“TODAY, AUGUST 26: The twelfth annual missionary conference (RoMisCon) begins at Deva. Young adults are gathered from several part of Romania to ascertain their call into Christian Service overseas. This year the coordinator is Rev. George Ritisan., president of APME. Special speakers include the chairman of the European Pentecostal Theological Society from Stockholm, and Pastor Florin Cimpean from Philadelphia Church, Chicago. Several career missionaries are also giving reports from their fields of service. DYM originated these conferences and supports RoMisCon yearly. Please lift up this important conclave in prayer.

GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: DYM wishes to express thanks to the Lord for the
great work being done among Romanian young poeple through Olie Oniga and the the Peniel Team. Peniel conducts deeply spiritual camps and conferences that sometimes attract thousands of Christian youth in Romania as well as North America and other countries.
“Just as I am, young, strong and free,
To be the best that I can be,
For Truth, for righteousness, for Thee,
O, Lord of life, I come, I come.”

IT’S CONVENTION TIME: Thousands of Romanian Christians will meet for prayer and worship at the Gwinett Center, Atlanta, in their 42nd annual USA/Canada convention September 3-5. More than 100 Romanian congregations exist in Canada and the USA.

DISCOVER YOUR MISSION will have a representation at the Atlanta convention. Pastor Florin Cimpean has assigned Rev. Aluculesie to arrange the booth. Photos of the Romanian missionary family will be on display.
Free literature will also be available.

A TIME TO INTERCEDE: Tribal and religious fighting in Pakistan and Afghanistan are making Christian service more and more difficult. Additional restrictions are being placed on our people. Pray for protection and wisdom for our Romanian team in Asia…”

Scintei in bezna 8 Aug 10

 Scumpi frati si surori in Domnul, 

Iata ca a mai trecut o luna de la ultima scrisoare, si am inca o data prilejul de a impartasi despre modul cum Domnul lucreaza in viata mea aici, pe meleaguri indepartate…

Au sosit ploile in Filipine, si impreuna cu ele tot felul de provocari… Taifune, inundatii, mucegai, multa umiditate, alergii, acoperisuri curgatoare, sunt doar cateva din lucrurile experimentate aici la tropice, odata cu anotimpul ploios. 

Va povesteam in luna trecuta despre incercarile prin care sora Nilva a trecuta, pierzandu-si fiica de numai 23 de ani, doar la vreo 2-3 saptamani dupa ce si-a vazut sora inmormantata… Nu stiu de ce anume, insa Domnul a ingaduit ca inca o incercare sa se abata peste aceasta familie indurerata. Numai cu vreo doua saptamani in urma zona noastra a fost ravasita de un taifun foarte puternic, cu vanturi ce au izbit cu furie si care au scos pana si cativa copaci din pamant. Din nefericire, furtuna a facut ca intregul acoperis ce adapostea familia indoliata a sorei Nilva sa zboare cu totul, lasandu-i in plina noapte fara adapost de vant si ploaie… Atatea incercari peste aceasta familie, intr-un timp atat de scurt…

Dorinta si rugaciunea mea este ca Domnul sa lucreze la inima lor si sa ma ajute sa pot fi o binecuvantare si financiara pentru multi in situatii de urgenta de genul acesta.

Daca Domnul va pune pe inima sa fiti de ajutor in situatii de genul acesta, eu ma rog ca Domnul sa ma ajute sa pot deschide un fond special pentru situatii de urgenta, (atat medicale cat si materiale) care sa imi poata permite sa vin in ajutor la momentul potrivit celor nevoiasi intr-un mod practic si rapid, fara ca acest lucru sa afecteze finantarea activitatilor obisnuite de la clinica…  

Domnul continua sa sustina clinica Rapha, pe care Domnul mi-a incredintat-o spre conducere si sustinere materiala, prin procurarea de medicamente si sustinere financiara a personalului clinicii… Slava Lui pentru felul cum ne poarta de grija, exact cat avem nevoie de la luna la luna! Aceasta aventura a credintei ma ajuta sa imi pun nadejdea si mai mult intr-un Dumnezeu minunat care atinge inimile oamenilor, lucrand in momente de durere, atat fizica dar si spirituala…

Aceasta este lucrarea la care Domnul ne-a chemat la clinica Rapha- nu doar sa fim un instrument spre vindecare fizica, ci mai degraba, ceea ce este mult mai important, sa fim o unealta spre restaurare spirituala. Domnul sa pregateasca inimile pacientilor care vin in fiecare zi de luni si joi la clinica, pentru ca la vremea Lui multa roada sa se adune pentru slava Lui! Domnul sa puna mesajul Sau in gura celor doi lucratori ai Evangheliei care vin la clinica si impartasesc Evanghelia pacientilor in sala de asteptare… Fie ca fiecare rugaciune rostita de noi cu pacientii, inainte de plecare, sa primeasca raspuns divin si sa atraga inimile oamenilor spre Vindecatorul Sufletelor.

Activitatile Clubului de Sanatate pentru copii, „Saya’t Sigla” (”Bucurosi si Voiosi”) au continuat in fiecare zi de sambata la Rapha, si cei 14 copii inscrisi se pregatesc cu o oarecare tristete in inima pentru ziua de Graduare (14 August ). Cele 15 sesiuni ale cursului de sanatate predate in fiecare zi de sambata se vor incheia in acea zi, insa sper ca relatia pe care am format-o cu acesti copii din cartierul sarac din vecinatatea clinicii Rapha va continua si pe mai departe…

Trebuie sa recunosc ca si mie imi este greu sa ma desprind de acest grup de copii deosebiti si isteti, care s-au atasat foarte repede de inima mea!  Domnul mi-a pus pe inima ca ultima sesiune inainte de graduare (7 August ) sa fie dedicata in mod special prezentarii mesajului Evangheliei pe intelesul acestor copii cu varste intre 10 si 12 ani. V-as ruga sa nu uitati acest amanunt si sa ne sustineti in rugaciune pt ca Samanta Cuvantului ce a fost semanata sa cada pe un teren bine pregatit. Eu am incredintarea ca lucrarea pe care o facem cu acesti copii va avea efect de lunga durata, cu roade pentru vesinicie, prin initierea de prietenii si oportunitatea de a ajunge la inimile parintilor prin copii. Multi dintre parinti sunt pacienti ce vin in mod regulat la clinica, si simt ca Domnul are o lucrare deosebita pentru vietile lor…

 Parintii au primit invitatie speciala pentru a participa la aceasta zi deosebita cand copii lor vor tine un program special cu piesa de teatru, papusi cu marionete, cantece si joc, toate ilustrand cele invatate pe parcursul celor 15 sesiuni la Clubul de Sanatate - “Saya’t Sigla”. Tot atunci acesti copilasi vor fi felicitati pentru participarea la club, si vor obtine fiecare cate o mica diploma  pe care va scrie “Junior Health Workers” (Micutii lucratori in domeniul sanatatii)!  

Fie ca urmatorul grup de copii care va participa la curs sa fie la fel de deosebit si cu deschidere pentru a invata lucruri folositoare pentru imbunatatirea sanatatii, nutritiei si modului de trai din comunitatea in care traiesc.  

V-as ruga in acelasi timp sa continuati sa ne sustineti in rugaciune in legatura cu programul de consultatii pre-natale si seminariile de instruire a femeilor insarcinate pe care dorim sa le incepem la data de 7 Septembrie … Domnul sa trimita mai multi voluntari la clinica, pentru a putea avea un si mai mare impact prin ceea ce facem.

Inchei aceasta scrisoare cu o inima plina de recunostinta pentru felul minunat in care sunteti alaturi de mine in tot ceea ce Domnul mi-a incredintat aici printre filipinezi. Fie ca Domnul sa ne ajute sa fim din ce in ce mai uniti, lucrand cu bucurie pentru ca Numele Lui sa fie slavit printre popoare de orice limba si neam!

Cu apreciere si dragoste din El,

Alina Voda

“Mozambique (MNN) — When over 50 percent of a country’s population can’t read or write, passion for Scripture could be nonexistent. But Tom Dudenhofer with Audio Scripture Ministries says the people of Mozambique are eager to learn about Christ. “There’s no opposition at all anywhere to Scripture distribution.” People are not only unopposed: they are desperate for God’s Word. Dudenhofer says the openness to the Gospel could be a reaction from years of civil unrest. Regardless, when ASM sent audio Scriptures to Mozambique, churches “were actually started just because people started listening to these Scripture players.” To respond to the overwhelming response of the people, “Audio Scripture Ministries is on the verge of building a separate studio production center and ministry offices in Mozambique.” The locally-run center will bring the Gospel to many in time, but Scripture players are still a necessity right now. $40 provides one player which will reach countless people with God’s Word. ”

Former Soviet Union (MNN) — This is Part 3 of our series on the youth of the former Soviet Union. With so many odds stacked against, it’s easy for young people to lose hope. However, Eric Mock of Slavic Gospel Association says all is not lost: “Time and time again God uses youth in the former Soviet Union, right where He has raised them up, to be used in powerful ways.” Similarly, American youth living in a post-Christian culture still have great potential if older believers take time to mentor them: “So we have these youth now looking for truth from someone who truly lives the truth in their lives and cares for them — the same circumstances that we see in the youth of the former Soviet Union.” Crossing language and cultural barriers, SGA is bringing American, Russian, and Ukrainian youth together in ministry. But they’re not waiting till their older: “These youth become a new generation of those ready to be used of God today, not tomorrow.” Join us Monday for the fourth and final installment of this series.

India (MNN) — The state of Bihar in India has been referred to as “the graveyard of missions.” Christians make up just a little more than one percent of the population of the entire state. Mawii Pudaite of Bibles for the World said she’s heard it said that “this northern state of Bihar is one of the most backward and depressed in India.” Pudaite says that the biggest issue is a lack of long-term workers in the state. In order to reach the people there, Pudaite asks for prayer. Bibles for the World is also doing what they can in the capital city of Patna. “This month, Bibles for the World is getting ready to send 100,000 copies of ‘No Greater Love’–the entire New Testament–to 100,000 selected families in the city of Patna.” Help send a copy for just $2.25. Visit our Web site for details. In the meantime, pray for the families that will receive the Word to be open and ready to hear God speak.

New Arabic NIV Study Bible awaits printing
International (MNN) — The New International Version of Scriptures recently completed the Arabic NIV Study Bible. Biblica now begins the process of printing, and upon completion, these Bibles will give people from across the Middle East and North Africa access to God’s Word. The Bibles will be a great tool for Christians to reach out to their neighbors and a resource for many who have questions about Christ. To get started, Biblica needs your help. Any gift you give goes 100 percent to the printing of these Bibles.

CFAM-Newsletter 07,08,2010

“ROMANIAN LEADERS GOING TO HISTORIC CONFERFENCE: DYM reports that at least three official delgates from Romania will attend the Cape Town International World Missionary Conference, Oct 16-25. They are George Ritisan, President of the Romanian sending agency (APME) as well as Pastor Vasilica Croitor, and Iliana Hrisca, Administrator of the CRST missionary training school at Agigea.

These Romanian delegates are among 4,000 missionary leaders from 200 countries to receive official invitations. The Cape Town, So. Africa conference follows the Lausanne Movement’s two previous meetings held in Switzerland in 1974, and at Manila in 1989. Purposes for discussion at this international follow-up meeting (Lausanne III) include dealing with other faiths, world poverty, HIV/AIDS, and persecution.

The two previous Lausanne conferences resulted in formation of many new international missions partnerships, and an historic focus on the thousand of unreached people groups (ethne). The LCWE (Lausanne Committee on World Evangelization) is a thoroughly evangelical movement, which endeavors to define an holistic approach to missions, combining evangelism with compassion and justice.

Additional thousands of ministers and missionaries will observe the Cape Town sessions electronically through “Globalink,” at hundreds of locations throughout the world…”

“ANOTHER LOOK AT THE HARVEST FIELD: Recent research identifies 3,300 unevangelized “nations” with a populaion of 540 million. There are still 2,251 tribes where there is no part of the Bible in their language. The largest religion on earth is animism, which teaches that physical objects embody spiritual powers. These spirits are basically hostile, and require sacrifice or incantations to appease their anger. A large percentage of all Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists seek the help of a shaman or witch doctor for healing, guidance and peace of mind in daily life. Religion brings bondage — only the gospel sets people free…”

WORLD MISSIONS AND THE CHURCH: “The pilgrim Church is missionary by her very nature. For it is from the mission of the Son and the mission of the Holy Spirit that she takes her origin, in accordance with the decree of God the Father” (Ad Gentes, 1965). These solemn words tell us something profound. World Missions does not arise from Church activity, as though missions were one of the Church’s many good functions. Just the opposite is true, the true Church arises from missions. That is — missions is her origin and her life’s breath. “The Church exists by mission as fire exists by burning” (Emil Brunner).

As we watched world missions ignite within the Romanian church movement, we could see that most pastors thought of world evangelization as an extra obligation that was introduced by some Americans like “Fratale Cameron.” No doubt many Romanian congregations still feel that way. In such places, missions competes with any number of firmly established religious ethnic traditions like weddings, retreats, engagement parties, church trips, construction costs, etc. In these settings, world missions usually loses out. However, here and there we joyfully find a Romanian church that has caught the New Testament Antioch vision which caused the early Church to have explosive growth across the hostile Roman Empire.

What about your church??? If you are still bound by the notion that world misions is merely one of many options, then please ponder the words of Dr. John W. R. Stott; “Our mandate for world evangelism is the whole Bible. Individual Christians and local churches not committed to world evangelization are contradicting, either through blindness or disobedience, an essential part of their God-given identity. The Biblical mandate for world evangelization cannot be escaped.” …
