Our Newest Partner:
Timi Cristian
|
|
|
We are delighted to share with you that we have a new partner. Timi Cristian will be taking on the leadership of Rock of Ages prison ministry in Romania. Having witnessed the example of his parents Mircea and Ronela who have wonderfully led this holistic and evangelistic ministry from its beginnings, Timi has felt God's call to take Rock of Ages into a new season.
|
|
|
|
It is because of your support for our Spring Appeal that we are able to fund Timi's ministry for the next few years - thank you! Here is Timi to explain a little bit about how he serves at Rock of Ages.

Encouraging the Next Generation
|
|
|
Our partner, Pastor Zoli and Tanja Vegel, who serve in Sombor, northern Serbia, have been working to encourage the next generation of Christians. In a nearby town, Zoli has spent some time coaching three young Christians in discipleship and disciple-making. The three young people have demonstrated a keen desire to learn and take on challenges for God. Please pray for this group as Zoli continues to meet with them.

|
A few weeks ago, Zoli taught at an EUS student meeting. EUS stands for Evangelical Alliance of Students. Zoli reported:
|
|
|
I did a presentation on what Christianity is about when stripped of all the things we have added to it over 2,000 years. Basically, it was gospel sharing in the context of questions Gen Z are asking, titled Purpose in The Chaos. I was pleasantly surprised that the response was so good. Many of them came to me and said they loved the presentation. I also had an opportunity to have a long discussion with some of them.
|
|
|
|
Zoli also shared that two people spoke with him afterwards. They both prayed to know Jesus more. The next day, they met with Zoli who gave them New Testaments, spent with them and hopes to have more meetings with them. Pray for these two young people who have begun walking in the right direction!
|
|
|
|
Please pray for Alban Krasniqi and the Christians in Milloshevë, Kosovo. They will have to leave the building which accomodates their House of Hope ministry in the coming months. Ask God to provide a new, affordable place close by so that they can continue to serve Him there. Pray especially that God would work in the relationships the Christians have with the local authorities and the community.

|
Thank you for your love and support. We hope you are encouraged by the steadfast work of our partners and the call to remain trusting in God's goodness. God bless you.
The TEN team.
