Jam 1:27 What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is this: to take care of orphans and widows in their suffering and to keep oneself from being corrupted by the world.

Spend Your Time Serving God

Tonight Bogdan called and asked me if I would like to go with him to a Bible study, I said “sure”. That Bible study has taken me back to the joy where I need to be. Bogdan and Paula had met with this young couple yesterday, and the lady had prayed to God that she wanted Jesus to be Lord in her life. Tonight Bogdan and I had the first lesson from the People Who Knew Jesus booklet. It was great! The lesson was all in Romanian and I didn’t understand 1% of what was said, but the Spirit of God filled that home. I was so blessed to be there! This young couple does not have anything, but the joy in that home was overwhelming!

This is what Jesus said:

Matt.(18) Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth. (19) Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. (20) Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

If you do this, you do not have time for anything else.

Choose You This Day

Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; … but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

This week while running errands, I received a phone call from the big Baptist Church on Cosbuc Street, Holy Trinity. The call came from the office of the missionary from Romania, Cristina. She asked me if I had time to come by her office and speak with an American who was asking questions about her visa for Romania.

Roland and I were close by and dropped in to speak with the young lady. She was an American, there with her Romanian boy friend. After a short conversation we explained what we (Cristina, Roland, and I) knew about the visa process. At that point I told them that there was something much more important than getting the visa, that is “where are you going when you die?”

Then the talk about religion started. She explained she was a devout Catholic, he was an Orthodox, and that only God knows who will go to Heaven. I knew this would to be the only chance I would ever get to speak to these two young people so, I spoke these words which came from 1 John 3:8.

1Jo 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.

I explained to them how John was talking about continually sinning or doing something over and over that they knew was wrong. I explained to them that everyone does sin, but those who “follow” Christ do not continue in sin. Then I asked them, “Which religion saves you?” The young man was quick to answer “ Orthodoxy”. Before his Catholic girl friend could get real mad at him I said “Jesus Saves, not religion.”

I am writing this because Teresa was reading today about what happens when we do what we think is right. Please don’t be caught on the day you are judged by God playing by your rules, His rules are the only ones that matter, live by them!

“He said, ‘Take now your son…’” (Genesis 22:2)

God’s command is, “Take now,” not later. It is incredible how we debate! We know something is right, but we try to find excuses for not doing it immediately. If we are to climb to the height God reveals, it can never be done later--it must be done now. And the sacrifice must be worked through our will before we actually perform it. (Taken from “My Utmost For His Highest”), by Oswald Chambers




Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Feed My Sheep

Joh 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
Joh 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
Joh 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.


Although unaware, the disciples were “on-the-job” training as Jesus spoke these words to them. Jesus was preparing them to be ready when His time was at hand. He wasn’t talking about physical food, it was spiritual nourishment, leadership and guidance Jesus was referencing.

Every time Randy and I leave the comfort of our apartment and amply stocked cupboard, poverty and hunger hits us square in the face. You might think that we would only see such deficiencies in the ’Valley’, where the majority of the poverty-stricken are confined, not so; it is everywhere. Recently early one morning Randy had gone to take out the trash. He returned, came back into the kitchen and asked me if there was anything I could give him to take to a young girl at our dumpster. He had found her digging when he had gone down with our trash. We had extra bread and juice, I sacked it up quickly so that Randy could hurry to catch her, I believe he had told her to wait. The dumpster is visible from our back balcony, since then I’ve noticed how often (daily) many people come to see what they can find to eat.

In the past the heels were my favorite piece bread, but now for some reason, the heels seem to stick to the bread bags; so I just toss them in the trash can. I know that someone will have a bite of bread that day. I’ve discreetly watched, as a whole family rummages through our dumpster, and this scripture has come to mind:


Mar 6:40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
Mar 6:41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
Mar 6:42 And they did all eat, and were filled.



It’s difficult to see someone hungry. Randy and I know that we can’t take 5 loaves and 2 fish and feed the hungry of Galati. However, with God’s help, His mercy and grace we are determined to do the very best at what He sent us here to do: Feed His Sheep, “Facem Ucenicii” (Make Disciples).

These are pictures of a group of 3 young women that live together, between them there are about 12-13 small children, no fathers in the home. We had delivered a sack of groceries, it was gone in just seconds. Pray for us as we seek the Lord’s wisdom in dealing with the hunger all around us, and as The Myers and The Geddes work together“Facem Ucenicii”(making disciples). Randy & Teresa
