Missionaries to Eastern Europe

 October 2009

Our brethren, fellowcitizens, soldiers, and labourers in the Lord, greetings.  This is our first prayer letter.  We are happy to report that our God is faithful.  He has met our every need while we are on deputation, and we have great hope that He will continue to do so.

It has been a blessed few months since our beginning.  We have been encouraged by the churches visited.  They’re excitement for the work of God in Bulgaria and Romania matches our own.  It has been a priviledge meeting with those who know the work, and those new to it.  It has also proved a necessary strengthening of our faith, that the God we look to serve overseas, is able to care for us on the way.  Thank you all, very much, for being intruments of his kindness, vessels of mercy, ministering to us as we try and minister to others.

We are happy to report from our fellowmissionaries in country, that God continues to do ‘exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think’.  There have been four baptisms this Summer, one each month.  Over 150 gypsy-Turks, former Muslims, publicly identified with the Son of God, that he was their Saviour.  There are now 96 churches in Bulgaria and Romania.  There have been thousands of preaching DVDs distributed throughout the Turkish community, that, literally have reached the world over.  And the Macedonia call still rings out, “Come over … and help us.”  The work continues to grow; the door of faith remains open; the labourers are still few.  Help us believe God for the remaining support necessary to reach our field, and lend our hand in the work He has called us to.  We want to get there as soon as possible, but not at the expense of the work; we want to be a blessing and not a burden.  And we believe our God will do this for us.

Our God has given us ‘exceeding great and precious promises’ that serve to illustrate who He is, and what He is able to do; Let’s lay hold of them.  Keep us in your prayers, as we keep on the road.  Trust God for us, that He will be glorified in us, that we might be a blessing to all we meet.

“Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.”  Matthew 18:19

Because of a living Saviour,
