LoganLetter #48
(November 2007)
With joy I write to all of our friends, supporters, and faithful brethren in Christ Jesus. The ministry has been graciously blessed this month by our heavenly Father. We have seen one of the ladies from Harman receive the Lord Jesus as her personal Saviour. Pray for Anca. She has a really hard life but has been faithfully attending the church with her young
daughter since we moved from the city. After months of hearing the Bible preached and some personal work, she nailed down her acceptance of God’s free gift of eternal life. This by itself is cause for rejoicing over our forced move from the city. God’s ways are perfect!
In this letter I wish to detail the work of the Lord in the hearts of one family in our church. Bro. Cornel, Mari, and daughter Priscila (pictured above) have been with our ministry for almost 2 years now. Cornel is very involved in our ministry. He plays piano and guitar, has taught Sunday school, is in the Bible Institute, preaches on the street, has led the village Bible study in Budila, helps in translating, and leads our ministry to the college students in Brasov. His wife is a sweet help and is very active in personal witnessing and leading people to Christ. The testimony of this family is that the Lord has taught them an extreme amount of truth since coming to our church. They both were believers when they came to us. Cornel was raised in a Pentecostal home and Mari was raised Orthodox. She was persecuted heavily by her family when she received Christ as Saviour through the ministry of Campus Crusade in Romania. When Cornel and Mari were married, they began working for Campus Crusade in Bucharest. They were then sent to Brasov where they began attending our church. Immediately they began growing like weeds, eating up the doctrinal and Biblical truth given them. Their ideas, doctrines, lifestyles, philosophies, and methods all began changing to conform to the light they were receiving. God began showing to them the necessity of the local church and many other things to which they were unaccustomed. We never pushed them. We had grace for them and allowed the Lord to lead and direct their paths as we loved them along the way. Last month, Cornel resigned Campus Crusade based solely upon his belief that his ministry should be under a local NT church and that liberal tendencies cannot lead to a true Christ-honouring life and ministry. GLORY TO GOD! Now listen, this was a sacrifice. In one month he lost over half of his income with the rest unsure at best. Up to this point we have not provided any income for him. All his services in the church have been for the Lord without renumeration. However, since he desires now to do all ministry under our local church, I think it would be a great blessing if his family were supported (at least partially) as national missionaries. He has proven himself to this point, is faithfully and actively serving the Lord, continues his training with us, and is a good candidate for future leadership. WOULD YOU PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER TAKING THIS FAMILY ON FOR SUPPORT? Any help would be large to them. I have never asked for my family but am glad to ask you to consider this family as national missionaries. Please do not hesitate to contact me (info. at left) with any questions. You may send any support to our regular missions address and write somewhere on it for the MOISUC FAMILY. He will gladly send monthly letters to you with ours if you so desire. Thank you for your prayers and consideration of them.
