And for those that did not know that we had a concert.
A team of twenty five came to Romania and put on a concert. The team first stopped in England before making thier way here. But first, they performed in Brasov.
We were able to rent the Cultural Center here in Bistrita for the concert.
Approximately 300 people showed up to the concert. The romanians enjoyed the music and fellowship.

Because of the concert we have had two come to church.
I pray that others were touched with the message of the Gospel.


Pray for the youth camp that is taking place right now, and the kids camp that will take place the second half of the week.
Pray that God will use this time to touch the life of the kids. Pray for the volunteers to be a testimony to the kids that come to the camp.

Praise: For the family center that is opening in Jimbolia-we may have some house parents.
Pray: In sept I will be traveling to Jimbolia (12 hour drive) to meet with a couple who want to be house parents. May we have a safe trip. Also will meet with the pastor of a church that wants to be involved in the family center.
Pray: still in need of one couple for house parents in Targoviste.

Summer 2007





Chris and Faith in Romania, summer 2007

What a busy summer it has been. We have had family visit, have traveled to conferences, received a new baby in placement whom is living with us at the moment, and it has been very hot. The Lord has shown His grace and provision in so many ways, he has protected our dear Chloe Ruth who has come down with something like the chicken pox and had heat exhaustion due to adjusting to the 100 degree weather with no air condition. He also has given us strength each day to make it through the heat and has now given us some cool air to re energize us. How awesome and wonderful is our Lord. We will praise Him forever and always from sun up to sun down. So many times in life circumstances can over cloud our minds of what is really important in life. Sometimes the Lord uses our dear children to show us what He desires in our lives, to just focus our eyes on Him and to trust Him no matter what lies ahead or behind.

Prayer

A few things do lie ahead for us that we would earnestly ask you to join us in prayer for:

We are in need of godly Christian house parents for two homes. Please pray as time seems to be falling short and many more children need a home, that the Lord would guide us to the couples that He wants to fulfill that position.

That the hearts, eyes, and ears, of the Romanian people would be open to the Gospel and that they would have understanding and receive the Lord

Jesus Christ as personal savior of their lives.

That the people in our Block would be more receptive of us.

Continued prayer for wisdom and guidance for Chris throughout each day, and the many decisions he has to make.

Also we are still awaiting our visas and would be nice if we could get them sometime before summer is over. Also, financial provision for our visas.

Happenings

We are in the process of building a relationship with an elderly homeless man. Levi has become very fond of him. For weeks now we have been telling him hello and occasionally giving him little things such as apples and other fruit. Yesterday was a very big day for Levi as it was the first day the man spoke back to us. It thrilled all our hearts but especially Levi’s as he shared his cookies with the man. We hope to continue to be able to speak with him. Levi asked “how do we tell our friend about Jesus?” So the next time we see him we will tell him Jesus loves you in Romanian (Isus te iubeste). Levi wants to be the one to tell him, with a great big smileJ

We also have coming up this week a team coming from Boise with four bands. We will have a huge concert in the Cultural Center and our very excited to see what the Lord will do through this event. We will show pictures and give an update about this on our web page, chrisandfaithinromania.blogspot.com.

Thank You

We also would like to take the time to send out a very big thank you to all of you who support us through prayer and financially. The Lord uses you in a mighty way and we appreciate all you do to come along side us in serving our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for your support and all your encouragement. We love you and pray for you daily. May God bless you in more ways than you could ever imagine.

Serving in Christ together,

Chris, Faith, Levi, and Chloe Anderson

Therefore by Him continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. Heb. 13:15
