Off to the Mountains - 30 April 2009

Hello again from Cluj! I wasn't able to post a blog update yesterday (Wednesday), so this will have to count for two days. Yesterday closed with the mid-week Bible study following a very productive day. Al spoke at the service and it was joy to hear a fine lesson from him.

The real highlight of this trip is the Christian Retreat for Young Adults that begins today (Thursday). A number of Christians from across the country will begin arriving later today and we will make our way to the retreat center about 30 miles outside Cluj. The most exciting thing to me is the fact that we have several new Bible students (prospective brothers and sisters) from Cluj who will be attending!

Some of you may find it interesting to see the schedule for 2.5 days, so here is a list of speakers and topics:

Thursday - Al Jolly - "Why Do We Need Christ In Our Lives?"
Friday - Marty Knight - "How Do We Begin Our Walk With Christ?"
Friday - Vasile Iuhos (Romanian preacher from Oradea) - "Living For Christ Through Fervent Prayer"
Friday - Prayer Service for Men - led by Curtis Sawrie
Friday - Prayer Service for Women - led by Sorina Vintila (Christian from Pitesti)
Friday - Ady Lupascu (Romanian preacher from Constanta) - "Living For Christ Through Servanthood"
Saturday - Claudiu Murtaza - "Living for Christ Through Holy Living"

Throughout each day we will also have quite a bit of time for fewllowship, singing, and good times. I can't wait to see some old friends and make new acquaintences. Pictures will be posted as soon as possible.

We will be offline while in the mountains. When you see the pictures you will understand why! I will post an update on Saturday evening following our return.

Our love to all at home,

Marty, Al, and Curtis
