Busy Summer

I have been very busy with teams here from FBC Cameron, Missouri and from Cane Creek Stoddard Association headquarters in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. I was leaving the house at about 8:30 AM and getting back home many times at 11 PM. Usually I would get an hour or so off in the afternoon. The temperature has been near 100 F for several days. Teresa usually went out in the mornings with us. She would stay at home in the afternoon. Many evenings she would rejoin the teams. The morning was spent prayer walking, asking God to guide us and open peoples hearts and minds so that we could share the Good News with them. I took care of errands in the afternoon and in the evening we would “Share Jesus Without Fear”.

Now that the teams have gone, Bogdan and I were able to take some of the people who attend meetings in the valley to the clinic in Braila for dental work. The Serving HIM ministry has a clinic there at affordable prices. We have funding from the “Romanian Yard Sale”, which is a Poplar Bluff area ministry, we use for the cost at the dental clinic. We took three ladies this trip; this is about a thirty minute drive from the valley in Galati.
Bogdan and I were able speak with the Executive Director of Serving HIM, Mike Redeker, who has a heart for helping the people we work with. He is in contact with HIS Bridgebuilders whom Bogdan is working with to improve the living conditions for the believers in the valley. Daniella, who is a member of team Galati, a lady from 89 Dogarei Street, and Sorena’s Grandmother went with us. We thank you for being able to get this care. God is blessing us through you. Teresa and I would not be able to be here without your prayers. We would not be here at this time if you didn’t give to the Cooperative Program and the Lottie Moon offering at your SBC Churches. The clinic is here because Serving Him gives of their time and money for people they have never met.

Paul expresses himself better that I can:
{Paul's Request for Prayer}
(1) Finally, dear brothers and sisters, I ask you to pray for us. Pray first that the Lord's message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as when it came to you. (2) Pray, too, that we will be saved from wicked and evil people, for not everyone believes in the Lord. (3) But the Lord is faithful; he will make you strong and guard you from the evil one. (4) And we are confident in the Lord that you are practicing the things we commanded you, and that you always will. (5) May the Lord brings you into an ever deeper understanding of the love of God and the endurance that comes from Christ.

Just two sinners saved by grace, Randy and Teresa
