Waiting for His Timing


Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
We have been waiting for what seems to be a long time. But in the last 5 days our strength has been renewed. We have been praying for God to open doors and send us help here in Bucuresti. Many of you who are praying with and for us have also asked the Father to bless us in these requests.
Let us start with last Saturday; Teresa was able to teach a Bible class in the Emanuel Church which is in Sector four of Bucuresti. And on the following Wednesday, today, I was able to work in the subway with a young man also from the Emanuel Church. These are the jobs God has called us to do, make disciples, by teaching and demonstrating how we try to reach the lost. We have been blessed by God. For a long time I (Randy) felt as if nothing was ever going to happen.
As for the man who worked with me, Alexandru, he is gifted much like the people we worked with in Galati. God had given us people who love Jesus and are willing to tell others about His love and amazing gift. This was Alexandru’s first time to work “on the street” although he said he had shared his faith with people on occasion before. It was a wonderful afternoon! We talked to about 40 people and were able to share the Good News with about 15 of them. We also came across about 5 believers! I am sure that I have never met that many believers on the street in one day ever before since we came to Romania.
Those of you who have been praying please continue to pray as you have been because God did a great deal of preparing for us. Many of the one’s we talked to were very concerned about their relationship with God. And those of you, who have not been praying for us, please join us. Your prayers are just as important to this ministry as ours are. Please pray as Jesus told us to;
These were His instructions to them: "The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. Pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest, and ask Him to send out more workers for His fields. Luke 10:2
Again thank you for praying, He answered many of those prayers today!
