All Glory to our God! - Jeff Simmons
Our God continues to do an incredible work here in Moldova! God has answered prayer after prayer, and what a joy to be a part of what He is doing in this country! Yesterday, our last day at Camp with the children, was amazing! We experienced the joy of sharing Christ with the children, and seeing many respond. Out of fourteen in our small group Kevin and I were leading four gave their hearts to Christ this week. What a joy! They were so excited! In addition, we saw God continue to strengthen and disciple many who have accepted Christ in years past. For me to see Vitali, a fifteen year-old, in my group last year - to see him still remembering his decision and walking with the Lord was encouraging! These children are all so precious! We all fell in love with them, and we pray they truly saw Christ this week through us!
Along with Camp, we also continue to see God provide in countless other ways. First of all, Jerry and Tammy Teige received news today that Olessa got approved from the Minister of Education here in Moldova to be adopted by them! Praise God! They are so excited. They just found out today, so it will be next week sometime before she can come to her new "home." Also, today we were able to see the "Transitional Living House" which has been a dream for CERI (Children's Emergency Relief International) and for us as a church. CERI finalized the purchase on Tuesday, and we were able to go today and see the place that God is going to use in a powerful way to impact the lives of many precious girls who get kicked out of the orphanage at sixteen. We took chalk and wrote prayers throughout the house.
Our God is so good! He has heard our prayers and blessed with beautiful weather, hardly anyone on our team being very sick, and truly impacting the children in Moldova. And, the fun part is that this is only the beginning! I love dreaming about how God is going to continue to use His church to transform this country. I love our God so much, and I love being a part of a church so committed to living out His commands to "take care of widows and orphans." Thank you, church, for praying, going, loving and giving. You are so wonderful, and all glory to our God!
