Awana is coming to an End!

Hey Everybody Well our Awana club has almost come to an end! We have 2 more weeks left and then we will have a special closing ceremony. We are trying to get the Cinema in Ostroveni rented so that we will have plenty of room for the parents and Grandparents to come see the kids at the closing ceremony. I'll try to get the exact date of the closing ceremony in the next blog post.

We've had some new people coming to our meetings on Sunday thanks to Telu, a man that Dad and Cristi have Bible study with once a week. Telu invited one of his friends,Mr. Gigi, to come three Sundays ago and this past Sunday ,Mr. Gigi, brought one of his friends with him. So through Telu God has brought two more men to hear the Gospel. Telu had been asking Cristi how God was going to use him(Telu is in a wheelchair and doesn't get around much) so now we see how God has used Telu to show others the way toward Christ. It really is amazing what God can do through someone's life.

I'll keep you all posted!
Keep us in your Prayers!

Summer is almost over!

Hey everyone! Well our Summer has almost come to an end! School starts here on the 15th of September so we only have 3 more weeks left of our Awana club. We've had a great turnout this summer in Awana, right now we have about 50 kids our so. Our English program for the kids has been going well also, we have between 30 and 45 kids that come regularly.

Once school starts back we'll be starting back our free homework help and tutoring. We're going to have this everyday from Monday to Friday, we don't have an exact time set yet but we'll keep you posted.

Yesterday at Awana we had some special guest. Claudiu Nitisor(check out his blog at http://cllodvl.wordpress.com/) and his wife Dana came and put on a puppet show for the kids. We had about 25 kids so we were pretty crowded. Here are some of the pictures below.





Well keep us all in your prayers!

We've really grown!

Hey everyone just thought Would give a quick update on what's been going on. My grandma and my Great aunt have come to visit us for two weeks here in Valcea. We took them yesterday to see the kids at the Awana club. My Grandma ,who worked in Awana in the U.S., said that she wished the kids in Awana in the U.S. had as much desire to memorize the scripture as the kids here do. She said that the kids there just kinda zipped through their Awana handbooks and didn't really learn the verses by heart but the kids here do. For example some of the kids in our Awana club have completed their manuals and they're now doing the recap, which is basically redoing the whole book for a second time, and are going through it really fast because they took the scriptures in their handbooks and really learned them by heart. We should really count this as a blessing, that the kids here are really taking the scripture to heart.

Our Awana Program has grown quickly, this past Tuesday we had six new kids come but since we already have so many kids come on Tuesday we had to move them to Friday. Now we have about 40-45 kids who have completed their Entrance brochures and have earned their handbooks and uniforms and another 5 or so kids who are still on their Entrance brochures giving us a total of 50 or so kids. Mainly we need now is more sponsors and more space because we are at the limit of how many kids we can handle. Just keep praying for us that God will give us what we need if it is his will and pray that he will help us to be a good example for this kids and share Christ's love with them.
