Easter--Resurrection Sunday

“For you shall go out with joy,

 And be led out with peace; 

The mountains and the hills 

Shall break forth into singing before you, 

And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

                                   -Isaiah 55:12

Our Easter here in Romania was a week later than normal as most of Romania follows the Orthodox calendar. We had a great time celebrating Resurrection Sunday with the family. 

During the Easter weekend we joined the Easter procession through Bistrita along with the other evangelical churches.

Our family

A witness to the Light

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

We enjoyed our time in the village this afternoon. After Bible study and teaching some of the kids a few songs, the kids enjoyed spending some time playing games. All too soon it was time to leave as we have a couple more weeks of school and the kids have to get up on time. Here a few pictures from our afternoon in Pintic.

Two days before Easter one of the houses burned to the ground. Everyone was able to get out safe, but they lost everything. Please pray for Victor and his family as they have nothing. They are currently staying with his wife's relative in one of the two rooms that make up her house. They have five children. Pray that others in his village would come together and help this family. Pray that God would use this to change the hearts of the people in this village. Pray that God uses the Bible study to change their hearts to follow Jesus.

We thank the Lord for all the much needed rain that we have had over the last week and a half. Pray for a beautiful sunday afternoon as we once again head to the village. We will be sharing from John 1:6-13. Be in prayer with us as we go. Pray for open ears and soft hearts to hear, change, and follow our Lord and Savior. Pray each of us that go, those that come, that we will be used, heard, and understood.
Thank you for your prayers. God bless each one of you.
