And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
Praise the Lord for all he is doing around the world. In the last month we have seen, and heard reports of souls saved everywhere!
We were blessed to go to Germany again for thanksgiving. Going to military and German churches. Their love offerings always cover our expenses.
Their friendship and fellowship is always worth more than anything. They sent back enough toys, and treats to make this Christmas memorable for the orphans, the children in the villages and us.
The three year old girl (Elisha) with the hand melted in the fire had surgery, and is healing fine. Seven boys in Pericei have done a great job of memorizing verses for Louis the last several months, and Samuel (boy who was hit by a car) is doing well. His new baby sister has colic, so Uliana could use your prayers.
The rest of the Roma struggle as Romania is making it hard for them to even get firewood as they need. It has been very cold and snowy the last few weeks.
We have given out a thousand bibles also in the last month. Some King James, and the last of our Hungarian ones. With many requests for them I need to go get more from Pastor Zsolt in Debrecen. The churches in Hungary can always use your prayers. Praise God for a biblical, local church!
Pray you all have a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. Seed sown and watered, souls saved, and our Father glorified.
Blessed,
Mark 4:3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
Shannon and I returned safe to Romania last Friday night, and the family has been celebrating with a supply of Little Debbie's that is running out fast.
Services have been wonderful, the kids at the orphanage missed us so much, and we gave 60 bibles there. The workers were impressed with the quality and one girl said she needed an extra one for her religion teacher, because "she needs to read the bible!" We will take more on Saturday.
Paula took care of things well so I only had a few things around the house to do and then some traveling to check out the house in Baia Sprie, get a load of wood for the church in Periciei. Delivered 150 Bibles to Baia Mare. And witnessed to several people I have been befriending.
We took several hundred bibles to Nasaud and Lunca Ilvei and visited old friends. Not enough time to see everyone this trip, but always sowing however we can. Our first 500 bibles will be gone tomorrow and will need more next week.
We sent out about 100 introduction letters, and this week I researched hundreds of church web sites and sent request looking for meetings in the spring. You can get a lot done when your sleep is all messed up by major time changes. We must sow bountifully.
The whole family will be in the States March till July returning to Romania in time for summer children ministries. We need a furlough, and to recover support so we can keep sowing in the fields.
We let go of the building in Zalau, then our life insurance, weekly trips to Dersida and Salajeni, half of what we did at the orphanage, and our own VBS plans this summer, then our health insurance and furlough plans this fall. Always a cost when you step up to do right. We can no longer pay Louis a salary after December.
I was broken but not defeated, rejoicing to be put in a place where God could show me, and teach me things, so He can do more! We're learning to glory in our tribulation.
And what God has taught me this year far exceeds any trouble, because I can see He is preparing us for several more years in the field. Many opportunities before the Lord returns to sow, so much everyday. Invited to visit a large children ministry next week!
Stick to Gods Word. Be careful of books, traditions and teachings of men. Follow Christ! And be faithful to walk with Him.
With a pure heart, and a clean conscience, Paul Pierucki

1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
Yes! It is Gods will for you to be saved, to walk in the truth, to have a pure heart and consience, to have the victory over your besetting sin and deliver you from guilt and shame of your past failure! How can we not just love the truth of Gods word, and the promise of his answer to prayer will always be yes, when we ask according to his promises.
After a month God restored $4500 of our emergancy fund. We sold 15 acres of land years ago and put all the money into the ministry. It was a great boost and that is where the original fund came from so it helps to know it is available.
Finding out many pastors are going without pay, getting jobs and missionaries are loosing support everywhere, it is heartbreaking to know that ministries have to be cut around this world, when God would want us to do more, not less to tell others of his salvation. Don't let Satan blow your light out. Yes, much is going on, but we have such promises from God. Shine for Jesus!
God uses us everywhere, and everything you give. God bless you all and your faithfulness! A young lady was saved in Iowa, almost a whole church went to the alter one night and even though they have some serious struggles gave us a thousand dollar love offering, my brothers fiance was saved, Paula's aunt went to glory and she has been praying for her family and pleading with me to corner them all. Our brother in-law had a quadrupal by-pass last month and last night he asked me how are we sure God will save us? He believed God!
It does not get any better than this! I have plenty of critics but God is my God and I know him enough to introduce him to others. If you give to others his love and knowledge now, in eternity you will see fruit we do not even see here.
How can God give the increase if we do not sow and water?

Acts 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Paul met Jesus and was converted against his former will. I have asked God why don’t you knock people off their horse today and speak to them so they can be saved and the Lord assures me he does, He confronted me one day long ago. The pricks are Gods Spirit speaking to our heart about the truth of sin, of righteousness and judgment. God wants all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. He is working still and men are striving with God.
Last few weeks have been so busy, friends from England stayed with us passing out a lot of scriptures, got the old van running and brought new visitors to our services. Our water turned real bad and been working on wells and pumps all week. I’m probably the only person in Romania that has been a Culligan man so next week it’s a search for softeners.
We took possession of our building Friday and cleaned, prepared with 28 chairs for services tomorrow and have been told we will have 10 extra souls at least, pray for some to cry out “what must I do to be saved!”
Please pray for Josiah Herring, a friend’s son who has a brain tumor. They are church planters in Idaho and his grandpa led me to the Lord when Jesus knocked me off my horse.
Pray for people to stop resisting the Holy Ghost, told a old gypsy friend yesterday that he needs to quit being religious and just trust Christ. Some people God has given over and will not prick their heart anymore. If you are putting God off you are making the most tragic choice for eternity, surrender like Paul did.

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
This is what God said, you must be born again to see the kingdom of God so you need to trust, put your faith in Jesus Christ according to the promises in the word of God for this spiritual birth, God says so! The only one who cannot lie and changes not.
To clarify our prayer letter the main Romanian translation is equal to an NIV and is missing the deity of Christ, promises of having salvation now, teaches baptism and works for salvation and twist many doctrines. I can assure you it has caused much confusion and deception in this land so full of people.
So for several years we have used and supported a TR translation being done that is right for the Romanians to be saved and serve God. Think of 2nd Timothy 2:15 and 3:16, these verses were not even translated properly.
This country needs Bible believing churches so they need a bible and this summer there will be the first 2,000 finished Bibles printed in Cluj for $10 a piece.
Several of the missionaries are asking if a church could purchase 10 bibles and between us the funds should come together. If you would like to help at all in any way please let me know by email or a note with our support by June.
This Bible will make a difference; it�s the word of God that made the difference for us. The only true authority on earth that all are accountable too.

Ge 24:26 - And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
Ge 24:27b - I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
I used this years ago in a prayer letter and know it doing the work of a missionary. Before I only knew the will of God and saw the hand of God working very little but since 2002 it can be sometimes daily, and truthfully it doesn�t even make sense to me since I agree with most of our critics.
Bowing down amazed that God desires to use us and leads according to his will. I know I get in his way but he is able to work around us to bless others.
I appreciate all the response to last weeks email. I used the counsel to assure the church that everyone agreed that it was wrong what they did and it was not just my opinion, and the Pastor in Spain told me he did not know all the details and asked me to pastor the work till his return.
We spent Sunday morning going over why it was wrong, local church doctrine and the confusion of accepting different faiths. (We have been fighting this battle here since coming to Romania and were being a little sarcastic last week too.) There is only one faith and that is in Jesus Christ according to the word of God. Any thing else is not the same faith. Several men knew this, a few got mad and left, Louis stood for the truth and after their deacon spoke the others seen and apologized. The main man was very sorry and we gave much instruction on only following Christ by his word and not what man accepts or has created.
I have been very frustrated this fall wanting to start a church in Zalau (around80,000 souls) but God gave me no peace or direction, so I see why because he built this work in Dersida and desires his children to walk in the truth. I don�t understand everything and cannot reason most but did anyone consider that a church of 40 is just as important to God as one of 200. I like being in the way and worshipping the Lord. You have a purpose to God.

We go three times a week, it is a 45 minute drive and we take balls, Frisbees and other toys (you never leave with what you brought). Sometimes snacks and drinks and play with the kids for three hours, teach lessons and speak with them about the truths of God.
All (our) kids have special friends and so does Louis and Alex, about 30 to 40 kids (ages 2-18) come out to play and the 5-12 are the roughest. They grow up in a world of fighting and undisciplined so the play can get very rough! Pinching, biting, hitting, slapping and spiting are common.
When you arrive there are many hugs and kisses, jealousy can get out of hand but you really love them all and they love you and you will have several of them hanging on you the whole time and leave tired and sore but blessed.

I am overwhelmed this week with the amount of work that could be done. Had a wonderful service in Dershida and rested a few days before going to Budapest. Spent the day speaking with Pastor Frauenhofer and then speaking at their church that evening. What a nice family who are tender to God doing what they can. Spent much time in prayer this week looking at the amount of lost people everywhere and realizing we are hardly scratching the surface.
Almost every missionary I know is greatly limited by funds and most churches struggle too but truly the greatest need in every work is labourers. What would happen if everyone would do something? What could we do to encourage one another to do more or to make more of a difference in each one of our churches?

Been to a whole bunch of mission conferences, around great missionaries and the preaching has been saturating my soul. Listening to Phil Stringer this week and if every pastor had his perspective it would sure change things. He figures the solution to every church problem is take on more missionaries.
Every church is commanded to preach to every nation and what little we are doing is hardly making a scratch. It is more blessed to give but we are afraid God will leave us broke.

Then back wandering Iowa before once again heading for our family in MI. Many pastors and fiends tell me they read these reports and enjoy them, plus pray for those mentioned. If you would rather not receive it please just block or let me know. I am only spamming Gods people to my knowledge for prayer and praise. I know His will for our family and we are just following Gods heart for a perishing people in His world and trying to encourage others.
THANKS! paul
World report with
the Word and Work
Acts 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Paul met Jesus and was converted against his former will. I have asked God why don't you knock people off their horse today and speak to them so they can be saved and the Lord assures me he does, He confronted me one day long ago. The pricks are Gods Spirit speaking to our heart about the truth of sin, of righteousness and judgment. God wants all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. He is working still and men are striving with God.
Last few weeks have been so busy, friends from England stayed with us passing out a lot of scriptures, got the old van running and brought new visitors to our services. Our water turned real bad and been working on wells and pumps all week. I'm probably the only person in Romania that has been a Culligan man so next week it's a search for softeners.
We took possession of our building Friday and cleaned, prepared with 28 chairs for services tomorrow and have been told we will have 10 extra souls at least, pray for some to cry out "what must I do to be saved!"
Please pray for Josiah Herring, a friend's son who has a brain tumor. They are church planters in Idaho and his grandpa led me to the Lord when Jesus knocked me off my horse.
Pray for people to stop resisting the Holy Ghost, told a old gypsy friend yesterday that he needs to quit being religious and just trust Christ. Some people God has given over and will not prick their heart anymore. If you are putting God off you are making the most tragic choice for eternity, surrender like Paul did.
"Ye must be born again" Jesus said it, not man Paul
