So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Thank you so much for your prayerful and financial support. Without you we would not have been able to serve the Lord with all our time.
In the last letter I wrote about the "Look Up" and "American Week" projects. Thank you for supporting us in prayer, there were many students who heard the Gospel. In this letter we wold like to share with you how it was and some testimonies.
Look Up
There was a very pleasant atmosphere at the conference: there were students from both Chisinau and Cahul, as well as many new students. It was very nice to see and we thanked God for such opportunities this year. Indeed, last year, due to the outbreak of war in Ukraine, such an event had to be canceled.
Since the conference was attended by both believers students and non-believers, it was noticeable how non-believers students during the conference were more open and shared their opinions. The lecturer spoke about relationships, peace and identity in a language understandable to the students. He especially revealed the theme of human identity in God. We hope that through these topics, students have been able to better understand their need for God.
Student:
I really liked the atmosphere and the people. I also liked the program, the topics was interesting for me and it wasn't tiring to listen... and there were moments when we had to get involved/talk with the people at our table and it was great. I am very satisfied and do not regret at all that I attended this conference.

American Week
In collaboration with the church in Mckinney, Texas we organized a week of activities for students with a team of 30 Americans. Most of them were from college. They came for a week to help students from Moldova get to know the American culture and of course to share the Gospel together with as many people as possible. Thank you for your prayers for them
They had the opportunity to serve in the churches in the villages where they organized a program for young people and shared the Gospel.
Every day, in the mornings, I went with them to high schools and colleges where they talked about American culture. In the evenings we invited many students to play board games and a fun program. The students from Moldova were very excited to see such a large team of Americans and were very open to hearing the Gospel. Through the messages and testimonies of the American team, 362 students heard the Gospel for 4 days. At the last meeting, people who would like to receive Jesus were challenged to raise their hands. There were around 10 people who raised their hands. This is very encouraging to see how the Lord is working in the lives of these young people.

Prayer needs
1. We want to be close to the Lord and seek his will in everything we do. Please pray that the Lord will bless us with new disciples.
2. Please continue to pray for our apartment and a new car. We have to find 25000$ more for cover all debt.
And we are praying for a new car for our family and ministry. For this we have to find 15000$. It is possible to buy from the US.
If you can help with any amount for this needs we will be very thankful.

3. Rugați-vă pentru situația politică din țară. Se întâmplă lucruri ciudate, se vorbește că Rusia dorește să destabilizeze Moldova. Nu știm ce se va întâmpla cu adevărat însă rugați-vă să fim aproape de Domnul și în toate să căutăm voia lui.
