2012 BLESSED BEGINNINGS (Ps. 1:3) kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when men shall revile The man of God whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. In you and persecute you, and shall say all order to have a glorious finish we need a serious beginning. EVANGELIZING IN A MUSLIM Life many times offers new beginnings; lets start a new one COUNTRY right now! 1. Begin seeking the Lord (Gen.4:26) Every man should seek for Lord, Where? (Job 23:3) Dont seek Him among the deaths (Luke 24:5), but at the right hand of the Heavenly Father (Heb.12:2). When? As long as we can find Him (Isaiah 55:6). How? With all your heart, (Jer.29:13). 2. Begin to repent (Mark 14:72) We have to weep over our sin: in this world by repentance (Lam.3:39), or in eternity, and There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Mat.25:30). 3. Begin to walk in the Spirit (Gal.3:3) We have to stop walking under the leading of the flesh, and we have to begin walking always under the leading of the Holy Spirit (Rom.8:12-13), and to end in victory our good start. 4. Begin to serve (Luke 4:39) The proof of our divine healing is our service before the Lord. After she was healed, Peters mother in law started to serve. We were healed not to go back to bed, but to serve the Lord (Rom.12:11), to be the praise of His glory (Eph 1:12), with joy (Ps.100:2), with all humility (Acts 20:19) and using the gift we received (1Pet.4:10). The reward will be glorious. (John 12:26) 5. Begin to rejoice (Luke 15:24) The joy we received in our hearts when we were saved, and the joy that is in Heaven before the angels of God (Luke 15:7,10), we have to preserve it to the end, and it will be continued in eternity. (Isaiah 35:10, 51:11) In 2012 we have the opportunity to review our beginnings, to make the necessary adjustments and to start a new blessed one. May God help us all! (Ticu Moisa) CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION This is the reality for about 200 million followers of Jesus Christ around the world. Every day they risk their lives just because they believe in Jesus Christ. They could listen to the government, they can become part of other religion, they can deny their faith and be free, but for them the love of the Lord deserves their sacrifice. Many of them pay for their faith with their own life. Christ gave His life for us, are we ready to die also for Him? Are we ready to face persecution for our faith in our Savior Jesus Christ? Today we should start preparing for this. Stand, having your loins girded about with truth (Eph.6:14). The Lord Jesus tells us in Mat.5:10-12:Blessed are they who have been persecuted for righteousness sake! For theirs is the

kinds of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for your reward in Heaven is great. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. CRY FREEDOM! Sometimes we hear just part of the horrible sufferings some Christians and minorities are facing. Some people are living under the cruel vice of the most repressive governments in the world: North Korea, China, Eritrea, Burma, Cuba and Iran. The everyday life of the Christian in these countries is very difficult. They have to face intimidation, arrests, prison, torture and even death. This is the price they pay for their faith in Jesus Christ. This is why were launching our new CRY FREEDOM campaign today. The campaign is a timely response to tackle the root of peoples suffering - brutal state repression. Through our work for long-lasting political change, we can bring hope and establish abiding freedom for Christians and others suffering at the hands of these brutal regimes. Lets start with North Korea. The persecution of religious believers in the country is harsh and ranks as one of the worst in the world. As one defector shared with us, An announcement was made that three men had gone to China and become Christians. People were invited and forced to watch their execution. With the change in leadership, there is now a good opportunity for North Korea to change direction and stop the brutal oppression of its own people. So then, lets make our voices heard by sending a message to North Koreas new leader, Kim Jong Un, urging him to change direction. Its time to speak up, together! As ever in Christ: Mervyn Thomas CSW Chief Executive.

DMBOVITA, RO It is really hard to walk over the borders between towns, which are the lands of the Mayor, of the Priest and of the Police Officer, who many times are building barriers of intimidation, but with the help of the Lord of the Harvest and with your help we were able to pass over many doubts and intimidations and we brought here the Bread of Life and the Living Water.

Poverty, sorrows and illnesses are tempering us even more than the iron in the fire, and the Lord works in our lives through all of these things. We are rejoicing and it is marvelous as we read in Ps. 118:23. I can tell you that I am alive, I travel trough the 10 towns with the ministry that I received from the Lord and we have many steadfast souls in the House of God. We rejoice here in the middle of a village where before they were selling alcohol and people were dancing, but now the Word of God is preached. The voice of the Lord is telling them: Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. Forsake the foolish and live; and go in the way of understanding (Prov. 9:5-6) and Buy from Me gold purified by fire, so that you may be rich (Rev.3:18) The Holy Spirit works through dreams and visions and many people came to the Lord. Narcisa surrendered to the Lord during an Evangelistic service. An angel of the Lord came to her and said: Run for your life! and she asked: Where? and he showed her the place where we were praying. I come here three times a week; I need to be helped spiritually, morally and financially. Its not that easy, as the gas is very expensive. Also, we started to build with our own resources a small Church Building. We didnt pay anything for the labor and the construction goes very well, but now we need financial help to finish it, to dedicate it and to use it. Due to kidney stones I was sent to the emergency room at the Hospital in Gaesti under severe pains. I had to borrow money to pay for the hospital. Also, this month we dedicate the Church at Grajd. (Ion Solomon) TURKEY Dear brothers of prayer! At the end of 2011 when people from the mayors office ceased our building, we try to meet with a representative to ask for a release but so far all we tried was without any positive result. Without any good reason they sealed the building, and they didnt give us any official

document for their action. Any time we look for them they are not to be found. People who know the law told us to give up. And this comes after officially we are registered as an Association (Dernek). This week we will still enter the building to finish the painting and Sunday we intend to have the first service there. Please, pray with us that the Lord will give us the victory in this difficult situation. Tuesday and Thursday the entire Church is called to come and to pray around the Town Hall building and of the Christian Center, which 2-3 minutes distance. The Lord spoke to me from Daniel chapter 6 and I pray that the end of this situation will be as it is written in the following verses: Then King Darius wrote to all people, nations, and languages who dwell in all the earth. Peace be multiplied to you. I make a decree that in all the domain of my kingdom, there shall be trembling and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, and endures forever, and His kingdom is that which shall not be destroyed, and His rule shall be to the end. He delivers and rescues, and He works signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth, He who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. Dan 6:25-27 WITH THANKSGIVING: Dani H OLTENIA, RO A Baptist Brother Alexandru Capatina, agreed with Pentecostal Pastor Ioan Nenea from Severin to build a Church for our Pentecostal brothers at Jiana, which is surrendered by five villages. So far Br. Capatina raised $7,000 from Baptist churches and $3,000 from Pentecostal churches for this project. This brother is 82 and his desire is to see this church finished before he will go to be with the Lord. Hes asking for your financial support for this project. You can get in touch with Br. Ioan Nenea at: 011 40 743 326 809 or Br. Capatina at: 01 40 949 973 3447. We thank you in the Name of the Lord. (Daniel Chivu) SIGNS OF THE COMING OF THE LORD Our Lord Jesus Christ, Apostle Paul and Apostle Peter gave us many eschatological references. In Matthew 24 the Lord gives us prophetically 24 signs of His second coming. We want to mention here some of the most important: False Christs (Mat.24:5,11,24) False Prophets (v.11,24) Wars and rumors of wars (v.6,7) Nation will rise against nation (v.7) Earthquakes, famines and pestilences (v.7) Many deceivers (v.11) Iniquity shall abound (v.12) The love of many will become cold (v.12) The gospel of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in all the world (v.14) The abomination of desolation will be revealed (v.15) Great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world to this time (v.21) False signs and wonders (v.24) Apostle Paul shows 21 signs of the second coming of the Lord in 2Timothy 3:1-9, starting with the following words: In the last days will be grievous times MARANATHA! The Lord is coming! ARE YOU READY. .
