Please pray with us that God will provide the necessary finances!
Winter camps - teenagers
During the winter holiday, some of the church’s teenagers and their friends went on a winter camp, where, apart from
having a good time, they were challenged with the Gospel message.

A couple of weeks later it was the turn of the university students from the group “ProVeritas” to go on winter camp. This is
a group from Emanuel Church who reach out to their university colleagues with the Gospel. (see photos above)
Please pray for those who heard the Gospel; that the seed sown will grow into a life-long faith in Jesus Christ as
their personal Saviour.

Upcoming events
We are entering the Easter season when it is a good time in Romania to share the Gospel – people are more open
to the message at this time of the year. It is also the season for weddings – and we already have several planned for
this year. Likewise, it is a time for conferences, and plans are underway for several summer camps – though with
the current financial crisis, it remains to be seen how many of them can take place. Summer is also a time when we can
reach out more into the villages with teams from Emanuel or those from other countries on short term mission
trips. Please pray for each of these events – that God’s hand will be seen at work.

Special prayer needs!!!

In addition to the requests listed above, we continue to covet your prayers for several of our members who are
going through a difficult time with their health, or are experiencing financial difficulties due to the financial crisis.
Pray also for the Church’s pastors and department leaders, that God will continue to use them and guide them
as they seek His face for Emanuel Church’s future!
Please also pray with us for spiritual revival at “Emanuel” and in Romania!

May the Lord bless you as you seek to do His will !
