Before the 1989 Revolution in Romania, the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement Church was intensely persecuted by the communist regime. Members were gathering in private houses, and they were often interrogated or even sent to jail. After the Revolution, the joy was huge, and in just a few years, many worship places were built throughout the Romanian state.
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Matthew 14:30
Psalm 33:19, 20 “To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.”
In May of 2002, my family and I were in Arkansas for some weekend evangelistic meetings. On Sunday, we headed back home to Dallas, Texas. My wife and I packed our things into the car, called the children, and left the Hindsville church were we had been staying.
Praise God! We have raised $8,487.00 for our brethren in Papau New Guinea, surpassing our initial goal of $ 6,600.00 by almost $2,000.
During our initial assessment we had hoped to raise at least enough funds for three months supply of food, but we anticipated that there would be a need for up to four months' supply. Surplus donations will go towards meeting this anticipated need. Thank you for your prayers and support. We will keep you updated with the needs of our church family in Papua New Guinea.
Dear Brethren,
The El Nino drought affecting Papua New Guinea is taking its toll.
Our members and their children in Papua New Guinea are in great need of assistance. Members cannot access their food sources, namely their gardens, due to frost and drought. Over 10 weeks of no rain has meant that their dependence on the only water source to water their gardens has dried up.
Funds are needed to purchase food.
