2018

Much has occurred this year and my family and I thank you for being a part of it as we’ve been in ministry to the youth of Romania. I’ve taken some time to prayerfully reflect and look at what has been accomplished in the ministry and how I will go forward into 2019. Christs birth, life, death and resurrection is the power the takes a slave to sin and makes him free to resemble Christ. Our redemption to the image or likeness that God talks about in Genesis 1:26 is the current work the Holy Spirit is doing in us believers. We have been participating in this work by demonstrating to the youth that God is theirs regardless if their parents taught them or even believe in Him.

2019

My new years goals are to relinquish more of my beliefs about what a man, husband, and father are through the Holy Spirit in order to know how to reflect Christ to others. The quote below by A.W. Tozer encourages me to tackle this scary endeavor.
Of all persons, the Christian should be best prepared for whatever the New Year brings. He has dealt with life at its source. In Christ he has disposed of a thousand enemies that other men must face alone and unprepared. He can face his tomorrow cheerful and unafraid because yesterday he turned his feet into the ways of peace and today he lives in God. The man who has made God his dwelling place will always have a safe habitation.  A.W. Tozer.
I want to grow deeply dependent on Christ to teach me what He was doing in His alone time with God the father. I want to come to my family, the kids at the orphanage and my church out of this alone time with the Father.

  1. Praying for the needs of the Pavel family and the orphans and that God’s presence would show them He is there, He cares, and He loves them. Praising God for the van that was provided and all of the other needs that were met in 2018. Continued prayers that God would open doors for the Pavels to be able to continue to reach the hearts of these young people with the Word. God bless you all.

    1. Thank you so much for your prayers, it is a tremendous blessing to us!
