The March of Madness

Tour of Romania

"Nimic Fara Dumnezeu"

This March Master's Commission Romania prepared for our first tour across Romania. The theme was Nimic Fara Dumnezeu (Nothing Without God). We went to 6 different church's, sharing what God laid on our hearts.

 People in the church today forget about the cost our forefathers had to pay to serve God. Many were tortured, beat, family members taken from them or killed for Christ.  Today we forget, we want the "normal" christian life... we want to stay in the confines of our home, seldom going out of our way to do anything for Christ. Sure we love to attend church, we have all the particulars down to a "T" but in our hearts we are content with where we are. Something is wrong. Something must change. We cannot just live for Jesus on Sunday. We HAVE to bring Him into everyday, every area of our lives. We have to do Nothing Without God!!! Today many of us are not faced with the choice to die for Christ but we are faced with the challenge to LIVE for Christ and live fully. Will you live a life with or without Him? This is the message we brought on Tour, this is what we want to accomplish in our own lives as well.

We are not finished with this tour yet but last month we had the privilege of Crossroads Master's Commission joining us kick off Tour. What amazing things God has done so far! XMC was here for two weeks and in those two weeks we were able to share the gospel with over 920 people and 57 of these gave their hearts to Christ!!! Praise God!
Some of the ministry we were able to do besides church services were:

Food distribution- We went to a gypsy village where there are 30-35 homes (The same village we gave blankets to in December). Many of these families did not have food and if they did they had very little. God opened the hearts of the people in this village and since March we have started doing Micro Kidz on a weekly basis there. The children and parents are so hungry for the word because they cannot read it for themselves.

Micro Kidz- We had again had over 100 kids attend. It is amazing how attentive these children are and how eager to learn.  In a country where over 40,000 children are abandoned and put in orphanages or institutes and 350,000 have parents who have left the country to work, ministering to children is one of the biggest needs. They need to know about there saviour but also need to be shown love and learn life skills. 

Women's Home- All the MC's ladies visited a Home for girls who were rescued from sex-trafficking.  The girls were very receptive. There were a total of 11 girls in the home at the time. The youngest was 13 and the oldest 25. The women who runs this home has asked us to come back and to help her in training the girls and teaching them about what it is to be a woman, a treasure not a tool. We will go once a month to this Home. We thank God for the doors He has opened for us! 

Here were just the highlights of March. Keep checking back for more updates on what God is doing here in Romania!
