it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped,
and all the world may become guilty before God.

Romans
3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith,
it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped,
and all the world may become guilty before God.
THAT WILL BE A
GREAT DAY
When every
mouth is stopped and all the world stands guilty before God…oh what a day that
will be. Well, the only way we can assist in
bring that day about is to preach the gospel in all the world. We are pleased to be numbered among those who are
doing that.
ALL TRACTED
As the new year
turned we completed the task of placing a tract in every door or mailbox in Brasov,
Romania. When you add to this population the
surrounding communities of Sanpetru, Bod, Harman, Tarlengen, Budila, Noah and Sacele which
we have also completed the total number would be upwards of 400,000. In this respect we have this blood off of our
hands and we praise the Lord.
MISSIONS
CONFERENCE
A vital
functioning organ of any church must be an effective missions plan. We have introduced missions to our church here by
way of a missions conference. We brought in
missionaries from three countries, we even brought in Jonathan Pasqual from Philippines. During the conference we held a street meeting on
the square in Brasov and the gospel was preached in five different languages. We taught
our people on Biblical missions giving and they responded in a miraculous way. Our church here now has a very respectable
missions commitment and is maintaining that commitment faithfully. Praise the Lord.
We now support five missionaries with a commitment of $8,000 per year. Another major step in becoming indigenous.
ORDAINED ELDER
Cornel Moisuk
and his family have been an important part of our church now for five years. They have two of the sweetest and cutest girls
under 4 years of age that you have ever seen. Cornel
graduated from our Bible Institute and is now full time in the ministry with us. Cornel is
a good man for anyone to have but we get the blessing and privilege of his multiple
talents. Cornel can play three musical
instruments, he can draw with great ability, he can preach, teach, sing and he can
organize and administrate. We were honored to
ordain Cornel as the first elder of
The SWAT TEAM
made a five week missions trip to the Philippines. I
preached 35 times in 34 days plus 20 street meetings.
I preached in many churches, Christian school, Bible institute, villages, to
345 soldiers in military exercise, to police, on radio, youth meeting and prisons. I led a publick ministry march of over 100 through
the busy streets of Baguio city filled with Christmas Eve shoppers. I preached on four islands, in seven cities plus
villages to countless ears the gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ. Only the Lord can
truthfully tally the results of all of this. Thanks
for your prayers on all of this.
One of the main
purposes for the trip to the Philippines was to bring Mary and her birth family back
together. What a time we had after 16 years
of no physical contact. They are all
Christians so the fellowship was rich and God
honoring. Mary met her grandmother who is a
born again Christian and who testified that her parents were also born again Christians
which makes Mary a fourth generation Christian. Mary’s
father plays guitar and we all sat around and sang the Lord’s songs and our conversations were all about the blessings of
the Lord upon both of our families.
FIRST EVER
FURLOUGH
We have been
classified as missionaries now for 24 years. We
have NEVER taken a furlough. We plan to take
a four-month furlough from September through December of 2011. We will be staying mainly in Texas with our home
church Capital City Baptist in Austin. If you
would like to have us in your church just contact us via our US Vonage phone at
850-208-3773. This phone charges you for a US
call but rings in Romania. Remember we are 7
hours AHEAD of Eastern Time.

Christ.
