Great Report from Team Romania



Dear Firewheel ,


Our Galati Romania team is having a great impact. The e3 team is divided into 6 groups – and we are all on the same ‘team’ except for Sam who is involved in overall leadership of the e3 team. Our teams worked in the city of Galati these first 2 days – and now for Wed and Thurs we will be in the village of Negrea. So the nature of the work will be very different out in a village in contrast to the city. We are all divided up with translators and workers and have often been going to ‘appointments’ which are set in advance; plus also sharing with people in parks and on the streets. Monday evening we participated in a large children’s/family ministry outreach in a huge playground area near the Danube River. Tons of kids were there for music, games and gospel puppet show - a lot of energy in that park for the Lord! Then Tuesday evening we participated in another outdoor evangelism event right next to the Danube river walkway. Under a large pavilion the youth from Emanuel church performed a gospel drama with music to attract crowds. Ron Veit and Vicki Ingrassia each had the opportunity to speak to the crowd after each of the 2 performances – then there were many conversations with individuals about Jesus Christ. Bill Patterson is providing great leadership and ‘humor’ as our team leader. New campaigners, Lee & Karen Carpenter & Ron Veit are all doing tremendously in sharing their faith with conviction and power. We are attaching just a few photos to give you an idea of the work. Appreciate your daily prayers. We are half way through the campaign! All at the same time, it seems like the week is flying by – but ALSO, with so much happening all day every day, it seems like we have been here a long time!


God bless you, Firewheel Team!

Thanks for being such great servants of the King!!!

Matthew 25:34-40
34"Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

35'For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;

36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you (M)visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.'

37"Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?

38'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?

39'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'

40 "The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'

GOD is with you! Keep up the hard work...some may not get a second chance to accept Jesus. Praying for both you and them.

Psalm 107:8-14
8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
9 For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
10 There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains,
11 Because they had rebelled against the words of God and spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12 Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.
