good time.

I'd hope to see many people pray for us, I hope to see people coming here to work with us, but even more, I hope to see the Lord touch the people here. Pray with us for these things. - Raul

This year we had a successful meeting for women. Around 60 to 70 women attended, many of them non-Christians. Please pray that many of these women will continue to attend our small group meetings, and eventually come to receive Christ.

Pray specifically for these women for salvation: Anisioara, Jeni, Luminita,Florina and anothers.

Also please pray for sister Roxana as she works to spread the Gospel in schools and to the teachers. We would love to see many students and teachers accept Christ as their Savior.

There are many very poor families in this area, and in the last few months many of these have been asking for food, as they cannot afford enough food themselves. We prayed about this and the Lord led us to this verse, "I was hungry and you fed me." We understood that we are to care for and feed these people. Currently we are able to provide these people approximately one meal per week, or some food they can take home. Our present system works for now, but it won't do as a long-term solution. There is over 80% unemployment in some areas, and we are looking for some one to invest in a business here. We're not sure what kind of business might work, but we know there is plenty of land to be had cheap, and the land is good for growing vegetables. We agree with the proverb, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for life."

Please pray for this project, and that someone with a good mind for business might see an opportunity here so we can give these people jobs and help them provide for themselves.
