Galati starting fairly smooth

Hello Prayer team,

We had our first day of ministry here in Galati [Gah-lots], Romania, and it went fairly well. The first day of ministry is always a little hectic, but we have worked many years in Galalti so the two mother churches know the ministry well.

Today I tagged along with the Emanuel team to the village of Sendreni. We had an interesting morning. We met the mayor and he welcomed us warmly to the village (which is not normal). We also met a guy who was voluntering in the mayor's office who spoke English. We found out later he was a believer and is a member of a church in the city, he has many ministry oppotunities in the village because of his good relationship with the mayor. He (Viorel) took us around town and showed us many projects that the town had started and were planning on starting. One of the highlights was when Nadine Breiner was able to present the Gospel to 23 kids at a day center. The other highlight was getting to encourage Viorel by praying with him for money to build some houses for impoverished people.

The schedule has been changed a little for the trip because it is soooooo hot in the afternoons the team is resting from 1 to 4 and then going back out. So today when we went back out we had some great visits, and divine appointments. This lady was about to pass us by when Nadine Breiner felt the Spirits prompting us to talk to her. At first she was hung up on thinking good works could get you to heaven, but after some talking and sharing God's word she prayed to receive Christ as her Lord and Savior.



As far as health our team is doing much better thanks for praying, and everyone seemed to sleep well last night, but continue to pray that the team is able to sleep through the night. Speaking of, I should head to bed so I am well rested for tomorrow. Thanks for your prayers! More to come!


Agape,
Chris
