Getting Things Started

Steve getting things "tuned up" at the first music session at the church. Steve told us later that this really is where he feels he is able to serve God best...

This small of kids showed up to have a tennis lesson this morning. It was reported to me later that they had a great time hitting some tennis balls.

Thought this was interesting...A construction site very near to the church where we are working in Bucharest.

I met this young man of 26 years of age in the park across from the church, his name is Ilie and he is in the military. There was a group of young men playing table tennis and Ilie wasn't who I was speaking with when he finished playing and sat down by Gabriel (young man I was sharing with). At first he seemed uninterested, but when Gabriel left he continued the conversation with perfect English (I used Share Jesus Without Fear with him)...He is searching for meaning to his life. He allowed me to quote scripture to him and then he answered what each one was saying. When I finished, I had shared the plan of salvation with him and when we talked about the "free gift" mentioned in Romans 6:23, and what it meant, the light bulb came on and as we discussed Romans 10:9 he began to see where he stood before a holy and righteous God. As we parted, he ask if I would e-mail him, and I got his address to do this. One of his friends that sat and listened to much of our conversation snapped the photo above. He said thank you and said he really enjoyed our talk...I will e-mail him and I hope he continues to search for meaning in his life.


Myself and Costel..He is always wearing this great smile every time I see him.
