Blessings to all the faithful in Christ Jesus,

 We praise the Lord for His goodness and mercy toward us this past month, and thank each of you who have lifted us up in prayer and/or finances.  We have no complaints.  God is good! 

The picture above represents a portion of the great need and goal for our missionary pursuits.  According to II Timothy 2:2, it is our job to reach and teach men who will be faithful to carry on the work of the Lord without us.  The men above are 4 new graduates of the Eastern European Institute of the Bible.  Pray that these men will be faithful and fulfill the will of God and the Lord’s work in Romania.  Every city, area, and country desperately needs men that know and have the ability to preach what these men have been taught.  They have been taught the Bible and its doctrines, manuscript evidence, eschatology, truths of the local church, how to prepare a message, how to preach, how to deal with every major cult and false doctrine in the world, dispensational truth, Old Testament survey, New Testament survey, evangelism, street ministry, and practical Christianity for their personal lives.  Besides the weekly verse- by-verse preaching in our local church, these men have had almost 2 years of personal instruction put into them.  Give me 100 men like this, and the Lord will change Romania.  Each of them will have to live up to what they have been taught just as all of us.  Each one of them has faults and weakness as we all do.  Yet, the hope of multitudes depends upon their faithfulness and right heart JUST AS IT DOES WITH YOU.  Pray for them!  Pray for more.  We graduated one other man in June of 2007 (Bro. Peter Horghidan pictured right) who is still serving faithfully in our church in Brasov.  God only knows where

the other men are that God wants to use.  There must be more in Romania and                 

in other parts of Eastern Europe.  We are ready to find them and feed them.

Good missionaries seek to work themselves out of a job.  The men we have

trained are presently active in teaching, preaching, translating, and song leading.

In the future, they must pastor, serve, evangelize, build their own church, and

reproduce themselves on their own.  Pray for the fruition of this!

 We are happy to report that our Brasov Independent Baptist Church continues to receive many visitors each week.  Pray that they will stay around long enough for God to work in their hearts.  The church here is saturating the city with gospel literature despite the winter weather.  Our printing ministry is busily printing tracts and Bibles this month and will soon be in need of some new machinery because of the extended use.  The Lord has also opened up a new ministry for our church each week at a local orphanage.  Two boys have already made professions of faith of having received Christ as Saviour.  May Jesus Christ be praised and exalted for all of these things!

 Still looking for “able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness” (Ex.18:21),
