Grace Bible Church - Discover the Joy!


Missions

We purpose, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge, holiness and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to attend to its services regularly; and to give financially as God has prospered us, to the support of the ministry, to expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel throughout all nations.

To fulfill this call we have twenty-nine Missionary families ranging from home (here in the states) to around the world. Each month we will be giving a little information of each of these families, their call, area of service and any praises or prayer concerns.


 

 News from Evangelist Pavel Antonesei,  Our Missionary in Romania and Moldova. 

 

     Hi brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus

 

" He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again"

proverbs 19:17
 

 

  To have opportunity of lending to the Lord is a great privilege in life and  yet few take advantage of it . the poor  we have always and in all places so the opportunity everywhere and at all times present Think of it ! God Himself  becomes debtor for everything give to the poor ! How much will you advance God on this basis? God will pay it again , for in no case  has He ever failed to do so.

God deserve all praises and Glory because He is awesome God impossible to describe in our poor earthly words but if we do from the bottom of our hearts with sincerity and reverence He will accept it.

After one week spent in Moldova with my eyes wide open we could see what a sick mind of communist president can do for a country  where those in leadership of the country do not care at all for it's own people.In a country where unemployed got up to 87% you can imagine how much lack of hope is there for the day of tomorrow and children and youngsters are the most vulnerable for every kind of bad opportunities of making money by doing the most horrible things only for surviving. I do not like to explain you that because is too painful but rather I will take a good side of what is happening where God and His children are involve in His magnificent and great work  and how He appreciate and rewards those who trust and obey Him. Some churches(not all of them) who have in their vision to win people for the Lord and for His great kingdom made a program of reaching children and young people foe the Lord by starting to look for their main needs. The result are all of this children are now in childrens' choir in church singing praises to the Lord Jesus Christ and dedicate totally their life in serving God. Your financial support helped to answer to their prayers of so many needs. One of that need is having shoes to go to the school and to come to the church and some of them do not go to school because they do not have shoes. So I went in town to by shoes for over 50 children and by God's grace I could have their size and given to them the right size of shoes or boots. they came to church in slippers on very cold day and when we touched their fit they were cold red . You can see they are so happy they have new shoes. In the same time we purchased school supplies and gave in their hands. But also I purchased potatoes for them and vegetable oil so they can have food to eat when they come to church. They eat three times in week at church. Unfortunately that is only food for some children eat because when they come some will eat two plates full of potatoes so hungry they are. We have plans to reach another five villages  where children live much below the limit of poverty. Some times I start to cry  and say : why Lord? They are not guilty at all of mistakes society doing for them. In village of Valeni we used to have a very nice choir made from 56 street children  with so many beautiful voices of girls and boys singing so great and nice to the Lord. In one day the pastor and his wife chase all of them out of the church for no reason and a good number of that girls today became the most horrible prostitutes in Moldova only because of jealousy and envies of some leader of a church that he and his wife did not like street children in church. It make my heart broke and in terrible pain. When I saw this scene now there I wept and wept because some called Christians not doing God's work. I do not like at all to critics them but too painful to destroy such great work. I went to some of this girls at their home persuade them to come again to church but I am afraid it is too late. I have a few pictures of those girls and I ask you to pray for them . I went in houses and by God's grace and your help I brought potatoes for families. So many,many,many sincere thanks came out of their hearts asking me to tell you they are bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our goal is not to preach a social Gospel and fill some needs of people but is to present Jesus Christ by the Spirit of the Lord and make him known He is the only Saviour of the world and Him and Him alone can redeem people from their sins and give the the most wonderful, awesome, and great promise that in one day  WE ALL WILL BE WITH HIM IN GLORY IN PERMANENT OF HIS PRESENCE . What a great day promise by God that cannot lie.Let work as we know the days are hard  and time is short  looking forward to that day when we will be for ever and ever with our precious Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.

 

With deep love in Christ Jesus,

Pavel and Helen
