Continual Praise to God - March 28

Today I'm attaching a picture of Sora Cristina. She is a constant encouragement to me as she ignores her pain and thinks only about pleasing God. She faithfully hobbles to church and Ladies class despite her just having her toe amputated. On her last visit to the hospital, she lead one of her former hospital roommates to Christ. Praise the Lord! That is a total of 3 ladies saved through Cristina's testimony just in the last 2 months. What a challenge for us all.
Cristina lives in Ciumeghiu where I teach a ladies class and a children's class and where we prayed for God to work in Evangelistic meetings last week. No public decisions were made, but God's hand was obviously upon us. Friday night we had a full church, but the Pentecostals had 3 people show up. Then Sunday night we received a call asking if we had electricity. We were fine, but the Pentecostals a street over did not have electricity so some people came to our meetings instead. We serve a jealous God. Praise His Name! Continue to pray for Pam, Vero and Annie to receive Christ. They came to the meetings along with many unsaved spouses and neighbors. May the Lord continue to work in hearts.
Thank you for your prayers for my coworker Eugen. His is recovering well from his knee surgey. He sadly won't be able to play soccer for a while, but has decided to take this opportunity to tear up his front yard (personal dirt soccer field) and "returf" with grass. The field and him will be all brand new in a few short months.
The last item of today's business is to make an announcement! After much consideration, I have decided to break up a normal 6 month or so furlough into two shorther furlough trips. My first 10 week furlough trip will be this fall from mid August through October. I am planning to visit my Southern WI supporters in 2007 and my Northern WI supporters in Fall 2008. I am excited about seeing you all and would appreciate your prayers as I prepare to visit you all and leave my ministries. Have a wonderful Palm Sunday weekend. Love, Kim

Praise & Prayer - March 16

*Praise the Lord, that my lab results all came out normal. The doctor believes that when I gained here is put a fat layer also on the liver (not good), but happens. He recommended watching my diet closely and keeping the digestive medications on hand when I have problems. Thank you for your prayers for this situation and continued prayers as I try to lose this weight and improve my overall health
*Pray for my coworker Eugen, who will be going in for knee surgery on Tuesday, Mar.20. He has had injuries and surgeries before on this knee. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors and a quick recovery time.
*Pray for the Ciumeghiu church as they are having Evangelistic meetings Friday Mar.16-Saturday Mar. 18. The Pentecostal church has purposefully decide to have meetings at the same time. Please pray for the Lord to show His power and do a mighty work in Ciumeghiu. Specifically pray for Pam, Vero, and Annie, three unsaved ladies in my class, to attend and receive Christ.
Sorry I haven't been able to add pictures recently. My computer should be up and running by next weekend and I will try to post something. Thank you for your continued love, support and prayer. I love and miss you all. Kim

Up and running. . almost

Well, the week flew by and now I have a better than new truck. Runs great and better for the $1500 in repairs. :) I wanted to quick thank you for your prayers with my doctor's appointment. He found that my liver is slightly enlarged as well so order some lab work done. I am currently on a few medications to help with my digestion and this week will go back to the doctor to have the lab results interpretted. Continue to pray for my health and wisdom for my doctor. I praise the Lord that this hasn't stopped me from teaching and serving our Great God in the churches. All praise to Him who reigns above. Kim

Put on Hold

God clearly revealed His hand of protection over me Friday, Mar. 2nd when my car blew it's transmission. Thursday I traveled over 300 miles to Budapest and back, but it was Friday on a 10 mile trip that my car decided to breakdown. Praise the Lord, I was able to hobble it to a mecanic right up the road from my house. Although repairs will be around $1500 and I am without a car for a week, I have a unexplainable peace that God will take care of it all. The car problem will provide me with the break I need this week to take care of other things that have been set aside for too long. Sunday I was able to go to the last night of Evangelistic meetings in Sanicoleau Romani. Some visitors wanted to use my computer for their music ministry, but the village electricity promptly fried the cord. Despite more technical difficulties, we were thrilled to see one woman surrender her life to Christ. Please pray for MaryAnn as she learns to "grow in the knowledge and understanding of the Lord." Thank you for all your prayers as I take a technology break and recharge. Kim Colossians 2:10
