Zone 2 hit by the "A" Team
Unofficial Count for Zone 2 Pressure Points is now at 6 + 10 for Prayer Walking along with around 25 encounters using SJWF for another 50 points. Total for Zone 2 is a total of 66 pressure points. This was definently over 75 people that heard the Gospel and actually closer to 100. It was a great day for Operation Blackout. Tomorrow we pick up Justin and Marty. I will dirve to Bucharest late tomorrow night. They land 12:10 midnight. The team will hit Zone 3 and then go to a prayer meeting at Holy Trinity that night followed by a soccer match. Cameron vs. Romania pray for Cameron..
Operation BlackOut Galati Romania
We hit Zone 1 yesterday and Zone 2 today. In just an hour and half we will go to Zone 2 again and hit the street. We had a very interesting encounter today that I will spare those back home whom are praying -keep praying is the real need!
I am trying to use this team to develop a "pressure chart". This would be a way to determine the amount of pressure we are REALLY putting on a Zone. Step One is Prayer Walking so for every hour a "team of three" Prayer Walks they get one point. Step Two is Share Jesus Without Fear so for every person that they open the BIBLE with a team of three receives two points. Step three is teach one lesson so that would be three points for a team of three. Then Form One Group would be four points as it is the fourth step.
So far this team has 4 points in Zone 6, 8 Points in Zone 4 and yesterday racked up 36 points in Zone 1 and already has 8 points in Zone 2 before hitting the streets this evening. This will prove to be the very best thing that the team from FBC leaves behind. A method to determine the effectiveness of our efforts. We will continue to use this method after they leave. It will be a way to show them many great things about Church Planting. More teams more points. More step accomplishes more points. This will also show us where an area is more receptive. Well, we must go...all is well. PTL.
Zone 1 = 36 Points "July 7th'
Zone 2 = 8 points Prayer Walking with more to come in just one hour!

Romanian American Missions RAM
RAM came and is working in Galati this week. They have been in several villages this week. They have also encountered many problems from the Orthodox Priests there. But they were able to get through that problem and saw quite a few people. Today really went very well. They ran a very simple but effective clinic. They presented the Gospel to every person that they could and many "repeated" prayers of repentance. Pray that the Word will take root somewhere in the lives of those that prayed so that they can be "Born Again" some day. This team was run by Bob Jackson who has been coming to Romania and Moldova for many years. They are very committed to church planting here. I personally haven't worked with them as they have been centered out of Braila in the past.
Many people from the valley came to the clinic. There are many stories that were told. So many of their stories just breaks your heart. I would imagine that they had over 100 or so go through the clinic as they ran from 10:30 clear to 17:30. Randy stayed with them all day and did a great job of just serving. So praise the Lord for this team with a heart to serve the people in the valley. May God give them strength as they minister tomorrow up at the big church.
