Physically Disabled meeting

On Thursday April 2nd we held a meeting in our church building especially for the physically disabled of our village and many also came from Cantemir and the surrounding area.

We had over 100 attend ranging from those either blind or in a wheel chair to those with perhaps one eye missing

Here we had a lovely young couple from the Cantemir region who just got married in December.

Both are deaf.

It was fun talking to them

I spoke in Romanian wondering how well they were able to read my lips with my accent and they signed back to me with a friend beside them translating. They sat in different parts of the hall and were signing to each other during the meeting very often and even a fool like me could tell from their signing how much in love they are. They were signing so much that after a while I had to tell them to be quiet ( only joking! )

Here we see Ion Lupan one of the physically disabled ministry team helping a blind man out of the physically disabled ministry vehicle that we have.

Misa was able to bring so many more to this meeting as a result of having the car

Iulian and Ilusa still had to help with the mini buses as there were so many who wanted to come

Here are the brothers that brought the support that funded this meeting

Brother John beside me brothers Sam and Ray ( all three from USA )

Then there is brother Petru in the foreground. He's a Romanian who has lived in Germany for many years and has faithfully raised support and help for the physically disabled ministry here in Moldova - it's not the first time he has helped us put on such a meeting.

As always they provided the funds for us to be able to provide a meal for all those attending

They also provided honey and a financial gift for each that attended and even left the same to be delivered to ones that wanted to come but were unable

Since brothers Sam, John and Ray were from USA and English was their first language br Petru asked me to translate for them as they came to preach.

It was thrilling for me to translate a preach from English into Romanian and all of the brothers preached

Praise the Lord we also saw 11 people give their lives to the Lord.

Pray for Misa as he and his team make plans to follow up these ones who responded and the many other new faces that came to the meeting.
