SWAT REPORT # 101

Est 9:22  As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.

A TIME OF FEASTING

We certainly are a blessed people here on the mission field in Romania.  We feast on the Word of God with great preaching and teaching several times through the course of each week.  We feast on the opportunities of ministry both in church and on the street.   We feast the faithful support both in prayer and finance of our beloved brethren back home.  And we feast on the great fellowship of our brethren the good Lord has gathered round us here on the field.  This month we gathered many of these brethren in our services…upwards to 45-50…if we are allowed to include all our little rug rats seen in Photo 1011 (you pick out the Gypsies from the others…good luck. We had the Lord’s supper on Dec. 23^rd evening and enjoyed a special time of feasting with these brethren.  We had dinner on the grounds following the Dec. 30 service and feasted again.  Then, notice in photos 1012 and 1013 we had four-to-the-couch and standing-room-only at a Christmas day fellowship in our home with about 35 in attendance.  What did we feast on…well feast your eyes on photo 1014…and that is just the dessert table. 

Notice who gets KP cleanup duty in photo 1015…but like crummy preaching…you can always find something worth eating in every trash can.

And when we are all finished feasting…little Sergiu and I kick back and enjoy some bottle. Photo 1016

We truly have enjoyed feasting on the increases the Lord has given into our ministry in 2007.   We hope and pray that all of you can say much the same.

Even though I am disappointed the Lord Jesus Christ chose not to return in 2007…it only heightens the probability He will surely be here in 08.
