mission point in Frumusita.
On Sunday 27th June the first baptism service washeld in the
yard of brother Ionel, when 7 candidatestestified to their new
found faith in the Lord JesusChrist! What a marvellous way for the
new church to beknown in this village.
The evening wasnt without incident the local
priest came into the yard and tried to intimidate thosetaking
part at the service, as well as threatening brotherIonel.
Please pray for those who werebaptised, that the Lord will
strengthen them intheir daily walk with Him.
Please also pray for those who feltintimidated by the priests
visit and that thepriest will come to accept the presence of
thisnew church in his village!
