Imogene's Christmas in Romania letter here: Christmas In Romania
September 26, 2007
Dear Friends and Loved Ones in Christ,
As you know I returned on the 7th of this month, after a good trip to the USA. The following week on Friday the 14-16 the congregation sponsored a marriage Seminar held by David and MarDee McAnulty of Boston. David is a Psychologist and has been in practice for over 20 years. He sees many couples with marriage problems and helps parents with children. Dr. McAnulty and MarDee have 3 grown children, all faithful Christians. The attendance was good with over 100 participating. Many have commented on the Biblical application of each point or problem in a marriage. The theme was, “Life of the couple”. MarDee’s lesson for the women, married and single, was well done and received. She works with David by having couples in their home helping them work through marriage difficulties and parenting challenges.
What impressed us, David’s parents, was how he always said, “This is what God says”. We are grateful for that and thank God for his faith and for his use of Scripture. This was our first time to attend a seminar presented by David and MarDee. They do Marriage and Parenting Seminars in the States and in Europe, and we do recommend them.
Four of the congregation’s women prepared and served lunch both Saturday and Sunday. Men of the congregation, Liviu Niculae, Emanuel Sanda and Radu Boari, translated for David and Lavinia Cook translated for MarDee. It was a wonderful weekend.
Camp Hope, conducted by members of the Church of Christ, celebrated its 10th year in August. There were 33 from Bucharest making a total of 84 at the camp. Thanks to sponsors of children and Christian Relief Fund in Amarillo, TX, 15 of our young people went. Everyone that went told me how wonderful it was and how much fun they had. There were 18 Bible lessons, devotionals, games and a special midnight hike with “The Sounds of the Crucifixion” skit. The theme was, “Living for the Crown of Life” planned by Albert Cook. Other missionaries helped teach and lead the camp. Several of our young adults were among that number to plan and to teach. Three of our ladies went and did the cooking. It was a team effort.
I am now checking on the places that we help and have bought clothes for one place and food staples for another. I expect that there are other needs and I thank God we can help. I am trying to get an arthroscope for Dr. Filip in one of the hospitals. Dr. Enescu, of the Burn Unit, needs staplers so I am ordering some for him. I have funds for this, thanks to a very generous donor. I have several projects to see about and I am already thinking about Christmas. I will send an appeal for help soon.
Thank you for your continued support, prayers and love. We are grateful to each and every one that helps in anyway in this work. May our God bless you with health, happiness and success in your service to Him.
We love you,
Imogene and Dale
