For we are laborers together with God 1 Corinthians 3:9

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which

no man shall see the Lord.

Hebrew 12:14

Thank you to all who have worked with us and have supported us through prayer

and financial work and is a great encouragement for us.

Since the beginning of 2013 God spoke to me (Raul Costea) to pursue holiness in

church life by cultivating prayer and study of Scripture. I shared this thought with

members of the committee and received confirmation again of God in that they felt thesame way. Through counseling, cell groups, preaching and other activities this year we

want to motivate the church to peruse holiness in this way.

We know that all things must be brought before the Lord in prayer, so a group of

sisters meet every morning and pray using a prayer list for various reasons.

I along with some men with spiritual problems, meet every morning for about 2hours to study the Bible and to pray. We see how God works in their lives because some of

them have confessed their sins to their neighbors, relatives or friends.

A man lost him membership in our church because he committed sin. Even though

he lost membership I continued to pray and study with him, and the Holy Spirit convincedhim to change his life. He went to his friends and neighbors and apologized that his life

was a bad testimony.

We started back with the study, in small groups, after the New Year break. Thenumber of participants has grown so much that some of them were assigned to other study

groups. I can see how God works in the lives of young people who participate in the group

and show their desire to know more about God. I pray that they will not lose their desire

and they will be filled by the presence of the Lord.Pray for me and the whole team to have wisdom while preparing message that we

will preach before the church, and that the theme of prayer and scripture will bring value in

their personal life.

Coteana

In January brother Daniel Opris had regular

meetings with the two families of believers. The meetingwas also attended by several unsaved persons who had

the opportunity to hear the Word of God. Some of themexpressed a desire to come to church "Hope" in

Draganesti.Brother Daniel continued the meetings with two

groups of children on Saturdays. Some of them have

received books and Bible stories and during the weekthey read and answer questions in notebooks.

Pray for the completion of a public drinking

water system and that it will benefit part of theinhabitants of the village.

Maruntei

This village, where the workers are sister Veronica

Palcau and brother Octavian Berechet, the work withchildren is under constant development. The number ofchildren who come consistently has passed 20, most ofthem close to adolescence (12-17 years). BrotherOctavian also started a group of adults which he leads.

The group meets to discover what it means to live a lifefor God's purposes. Pray that God will give us wisdom indiscipling these children and adults who participate ingroup evangelism.

Calinesti

Is one of the villages, with great spiritual darkness, and isone which we serve.

An incredible confession by the police inspector

said that in this village there is a rape or robbery ormurder every day. Spiritual darkness is so high that an

orthodox priest committed suicide.Brother Cristi Simion, who serves in the village,

testified that he feels extreme spiritual pressure. Howeverthe kingdom of God is extending in Calinesti.

The good news is that we are about to finalize

documents for a building that was donated for the use ofthe ministry in this village.

We invite you to take part with us in this workand to ask for:

- Gods strength in proclaiming the gospel for

Brother Cristi- Children to know the Lord

- For resources that are needed to recondition thedonated building.

Daneasa si PestraIn these two localities Brother Marian Stoica

continued regular evangelistic meetings with youngpeople.Some of these young people regularly participate in

youth meetings on Friday and cell groups are organizedunder Draganesti church. Pray for these young people

that God will help them understand the Word and be

saved.

Stoenesti & Gostavatu

This month we had a team event with children in Romania. It was avery beautiful and attractive program for the children but it was also

directed toward their parents. At this event there were 150 children.We pray for their salvation and their parents.

In church we started a series of sermons which aim toconvey biblical values in the lives of believers and non believers. Istarted speaking on topics such as God's Word, prayer, discipleship,

evangelism, fellowship, etc.We meet in small groups during the week to discuss

character development and skills in the ministry.

Earlier this month I started an after school program withsome children who are unable to do homework at home. We want

our service to God to be honored through everything we do.I would like you to pray for a boy I met in December. His

name is Dan, a Christian that moved to Stoenesti. He comesregularly to church and he wants to be involved in our ministry. I

would also like to request prayer for his parents.Also I ask you to pray that we, as his servants, can fulfill

all the plans that God has for us.

We pray for the group of teenagers who come regularly tomeetings, and for that group of children to know Jesus also well astheir parents.

CorabiaBrother Mircea Dumitru has begun to

evangelize or diciple a small group in hishome. God has worked in a special way for

this to happen. Every week he is visiting

believers and unbelievers with the purpose to

spread the Word of God and equip them with

an understanding of God .

Lisa si Perieti.January was a month of reflection

(retrospective) and challenge (for the future)

Church of the Good News of Perieti. We

prayed as a church to spread the word ofGod in different ways to win over 20

families in the area. God blesses us with

answers so that more people began to seek

Him. For an example, one neighbor, who

lives next to the church, confessed that he

use to hide from those who would invite him

to the church. Now he wants someone to

invite him to the church. He wants to be free

of these feelings and wants to be saved from

his sins with the help of God.

ComaniIn Comani God has began to move in

people's hearts. They have begun to come to

church to pray and worship without being

urged to do so. Also in the ministry in

Comani, brother Mark Darvell and his

brother Alexe Costea, along with others,

went to do evangelism on the streets, talking

to people and handing out leaflets. The result

of these actions was seen immediately aspeople have shown interest in the Lord,

some of them even asking for personal

prayer.
