Thoughts for Romania and the world

Isaiah 43:18-19 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.” This is the scripture reference that our Field Coordinator Joel Mullen has chosen for the Southeast Europe Field. Pray these verses with us for Romania. I (Cindy) read the following in a devotional written by Tim Green a professor at Trevecca Nazarene University: “Jeremiah (29:4-9) admonishes the people to pray for the healing and well-being of the society in which they live. Rather than cursing the darkness around us, we are to speak blessing to our world and become instruments of God’s transforming grace.” I want to speak God's richest blessing to Romania. I want to speak God's richest blessing to the world. I want to believe BIG! Let’s allow Him to use us as instruments of HIS transforming grace.

Clara with Romanian Youth at Camp 07

Clara Halmagian, who attends our church in Bucharest, lacks just three courses to complete the educational requirements for ordination in the Church of the Nazarene. She's completed a two year degree in Christian Ministry from European Nazarene College, a law degree from a Romanian University, and is currently working on another degree in International Relations and European Studies. While she was born into a Christian home, and has been in church all her life, she came to realize that it was not enough, and prayed to receive Christ into her life. Clara has been involved in the Church of the Nazarene both on the district and local level for fifteen years. She served as associate pastor, and currently works in youth ministry in the “Blessings Church” in Bucharest, and works in our district office. She loves studying the Bible, learning new things and applying them to her ministry situation. Clara has faced challenges as a woman called to ministry in a country where Orthodox influences are strong. But Clara feels strongly that God has called her to share good news with others. She credits God who gives her the strength and great missionary teachers who were very good at encouraging and helping her in her journey and studies.
