MUSTARD SEED
JERSEY PRAYER UPDATE FEBRUARY 6th 2017
Just
this morning, I felt a sense of unease and urgency about our plans to send
money to ADPB (residential home for dementia sufferers in a village in Bihor
Romania). We were waiting for more funds to arrive so had planned to send the
money for firewood next week, but I felt a sense of urgency that would not
shift. So I made a quick call to Romania and so discovered the money was
urgently needed NOW, as they were in real danger of running out of firewood.
After another quick phone call with one of the Mustard Seed Jersey trustees the
money was immediately sent to Romania.
THANKS BE TO
GOD for that prompting this morning and for how it was possible for us to
respond and help immediately like that.
ROMANIA
THE COUNTRY:
I
have listened and watched the news on Romanian anti-corruption protests these
last few days with concern. I asked our Christian social workers for their
input and prayer pointers – in fairness this was before the announced turn about
by the government, but I see the protestors continue to protest as sadly they
do not trust their government.
The
social workers said:
Ø Please pray God will work and drive out of all the corrupt government officals.
Ø Pray
for Romania because is a huge fight but most affected are the poor people that
are struggling to survive.
Ø Pray for Romania for stability because
we don`t want conflicts between people, we don`t want civil war.
Ø Pray for people in real poverty because they don`t
have enough money to buy bread and woods (it is not good to see poor people
going in parks to find some little woods to have a little fire for the night,
or going to a factory near our office
taking discarded clothes & materials to have fire for the night. The price
of wood exploded this year because it is a hard winter.
Ø Pray
Romanian people seek God more - that is our only solution.
