Hello friends of the ministry!
There are a lot of things that happened over the summer. First and foremost, the Lord enlarged the ministry team to 4 families in just a period of 3 weeks. Praise the Lord! John and Charity Maury moved from Vladeasa, another couple, Dave and Lili Bunnell moved from Buzau and yet another couple that came to Cluj to start a maternity clinic have joined the team as well. Secondly the ministry opportunity increased. We have an open door in Gherla and we already did some counseling there and I think that it's a matter of time for the Lord to start a church there. We also have a house there that we can use for free to do ministry. We are also going to oversee the work in Vladeasa. So, in fact, Nicu and Silvana Hagiu are part of the ministry team as well! They are staying there in the region and Nicu took over John's responsibilities as the pastor. John and Charity felt that the Lord is leading them to Turn the ministry in Vladeasa over to Nicu and Silvana and that He is calling them to eventually move to Sweden. They don't know when will that happen but as they were considering the option of coming to Cluj as a transition period, Ken asked me to step aside and let John take the leadership of the team. Here in Cluj the students started coming back from vacation so, we'll be opening soon the cafe and the bookstore. Our rental contract is about to expire in a few weeks and we will need to move. We need a bigger place anyway. We found one on the same street that could fit as much as 50 people and right now we're waiting for the Lord to provide the money for the rent which is substantially bigger.
God bless,
Razvan

Hey guys!
I need to thank you all for your prayers. The Lord answered to them and provided us with a new location for the church. It is right in the heart of the area where all the student life takes place. It is so awesome how the Lord directed us to it and what's more exciting is that Satan tried to stand against us getting it and that means that he's afraid of the things that the Lord wants to accomplish there. But don't stop praying for further providence. We need the Spirit to overflow us, giving us power to witness, we need the strength to stay faithful, we need wisdom to approach the work with the students and we need patience and long suffering, cause we know that there will be further opposition. Pray also for the team that will come from Costa Mesa in May and pray for the outreach that they will do. Till next time!

Hey friends and family!
I realize that it was a long time since the last post, so I owe you some news. Seems like we skipped winter this year, we only had a double portion of rough autumn weather so far and right now spring is definitely breaking through. So, we'll be going to get out in the park again singing. So, pray for that. Last year we had a great time.
The study on Thursdays is in the same stage. The bros. from Sancrai are faithful to come but so far no one from outside came to it. It's true that we didn't advertise for it too much, we're waiting to rent a place. Pray for that cause rents are high and we are waiting for the Lord's provision for this.
There will be a team coming from Costa Mesa, that is in May, and they are set to do one on one evangelism. I am excited because I believe the Lord is about to start an awesome work through that. They will hit the streets every day sharing the gospel and inviting people to pizza and fellowship each night of their stay. So, pray for this outreach as you're led by the Lord. Pray for the Lord's provision for the team, safe trip and blessed time. Pray for provision for the outreach: we will need to rent a pizza place or so, we will need to rent a place fro church meeting/bible study and all the other details that right now are skipping my mind, but they won't skip the Lord's mind.
Till next time,
Agape

This Thursday we are going to study John 1:5-18 where John is talking about the effects of the Word's coming into the world and His mission here on earth. I don't know if you ever considered this but did you realize that light is the only element of creation that we're not told about that it was made, but we're just told that it was?
Continue to pray for a meeting place, for a sharper vision and for the anointing of the Spirit.

At the start!

Dear friends,
May the Lord fill you with His Spirit this new year and cause you to experience His grace and His peace that surpasses understanding.
We decided to start this log to give everybody a chance to enjoy with us God's work in Cluj and to sustain us in our ministry through your prayers.
Hopefully I will be able to keep it a meaningful source of information about us

Agape!
