Dear saints,

"We just wanted to give you a short update related to what is going on
in the Lord's Work in Romania at the moment. As some of you probably
know already, there have been some radical changes within the last
couple of months related to the Work. As a result of the recent
situation in the LME realm, the number of the full-time coworkers
serving in Timisoara, had dwindled to less than half their number in
the recent past. Moreover, recently, a dear couple in the Work (T.
and G. S.) from the Northwest of the US, have moved back to the
States, after laboring faithfully and selflessly with us for as long
as 7 and a half years. We treasure very much their work in the Lord
in Romania for all those years, and we wish that the Lord would bless
them in their new beginning back in the US, and also make them a
blessing in their sending locality.

The fellowship in the Work was that the rest of the coworkers, all
Romanians (one couple, D. and S, and two single sisters, A. and C.),
would move from Timisoara to Bucharest, mainly to serve in the campus
area, following the recent trend of the Lord's Move in Europe. The
couple has already moved in a one room flat which is literally at the
out gate of a campus with about 7000 students, situated not too far
from the meeting place of the Church in Bucharest. We are still
looking for a place for the other two sisters. Right now they take
accommodation with the saints. Fellowship is in progress for the
couple that used to work only in the LSM office (A and C). C will
join the Work with half of their time.

Now, in the newly created situation, we very much look to the Lord
for the next steps. The feeling in the Body is that we would continue
to carry out most the activities that the Work was involved in before
the those major changes took place: visiting the saints in the
country, two Brothers' Times a year, the Int'l Conference annually,
seminars in Bucharest with the Rhema contacts, the semiannual Video-
trainings, plus feeding the saints with the recent ministry in the
form of the HWMR and with the classic ministry in the form of the
Life-Study Messages. Just recently, LSM office granted its Office in
Bucharest the permission for the Life-Study of Genesis to be
published in Romanian, in successive 5 message booklets, on a print-
on-demand basis, for the use of the saints and their contacts.

Now we would like to list some of the prayer requests for Romania at
this time:

1. That the Lord would grant His Work a new and fresh start in
Bucharest, with an emphasis on the campus area, so that many students
would be gained and added to the church life.

2. That the best two-room flat (in terms of price, location and
landlord's human quality) would be secured for the two single sisters
in the Work, so they could live as close to the aforementioned campus
as possible.

3. That a convenient facility (in terms of room, board and hall)
would be secured for the 5-7 September Int'l Conference in Bucharest,
as we were not able to find anything available that would match our
budget. A renovated student campus would fit our need just fine, but
so far none we inquired into was available; and time is running out...

4. That the Lord would cover us in the first trip we want to take in
the country with the LME van, spanning 3-8 July. We would visit three
localities with saints (one with a local church), and also 4
localities in which saints have contacts. May the local saints,
especially the more isolated ones, receive a fresh infusion with life
and encouragement, and also may the Lord raise up new lampstands for
His testimony in our country.

5. That the Lord would cover the production of the Life-Study of
Genesis in Romanian, volume by volume, in a steady flow, so that the
saints in the country would get to be regularly fed with the riches
of this classic of Brother Lee.

In the Lord's unique flow, standing one with you saints for the
Lord's present recovery,

The coworkers in Bucharest"
