Mission Trip to the Romania, Republic of Moldova & Ukraine November 29 th ± December 14 th, 2010

We cannot forget our country ever since God called us and blessed us withthe privilege of teaching the bible all over the world and do the charity work - it is

after visiting Romania and helping its people that we feel motivated and compelledto continue in this mission year after year by the Grace of God for about 55missions in Romania since 1990.This was possible only by the Grace of God

because He has provided abundantlytowards us to share with others. There is nobetter season to renew your commitment to

the work of the Lord than the winter holiday season when people give gifts toeach other. There is a great joy when you give the gift of Jesus Christ to othersbecause this gift truly makes a difference and lives on eternally. It changes lives of

men, women and children who choose to receive the gift of Christ. This gift hasan indescribable value to those that receive His gift.

"Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!" 2 Corinthians 9:15 [NKJV]

He gave us the right to become Children of God - "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to becomechildren of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of thewill of man, but of God." John 1:2-13 [NKJV]

Three years ago, God granted us the resources and put in our hearts to

help start a church building in Mitoc, Prut. In the month of November, Pastor

ViorelIgnat has called us and told us the dedication will be in December 4th

thisyear and he wants us to be part of that Joy. Together with my parents who have

traveled 17 times to and from Romania, we planned to make a mission trip inRomania with brotherPavelSav, Emanuel Margelu, and Daniel Turcoman. God hasgiven us the privilege to arrive safely in Bucharest and start the ministry even

there. We stopped at the Urziceni church and visited the ministry of CostelGramada (an old friend). We then visited a family who had a completely paralyzed member living with them formany years. We encouraged the family to receive the Lord Jesus the greatest gift that anyone can receive. After we

prayed and helped them, we departed and left them to the grace of our Lord Jesus. I met some of our team members inBucharest who delivered the documents to the minister of Romania for the project we are going to start. After hearing

the report of approval for the project, I was a little bit concerned about how we would complete such a big project. Godalways shows up when it is His will to do something to encourage us and give us direction. I received a word from Godthat night not to worry but to trust him as I have seen his hand at work during the years before I will see this again. Dueto the Romanian National Holiday, our plan to visit the Bucharest prison was cancelled. We departed toward northern

Romania as we drove on a very icy and snowy road, a belt from our car broke near the city of Marasest and we had tostay there a motel and find a belt. In the morning, the owner of the hotel came and welcomed us and we startedsharing with him the greatest gift which Jesus Christ life-changing. He was very open and we shared with him the love of

Christ for over an hour. The driver, who was working hard to change the belt, said it was because of the owner s need tohear the gospel that this happened to us. God has a purpose with everything be it good or bad. He works out His



sovereign will due to the fact that this man was a highly influential person in thattown. In the meantime the car was repaired and we departed with joy in our

hearts to continue towards northern Romania. We ministered in the churchesSfantulIlie, Dorohoi Church, Radauti Church, Vicov Church and others. As wetraveled to a mountainous area near the village of Nisisipiu we met the pastor

from the church in Nisisipiu and we learned something very interesting about thehistory of this church. In this village, people are addicted to alcohol, witchcraft

and other evil. Years ago, a church was burned by the evildoers in theiropposition to the Light of Christ. Christians from other villages helped to buildanother church but two years ago a big flood happened and destroyed the newproject completely. The president of the country TraianBasescu came to see the devastation of the flood and met with

the victims and questioned the ruins. People answered and said there was a Pentecostal church being built to which heresponded, I want a Pentecostal church rebuilt in another place. The Christian brothers were discouraged to continuebuilding again because of the previous experience and they concluded there was no resolution but God spoke through

the president who had no affairs in the matter. They started building again and the church was completed. Years ago Ispoke with one brother who was originally from that area MihaiZunichi who currently lives in Arizona, US. He askedme what can be done regarding evangelism of Nisisipiu and I told him the only way that somebody would move and live

the life of Christ, this would challenge the people. During the time of flooding, the news was spread all over and a familyfrom Bucharest saw the devastation. God put in their hearts to go there and begenerous. When they arrived in Nisisipiu and saw the area, they were compelled

to move there and minister to the village people. God fulfilled that desire that Ihad for a family to move there years ago. Now this family lives in the church

apartment and God moves in their ministrywith signs and miracles. I heard manytestimonies from this pastor on how God

has blessed and challenged certainsituations miraculously. Praised be His

name.

The dedication of the church in Mitoc Prut had great impact on the lives

of its village. The entire village was invited. The mayor had a speech and he washighly impressed by the service and the atmosphere of God s presence reallytouched his heart. He apologized during his speech for having a negative perspective regarding the Pentecostal

Christians because he was indoctrinated with atheism from the Communist party and never paid attention during thepast twenty years of opportunity to have a relation with Christ. This was the day when the vice mayor committed his lifeto Jesus Christ. Other people were touched by the presence of God. We helped some people in poverty with money.

We crossed the border from Radauti Prut that night and headed to the

Republic of Moldova. After a few hours, we arrived in the village of Corjauti. Wewere invited by Pastor VasileAntoci to preach in his church. This church is built ontop of a mountain hill and can be seen from far away. It is like it is described in

the book of Mica 4:1 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that themountain of the LORD s house shall be established on the top of the mountains,

And shall be exalted above the hills; And peoples shall flow to it. Mica 4:1

[NKJV].This was a testimony of God s power and grace, because the church used tobe in the valley during the communist movement. We preached to this church



and visited also the bible school and helped them with some money. On this trip, I met VasileAsimonese, a very oldfriend who used to come to the states in 1993. He is currently a mayor in the village of Balasinesti.

The next day, we ministered to the prison of Botosani to about 100

inmates and helped them with some goods. I was able to visit a friend who is aninmate in this prison, TcaciucSeverin. We encouraged him to remain strong in theLord Jesus Christ. Together with my father, I had a trip to the village in which I was

born, Satu Mare. People were very happy to see him. My parents agreed todonate the house to the Blessed Hope Mission as an asset to be used towards theGlory of God in future ministries. We prayed that God will give us a purpose for it

and bless others.

Visiting the sick in their homes and pray for their healing was anotherpurpose in this trip. I remember one place where we held a prayer for healing for

a woman that got married in September

2010 and now both her kidneys failed. Weprayed for her restoration. A brother alsohad a vision and a word of knowledge

regarding the project the Lord showed hima miniature version of our project coveredwith plastic that I could barely see through.

The Lord said to start by faith even though Ido not see clearly because He will bring other people to this project and I willrejoice because of the completion and that I can see it. When the right word

penetrates your heart at precisely the right time, something supernatural happens.

You change more in a single moment than you changed in years. It s likethere is a special grace in your life and what you have been praying for and

believing for hits you all at once. This gave me another confirmation that theproject is according to the will of God. And as soon as we arrived to the states, Isent the money for the steel material to be purchased. This was truly amazing

and I am thrilled to be able to share it with you now even before I see this project.Since the very day we started this ministry, I have dreamed of being used by Godto bring freedom and new life in Jesus to as many people as we can. We need

help and faith to accomplish it and will also be able to help others.We continuedpraying that night in one church from 7 PM to about 1 AM and departed toward Ukraine afterward.

We arrived in Ukraine in Kamenka village around 4 AM and rested a few hours. In our team were a few brothers

that the Lord used them mightily with a prophetic ministry. Acsenti Dorel, Jonerciuc Anton, MazareanuDanut andMoloceniucFilon. We ministered to the church in Kamenka, Bahrenesti and Ijesti. The brothers from Ukraine are veryfriendly and open to the word of God. God worked mightily among them and the plans of the devil were revealed to theprophets of our team. We prayed that the work of the devil to be destroyed and people freely and happily serve the

Lord. Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that Hemight deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. Galatians 1:3-5 [NKJV] . Brother PavelSav and Emanuel Margelu crossed the CarpatiMountains and ministered

to the church of Cluj, Zalau and Timisoara while we were in Ukraine. They were also able to minister to the prison inTimisoara. We met again in Germany where we boarded our flight to the states.
