Greetings from Romania…
December 4th, 2007
Robert, Stan and I arrived this past Saturday. I preached to over 3,000 on Sunday morning at Emanuel Baptist Church. They baptized 32 in that service.
That evening we drove two hours to Arad where I preached at Love Baptist Church. It was a glorious service where my good friend, Onesimus, is the pastor. About 400 were in attendance.
On Monday the three of us started teaching at Emanuel University. I spent four hours with second-year students in pastoral ministry. On Tuesday and Wednesday I will be with master level students teaching a preaching course.
These are good days. Please pray for the school at Emanuel. The winter has been very cold and the heating bills are enormous. Challenges abound, but God is faithful. Thanks for allowing me to be away working in this vital ministry area. Your investment is important to this work. I will report more to you on Friday’s blog.
I heard you had a great day with my friend Dr. Ed Stetzer. I look forward to being back at Olive on Sunday.

You were missed, but Dr. Stetzer’s message was wonderful and I am enjoying opportunites to put it into practice - being that minister of reconciliation that he taught about. I brought my sister who was here from out of town hoping that she would be touched by your preaching, but I’m hopeful that she was touched by Dr. Stetzer’s message and this will be a great excuse to get her back here to go to church with me because she missed our wonderful pastor Traylor on this past Sunday! God bless you and I’m glad you are back!!!! They were indeed blessed to have you in Romania!
