For the last few weeks Paula and I have been doing cell leader training for a small church in a nearby village that is led by a missionary colleague and friend, Jackie Ramsey. One of the young men we’ve been training was baptized on [...] Our Area Director for Europe, Jerry Coleman, spent the weekend in Arad with us. Jerry tries to visit each of our mission’s ministry sites in Europe (in 10 countries now!) at least once a year. We were very happy to have him visit. On Saturday he met in the afternoon with the leadership team of [...] Cristi & Monica, Marius & Adrianna For the last year or so I have been coaching a new church here in Arad called Adoram.
