It's Not Just a Building...
| Flavius' at his 18th Birthday Party
The Learning for Life Center is not
just a building. It's like a huge bill board saying 'Jesus Loves You,
Jesus wants to help you, and Jesus cares for you'. Communism, especially
under a dictator, does not promote the concept of sharing or helping your neighbors,
let alone the existence of a loving God. Romania has
been free from Dictatorship for 20 years but the damage is far reaching. Communist ideology doesn't disappear overnight and the controlling tentacles of
the State Religion reach deeply into the communities. Along come the
Christians, often referred to as the 'Repentance Church', and they are not to be trusted, so people are told. Tabita
Ministries,with the help of the Lord, is beginning to chang these notions in the town of Ciacova and the surrounding area. Recently a youth outreach was held in the Learning for Life Center with very
positive results. Youth from other villages were invited and they had a
great time of fellowship, music and receiving the word from Pastor
Marius. They didn't realize they could have so much fun in a church
setting. Christian Community is being established. Many of the people in
the town of Ciacova are quite curious about the 'Repentance Church'. (Just a note: Marius Pastors
the Baptist Church: however, Tabita Ministries is trans-denominational,
operating out of the Learning for Life Center constructed on the church
property.)
Another event that has made a
positive impact is the recent 18th birthday party of one of the young
people. This is an important birthday in Romania and many of his friends
from school were invited. The party took place in the Learning for Life
Center and these youth, who do not attend Christian events, were so excited
about the good time, they want to have their 18th birthday parties at the
Center! This is a real breakthrough! By the way, Pastor Marius gave a salvation message and they are
all very interested in hearing more about Jesus. We can see this facility
being used by the Lord to bring many to his Saving Grace. This is what it is all about. | Salutari din Romania The Biserica Crestina Baptista
Ciacova congregation can hardly believe the blessing they are receiving from
the people in Canada. They are so grateful. This would not be
happening if it were not for your willingness to give beyond your church community.
Thank You to all who have helped and will continue to help. This truly is
your work also.Milton and Kathi
