Pretty Feet

This morning July 15, Randy, Whitney, Larissa and I prayer walked zone 15, located at the north end of Galati, not far from the large Metro store. Actually zone 15 is more like a small village, it certainly has a 'you're out in the country' feel to it.

Down at the base of a large drop off there are train tracks which are visible in the picture above.
Adjacent to the tracks is Lacul Brat (Lake Brat). This is a very large lake.

On previous visits to zone 15 we noticed the majority of the people living in this area appeared to be senior citizens. However, there were several young school age children running and playing in the community. We learned from a conversation with one of the residents that the younger adults who live in the village have gone to other countries to find work and left their children behind with the grandparents. This same situation occurs all over the city of Galati as more and more people are leaving Romania to look for work.

There is something very unusual about zone 15. There is no Orthodox Church in the village. Normally there is a church on every corner. An Orthodox Priest does live in the village. We have not done a lot of work in zone 15 other than prayer walk and hand out gospel tracts. This is new territory for us. We are certain it is no different than any other area in the city we have worked. No doubt these people are lost and desperately need to hear the Good News about Jesus Christ and His free gift of salvation.

Please pray for us as we continue to venture into zone 15, show them the love of Jesus and take the opportunity to Share Jesus Without Fear with the lost.

Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?

Rom 10:15 How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
