Today we finished our last worship service in Cluj. The focus of today’s message was Jesus as our Friend, with John 11 & the story of Lazarus for the main Biblical text. Tonight we also distributed toiletry supplies, along with hats & gloves. Once again they were elated to receive everything. ToSue Koning, Bonnie Perkins, & the ladies at First Baptist of Olathe, Jacob made a promise to some deaf ladies here that he would tell you this: “God Bless You.” God made this hat-&-glove project possible through you all!They were thrilled to learn that the hats were personally knitted for them. A seven-year-old girl has been staying with one of the families that is hosting us this week. Her grandparents, aunts, & mother are all deaf, & she is a superb signer. She has been a hand-full all week, & we learned that she has absolutely no toys to play with. So in addition to the toiletry supplies, we were also able to spend some extra money to buy her some toys.
Plus, we also wanted to confirm that the leader from Ploesti did indeed arrive for the worship services here in Cluj.

God bless, The Romanian Team – Isaiah 43:1-3
Hi Silbings,
God told me to visit the Mission for the Deaf this morning.
Somehow, I read the many missionaries through the news of Jamie Berke. Interstingly, I read your newsletter of your travel and sharing good news with the Romaninas. I pray for you and your team to continuue spreading the good news to others there. Is Noah or Jacob the son of the deaf pastor in Maryland?
I love you. God bless you.
Faithful God’s Servant,
