Soccer in Ukraine

With God.s will I was able to go with Florin Soare and his wife, Avery in Odessa, Ukraine, for the past two weeks . It was a blessed and wonderful time . I had the chance to see again lots of friends in Odessa and to meet and talk with few of them .

   The reason we went there is a soccer camp organized by some of the missionaries that work in Odessa, and we went to help with that . The camp was great ; There were some non-believers guys and it was a great opportunity for us to minister to them and to get to know them and build relationships in order to be able to talk them about Christ . I shared my testimony and it was great to see the guys listening and after that some of the guys shaking my hand . I was so happy when of the non-believer guys stood up in front in the last night and he shared about his life and I was so surprised because he had a similar life story with mine and he said he could understand me . It was great , I was and still praying for that guy, his name is Andrew .

   There are some pictures below , I invite you to watch them and to get an idea of what happened in the camp .

  Prayer requests :- my family ; we are going through a hard time spiritually and not only right now

                            - the ministry in Pitesti, the Roma kids

                            - the church here in my hometown , please pray that God will give everybody wisdom and

                              a clear view of how the church of Christ should look like

                            - me, for my relationship with God and also for wisdom
