This picture was taken by my son Andrew sometime early 2005 when we were prayer walking Zone 6. It is the home of some of the poorest people in all of Romania. After prayer walking the city three times I sensed that God was leading me to begin work in the “valley” as the locals call it. I call it Zone 6 according to my plan. This particular lady allowed me to give her six Bibles (of which she probably sold later!). I didn’t have a translator with me but I could ask questions like: “Do you know where you will go when you die?” “Do you have a Bible in your house?” “Do you read your bible?” Would you like a Bible Study in your house?” Well, I took this picture and didn’t return to the valley for almost two months. We had to go to the states for the months of April and June in 2005. While we were there in Poplar Bluff they wrote a news paper article on the work we were doing in Galati. This picture appeared on the front page of the Daily American Republic Thursday June 16th ,2005. We early on just referred to her as the DAR lady.
Our church, Living Word Baptist, was planning a mission trip to Galati in the month of September. We didn’t know what to expect! Well , Teresa Myeres, who would be on the September Team cut this picture out of the paper and began to pray daily for this lady, while at work. After arriving on September 4th, she was able to do a short Bible study from the National Bible Reading Campaign with Leunta (Lenootza). Then only two lessons later, Lenuta gave her life to Christ on September 7th, 2005. Not so long after that her daughter, a young 21 year old lady named Valerica also gave her life to Christ. Two years later, you can imagine how excited Teresa is now , knowing that Lenutsa is waiting to see her again in just one month… this time for the third year in a row. Pray as we try and find a way to start a church in the valley as others are waiting to hear the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. We are just “sinners saved by grace” being used by a merciful God in a magnificent way!
