Here are some prayer requests that I would be blessed and humbled for you to offer up to the Lord on behalf of me and my team:
– Sistarovat is a beautiful place, but a place also filled with spiritual darkness. It isn’t as easy to see as a witch doctor or cemetery or other place of spiritual death, but we feel its oppression each day, especially when the sun goes down. The enemy loves the darkness, and he has afflicted us greatly in the nighttime. Injuries, nightmares, illnesses, and depression have all been symptoms of the enemy’s warfare against us, and we pray together, calling on the name of the Victor over Death, Our Lord Jesus Christ, to win this place for the kingdom of God. Your prayers, too, will be heard by Our Father and invite his presence her in Sistarovat, Romania.
– While we pray against the source of our afflictions, we also pray for the symptoms of them as well. We have illnesses – colds and sinus infections – that plague us, as well as a physical injury of a sprained ankle, that is hampering our ministry. The enemy is not pleased with our presence here, and he seeks us to give in to apathy because of our physical conditions. Pray that we would be healed of these quickly, and that we would have the strength and perseverance to continue our ministry through our trials.
– Michael, the caretaker of the camp, has been overwhelmingly gracious to us. He has bee the best host and friend we could have had in this place. He is a young man, only a little older than most of us, and is obedient to the call of the Lord. Pray that he would hear the Lord’s voice clearly as he serves the camp and his small church in Sistarovat, and also that the Lord would bless him in turn for the sacrifices he has made for us, his guests and new friends.
– My team and I each have a little over two months to reach our next support goal – $10,500 by December 1st. It has been difficult (especially with so little internet) to fundraise and keep track of our support progress while on the field. Please pray that people would be moved to give generously to us as they see the work we are doing for the Lord Jesus Christ in Romania and the next months in Moldova and Nepal.
Would you pray also that God would reveal to you how you can help our ministry? Some of us are giving the opportunity to go and make disciples of every nation, and some of us cannot do this. God can use the financial blessings one has received to give directly into his ministry, and I believe strongly that anytime someone gives even a few dollars to mission work, it is just as if they had reached out and grabbed the hand of a Romanian man or woman. I hope that you will become a part of this great journey with me and my team!
May God Bless You Richly,
Peter
