Dear ,
Greetings in the name of our risen Savior, Jesus Christ! We hope that the season of celebrating His resurrection was joyful for each of you. We had a great time hosting 24 friends on Sunday- lots of food, fellowship and fun. In Romania, the day after Easter Sunday is also a holiday, which included a picnic in the mountains with the same great bunch of friends. We are very thankful that God answered our prayers and gave us a group of friends to grow with and love. Thanks to all of you who prayed for this specific need. God truly has answered!

A lot has happened since the last update in February. The entire month of March we spent in South Asia teaching "Love in Action" conferences among tribal believers. We were very blessed to have two different teams come to help us during this time. The first group was three Romanian women, and the second group was four Americans (and Mimi, who has Romanian blood but an Indian heart!).
God truly moved among the believers during this time. Many hundreds of people listened intently and agreed with the Biblical

mandate to love God and love their neighbor with a sincere love that only God can give. Many gave testimony of how God spoke to them during these times we had together. All in all, we held 18 conferences, spoke to groups of tribal evangelists twice, ministered in churches on three Sundays, taught dental hygiene, ministered in two orphanages, and traveled over 4000 kilometers in country. God kept us safe, healthy, and energized the whole time.
Since our return to Romania, we are seeing some interesting things happening with the ministry to adult orphans. Our young friend, Patronela, is doing well in

the maternity home and is active in all of our home group events. We believe that God is completely capable of helping her understand her need for a Savior, even though her ability to reason is so limited. God has also connected us with an ever increasing group of adult orphans here in the Sibiu area. We are daily in contact with these young people and are listening for direction from God as to how to be of the greatest help to them.
We are fully convinced that these young adults are on God's heart. Their needs are so all-encompassing; emotional, physical and spiritual. Sounds just like the people Jesus chose to bless when He was walking the Earth. Please continue to pray for us as we seek His direction. We know that to make a lasting impact in their precious lives requires wisdom from above. Our best efforts at helping could create such problems for them and us. We need supernatural wisdom.
We offer our heartfelt thanks for your continued gifts of prayer and finances. Working together, God's love is being shared around the world. Bless you for being such a key part of sharing His Kingdom!
Going for Him,
Stephanie and Leslie
