SARMALE PARTY

Here is Gina and her friends. They worked all day to help put together our Sarmale Fest. This is one of the strongest woman I know of. She has been so faithful to wait for God to change her husbands heart. When she began praying for her husband she just broke down. We had prayer for him asking God to bring him home to his wife and family. Pray for this that God may recieve the glory and honor when it happens.
We had a wonderful time last night at our Gypsy Sarmale party. Where it became more like a church service. The american team was very tired last night after six or seven hours of doing street evangelism. We worked in Zone 9 and found it to be the typical day...."I don't know where I am going when I die and I don't really care. I am Orthodox" I did have an interesting meeting with a man named Cornel that was saved a month ago. He jumped of a bridge trying to kill himself and decided on the way down that he didn't want to die. God spared his life and now he is on our side! He will begin coming to the apartment and learning the Bible making him our first potential leader from the harvest in Zone 9. We also had a very, good profitable meeting with a JW lady who had been faithful to attend for 24 years her cult and goes fives times a week to the services. We will meet again and seem to have already made some progress with her.








We sang Amazing Grace and I simply couldn't hold back the tears! We even had four of our national leaders /translators sing several beautiful songs for us.




Here is Alina and her disciple Gina (a different Gina) having a great time. This Gina was baptised recently, well actually the same time that Paula was, she had a wonderful time and when we took her home it looked like she was walking on air going up to her apartment.





Gina's Sarmale....The best Samarle in the whole world. She provided everything for us. It was a great night all the way around. I loved to see the nationals building relationships like this. The Americans bring a lot to the table also. They already know how to function as the Body of Christ and can demonstrate this to the nationals on the fly! I think that last night was the closest thing to a New Testament church service that I have ever attendend. It was exactly what I am shooting for may God in heaven breath life into the Valley. Pray for our Big Event tonight at the club. We are expecting many people there tonight.
