Most Precious, Dear, Beloved our friends and Prayer Partners!

We love you with all of our hearts and we pray for you that the Lord would bless you and keep you strong until His coming!

We thank you from the heart for the love you show us not only through words, but also in deeds! May the Lord reward you abundantly according to His grace!

In the following we want to bring joy to your hearts with the answers to your prayers. You should know that everytime you pray, the Lord hears and answers! He is wonderful!

We finished the camp for leaders’ training: we organized it in Cimislia and we had almost 100 participants who will be whole heartedly involved in the summer camps!

We had an interesting and captivating schedule, but there was a problem: the weather was very very cold and obviously it was cold inside because the rooms didn’t have any kind of heating! We prayed and do you know how the Lord answered? He changed the rainy, cold weather that was supposed to come to us ccording to the meteorologists and gave us sun that warmed us everyday! Everyone of the participating leaders saw this and they trusted the Lord even more. Another miracle was that nobody got sick and this was a big thing because some of the leaders came with thier young children. The Lord protected us. Immediately after this we had a leadership camp for the „extrim” camps. Some beloved brothers came from abroud and they taught us many new and beautiful things that we will apply to our camps. The Lord gave us also a little „Zip” line – which will be a great joy for our children! Jesus Christ takes care of everything if we bring them all before Him!

The orphanage from Carpineni;
The Lord sent to us some brothers from Linz and they brought sweets for everybody at the orphanage. Praise be to the Lord! You pray for them and the Lord sweetens them!

Besides this, the Lord continues to work in the heart of the principal. When we called him and asked if he would permit us to come with the brothers and the gifts they brought and also have a little program there, he answered, „You should better bring us some rakes instead of sweets!” When we heard this we started to pray and said, „Lord, we ask You to give some rakes to this man and by this to mellow his heart a little through this answer to prayer!” The Lord worked wonderfully and gave him 30 rakes.

How happy was he! He saw the hand of the Lord because we told him that we will pray for this and he had the opportunity to see God’s hand at work in this. May the Lord reward all those who pray and those who came here to Moldova to bring joy to the hearts of children and give a good testimony to the director.

Vadimca: we already told you much about him, but you should know that the Lord answers! Continue to pray for him, because sometimes thoughts come to his mind to go back on the streets. He is very sincere and told us that he fights these thoughts and prays to God to protect him. He also prays three times a day like this: „Lord, help me to become a true man of Yours and please give me two bikes, one for me and one for Irina (a little girl from the same orphanage)! He prays the same way every morning before school, before the noon meal and every night– everyday! Let’s pray together so that the Lord would send His grace and keep His hand on Vadimca.

Another answer to your prayers: the Lord has blessed us during our trip in Europe, He protected us on the road, He fed us, He filled our tank with gas, kept us healthy, crossed us over the border with the trailer which didn’t have the documents up to date, He crossed us over the border back home with the trailer full – like He brought the Israelites whrough the Red Sea!

The Lord answeres prayers and works wonders! Psalm 55:22 says: „Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall.”

Continue to pray for:
– our summer camps that await us. We are preparing now and we need your prayer support.
– that the Lord will provide everything that we need (repairs and fixing for the different camps);
– that He will bring the campers;
– that He will give us the favor of the authorities (signing of the contracts);
– that He will provide the resources to feed and host the kids that He will send to us.
– above all pray that each one of us would remain close to the Lord Jesus, in dependence of Him for everything. To look for Him and to find our pleasure in Him.
– Please also pray for our children – that the Lord will keep them strong in faith.

We love you with all our hearts and do not cease to pray for you.

Glory to the Lord! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!

With much love and respect in the Lord Jesus Christ, Svetlana and Nicolae Sili Along with entire group El-Shadai.
