Another washing machine

Today we had a bit of a challenge: we thought of a family to give the last washing machine to but we didn't now if the family had a machine or not. It is a bit strange if you go to a family and just ask: do you have a washing machine? A very unusual question.... So our challenge was to figure out through casual conversation if they had a washing machine. As we were driving to the family I prayed that God would help me to find the right words and that it would be clear if it was good to give the machine to this family. When we arrived the 3 small kids were playing outside. We chatted a bit with them and than I went inside the house and started to talk with grandmother. And our chat went like this:
Me: Hello, how are you doing?
Grandma: Hello, I am oke, just a bit tired, I washed some clothes this morning.
Me: Do you wash by hand or do you have a machine?
Grandma: By hand cause the washing machine is broken and old.

And so I got the confirmation from God right at the being of our visit! We stayed some more and chatted about life and faith and how people always talk about other people etc. We prayed for the family and than at the end of the visit we took the washing machine and gave it to Sofia, the single mother with the 3 small children. She said: Now I will always think of you while washing clothes!

Evanglism with seed packages

Today after the church service the people that attended received a seed package with 10-15 different kinds of vegetable seeds. We pray that besides these vegetable seeds also the WORD that was spoken will bear much fruit! May God bless all the people that came to the different services in Micleuseni, Huzum, Lozova and Nisporeni.

Busy weekend

On Friday night we were able to take around 50 youth to Chisinau to an evangelism meeting. We keep praying that the Word that was spoken will bear fruit!

On Saturday another excursion trip took place. This time we took the children that attend the church in Lozova and Micleuseni. I think they now know us at: the zoo, the pizza place and the circus;-)

Moldavië vreest voor annexatie Transnistrië

Moldavië vreest dat separatisten in het oosten van het land Rusland gaan vragen om de afvallige regio Transnistrië te erkennen, nu eerder dinsdag de Russische president Vladimir Poetin zijn handtekening heeft gezet onder een verdrag waarmee de annexatie van de Krim een feit is.

De Moldavische president Nicolae Timofti zei dinsdag dat Transnistrië mogelijk een verzoek tot aansluiting bij Rusland indient. Berichten dat dat al zou zijn gebeurd wees Timofti van de hand. Rusland heeft eerder gezegd de territoriale integriteit van Moldavië te respecteren.

Transnistrië scheidde zich in 1990 af van Moldavië en Rusland heeft zo’n vijftienhonderd militairen in het gebied gestationeerd. De regio wordt echter niet erkend als soevereine staat.

Timofti spreekt woensdag met de Roemeense president Traian Basescu. Die zei maandag al te vrezen dat Poetin de Sovjet-Unie nieuw leven in wil blazen en dat Moldavië een van zijn prioriteiten is.
