I read Matthew 9:38 with great appreciation. We are praying for more workers.
I am also asking for wisdom and discernment on a church in Babadag.
Last week I organized the prayer meeting at Paul's church. We prayed through scripture then took time to pray for everyone that showed up. A father son pair came. The two of them praying for each other will do much for their relationship. The father was baptized just last summer.
Andrea (translator and ministry partner) and I met with Alice. Andrea came up with a great idea to help Alice. Andrea brought an English memory verse book. Alice reads then translates the verse and we talk about what it means. I believe the Word is living and active and will convict Alice. It is only a matter of time now. Please pray for Alice. Also Andrea shows great initiative on many things. We have some plans for working with the general population of Babadag that we are praying about.
Thursday I taught an English lesson and met some new kids that were interested in what kind of beer and women I liked. Yep I love the ministry.
Sheena led the Bible study with Anca. We started Philippians. I can see Sheena leading a woman's circle group in the future.
We invited 8 kids to our house for a get together. Sheena is a good host and very forgiving. I usually only give her a few hours heads up that people are coming over. She gets mad for about two seconds then starts planning. (she loves it) It is just nice to show them that we are not that strange.
It feels like most of what we do is preparing for the future. Language, building relationships, making an actual plan and steps for bring the Gospel here takes a lot of time and effort. So we are praying what is happening now lays a good foundation for life-changing ministry.
Thanks for reading and praying.
