It has been wonderful to see the excitement and happiness on the faces of the people
that received their NEW TESTAMENT ON CASSETTE TAPE. In many cases, we also handed out new CASSETTE PLAYERS.
We were able to distribute 10 complete sets of the New Testament on Cassette. We also gave out 6 new cassette players.
We purchase the cassette players in Romania at the cost of $45 each. In most of the places in the villages, they do
not have electricity so they must use batteries. This is costly to the family but we try to supply a few batteries with
each set.
These items have been given to illiterate poor families who are unable to read
the Bible. Most of these live in villages in central and southern Romania. Many of these people live in Horezu
Poienari, where the church we opened almost 2 years ago is progressing well. The pastor of the church comes once every
1-2 weeks and another pastor goes each Thursday to minister to the people. We are seeing a lot of spiritual growth in
this area and parents of the children we taught again this year in Vacation Bible School have come to the Lord and received
Baptism in water.
In addition to the New Testament on tape, Mission To Serve has provided several
pastors with Bibles, New Testaments and gospel tracts for entire villages in 3 languages (Gypsy, Romanian and Ukranian), Bible
Study courses for the young people and song books. This year, we also supplied two more churches with Communion Sets.
We know that we are unable to minister the gospel to everyone; however, by supplying the pastors with the materials they need
is an answer to prayer for them.
