I believe God has called me to reach this
community of people
with the Gospel. My vision is to
reach every family in Maguri. I
want to support them
with a good Christian education, giving a
Bible to each of them because they have no knowledge of the Scriptures
and Christian culture. I started organizing a small group of people
here where I preach them the Gospel. They are very tough people, but
if you go and touch their hearts and you show them real love, they
will open their hearts to you. In the 25th of June 2014 we started
“Salvation” Church in Maguri, as a mission church of “Grace” Church in Lugoj.
1. A Bible for everyone
Maguri village has 724 people and in the past 3 years I offered them, through Rodney and April Shaffer family, about 200 Bibles. We need another 250 more Bibles for children and 280 Bibles for adults. In every worship service we read the Bible with them and help them get used to God’s Word.
2. Support for going back to school
In Romania, school starts in September 12. Due to poverty, many Gypsies don't go to school. Many kids don’t have the opportunity to buy schoolbags and school supplies. Also they need products for personal hygiene and care: tooth paste, tooth brush, soap, shower gel, towels etc.
The total cost of one schoolbag with these supplies included is 40 dollars
3. Giving the right education
Gypsies are a race that have been traced back to India. They came to Eastern Europe a long time ago. In many countries they are being treated like second class citizens. The Romanians accepted them at the beginning. Having no money, they can’t afford the right education for their children. There has been a little interest in hearing the Gospel, but after a few years of work, step by step, more and more people attended to our open air meetings. The Gospel of salvation was proclaimed and God moved their hearts and some of them were baptized. We work every week in this village and the most opened for the Gospel are the kids. In order to work with them, now when autumn is coming, we need to rent the Culture House, to have our own sound system, to buy Bible materials and crafts, guitar, piano, video-projector. Also we need a van for transportation.
4. Supporting poor families
In Maguri there are families who have many children. Our goal is to select 10 of the poorest families and help them with food: oil, sugar, salt, flower, rice, bread etc. Also we want to buy shoes for the adults and kids. With 50 dollars per family, we can bring them joy.
5. Building a Church
Grace Church from Lugoj bought a plot of 2000 square meters. I have finished the project and we want to start the building as soon as possible. Right now we are meeting in the house of Brother John, during the winter and during the summer on the streets. For some special events we rent the Culture House. We need materials, but also volunteers to help us build the church.
6. Joy for Christmas
In December, we invite all the kids with their parents to a Christmas concert. The teenagers from “Grace” Christian Church are involved and help me in organizing this even.
In 2014 with the support of sister Patty Rainwater Whitfield we offered every child a present with candies, socks, gloves, hats, personal hygiene things.
The cost of one package is 20 dollars.
