Getting to know the God of all grace

Greetings from Moldova to all you precious saints!Psalm 81:10b says, "...Open your mouth wide and Iwill fill it". What is my need today? What is yourneed? Thank God, we have an all-mighty God who desires to be very personal with us in filling our need. He says to us,Won't you simply open your mouth wide and let me supply your need from My eternal storehouse? A storehouse filled with His grace, His mercy, His goodness, His kindness. There is no lack in that storehouse. Whatever the need, whether big or small, God is waiting to be gracious to us and show His love toward us by filling the need. During the last two weeks, I have been amazed at the way that God has supplied my need. We were four days inBudapest, one day in Slovakia, three days in Brasov,Romania, now I've been here for four days and whenpresented an opportunity to preach or do a rap, I have opened my mouth wide and God has filled it! I didn't realize until now how much I had received by being in GGWO Baltimore every day and just receiving from the pulpit and from the Body. Thank you so much, PastorSchaller, and all the dear pastors who have been faithful to preach the Word and invest in my life!!! The value of what I have received in my 3 1/2 years there cannot be estimated. It is truly beyond words. Thank you to the Body in Baltimore, too, for just loving me! I've been so warmly received by Pastor Julian and the Body here in Moldova. Oh, what a time we're having! Thank you, Lord. :) We've had amazing times in the Word, on the streets evangelizing and just feasting in fellowship.There does seem to be an amazing openness to the Gospel amongst the Moldovans. Bible college begins again tonight, with Gabor Bolbas teaching Methods of Evangelism. I’ll teach Old Testament Survey on Friday and Pastor Julian will teach a class either on Wednesday or Sunday. Thank you for reading thus far and as the Lord brings it to remembrance, please pray for us in the following:
---SOULS saved and DISCIPLES to be added to the church. ---BIBLE COLLEGE CLASSES--fervent hearts,anointedteaching, students to attend.For people to have a PERSONAL REVELATION of theimportance of the WORD and the BODY.TEAM members P. Julian/ Natella Timofte, GaborBolbas and me. PROVISION in every way for all who desire to go toEUROCON in March. Thank you each one for your friendship in the Gospel and for the way that you are a blessing to the Body of Christ! God bless you! Pastor Mark Knowles

Just let God love you

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
1Jn 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation concerning our sins.
So many people don't experience the real love the unconditional love of God !
Why? Because they don't let God love them! There is much pain and much sorrow in this world and people are blaming all on God . Why God ? Why is this happening to me ? How can I believe in God with all this things happening in the world? If God exist and loves us this world will not be like this!
How many times in our conversations with people ,we have met this questions or statements!
People are angry and mad on God ! Why? Because they don't know how much God loves them ! How much He is looking to minister to them Mercy and Grace! They don't know how much God paid in order to bring peace ,joy and love in our life, and all this for free!
God knows what is happennig in this world in our life and He wants to help us ! He is saying:" Just let me love you! Come to Me as you are and let Me love you !"
God is so awsome ! I don't know where I will be without the love of God ! I know that I am here at this point in my life just because of His love ! I can continue because of His love and I will finish my race victorious because of His love. I like that He is not puting conditions for me . He says :" Come ! Just come ! Like a child!"
I love this! Thank you Lord!
Amen

Grigore Vieru (February 14, 1935–January 18, 2009) was a Romanian poet and writer from Moldova.

Moldavian poet and writer Grigore Vieru, 73, died Sunday morning at the Emergency Hospital in Moldova's capital city Chisinau .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigore_Vieru

A month before one of the local television was asking who is the most influential man in Moldova. He answered :"Jesus Christ!"

Reporter asked him :"But is Jesus Moldavian?"

His answer was:"He was Moldavian and will be Moldavian as long as we believe in Him!"

This is truth! Moldova needs Jesus!

Thank God for Grigore Vieru's life,he was living for his Saviour and for his country!

Pastor Mark Knowles is moving to Moldova!

Dear friends, Lord willing, I'll be heading out again to the mission field, to Moldova, in Eastern Europe on January 13th. We have a Greater Grace church there which was planted by Pastor Julian Timofte a few years ago. I'll be teaching Old Testament Survey in the Bible College and otherwise assisting him in whatever way necessary--evangelism, preaching, whatever the Lord gives. Moldova is formerly part of the USSR and still as I understand has a communist government. By all accounts the fields there are white unto harvest! I believe God will open many doors to minister God's precious grace to the hearts of the people there. Please keep the mission in prayer as God leads you. We are so excited as we usher in the New Year, 2009, for we believe God has planted us where He has for a specific purpose. He is on the throne today and rules over the affairs of men. If there are troubles all around, maybe just maybe that is a place where God is on the move. Maybe it is there where we'll have our greatest opportunity. Let's trust God to open doors this year to reach out to those around us in this lost and dying world who are searching for Grace! Those kind of people are all around us. A missionary is not one who travels overseas to live in a country not his own. A MISSIONARY IS ONE WHO HAS DETERMINED IN HIS HEART NOT TO LIVE FOR HIMSELF, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS! Because of His first love, Your brother in Jesus, Mark

I first met Pastor Mark in Budapest in a Saturday when he came for a prayer meeting. We have had such an amazing time worshiping together The Lord! From that time we became good friends and we start praying together with others nearly every day for our ministry in Budapest and around the world. We were going together to Bible College ,evangelism and mission trips. In 2003 God called me to go to Central Asia and Pastor Mark went to Baltimore I believe in 2005, for Bible College . He have finished the Bible College in Baltimore last summer and also he was ordained as a Pastor during our 2008 Annual Convention in Baltimore.
We were praying together that God will lead him to come and finally God gave Pastor Mark the opportunity to come and join our team in Chisinau . He will be leaving Baltimore today for Budapest where he will spend few days with the Church there and also will go to a mission trip to Slovakia. We are expecting him in Chisinau by 20 of January.
Please pray for his trip to Hungary-Slovakia- Moldova,for a permanent visa in Moldova(one year),his part in the Church,evangelism ,place to stay,finances,teaching in Bible College(Old Testament Survey).
Thank you very much for your part in the work in Moldova!
God bless you!

Pastor Julian
