Prayer Letter
Dear praying friends,
Psalms 150:2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
God is worthy of praise! Having many favorite things to do one of the best is taking a bible and showing someone Jesus saves forever. I have talked to thousands and many have said they asked forgiveness from God but not believing Gods promise, continue on hopeless and James chapter one is clear that that man has not received anything from the Lord. But when you believe Gods promises you get it all, and faith brings rejoicing like the Ethiopian Eunuch. Praise the Lord for souls saved at the county jail, bus visitation, nursing home ministries and release time bible classes we have been privileged to work with at our home church; these are the mighty acts of God, amen.
We had wonderful dinners with both Paula and my families over the holidays and we really appreciate all the cards and gifts for the family on Christmas and birthdays. We always look forward to hearing from you and we love when we get photos too.
Paula’s mom went to heaven Sunday January 20th, Paula is the baby and it has been very hard on her and her family for they are so close. We are praying many will get saved and God will change some very rough lives through this. And very thankful she was able to spend time daily with her and help out much.
We will be in Alabama then Texas for some of February; in March I have a mission conference in Colorado then Ohio, one in April in Iowa and if anyone else would like us to come by please contact me, I do have many open dates.
Planning on going to Romania on May 20th and staying for we miss the people (some even miss usJ) and can be very busy till the Lord comes back. There is probably someone on every street in the world who has not heard. And a good church is needed in 100’s of cities and 1000’s of villages, not just in Romania but everywhere.
Being in so many churches I’ve seen a successful church is just sowing and watering everywhere possible, loving Jesus and keeping His commands. I hope you each know the blessedness of being involved someway with your focus on seeing Jesus, while living here for eternity. So many false teachings, pray for laborers proclaiming the truth, Jesus saves!
Praise God for His mighty acts, the work of each church and the gospel being preached. He not only changed our eternity but what a wonderful life we have because He set us free and cares.

Prayer Letter
Dear praying friends
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Philippians 1:3 That is what is in our hearts looking back over the year. Even though we stay in the States to raise support God is in control and we have perfect peace we are right where He wants us because of all His provision and the devils opposition.
From June through October we had the most wonderful meetings. I wish I could name everyone for we met so many faithful pastors and church members serving the Lord and learned much too. A missionary gets a taste of bad things but when you focus on what is of God it overwhelms you and He gave over a $1000 a month in new support, glory!
With the dollar so weak $4500 will not last so we pray many are still considering support because we can not return to Romania as planned until we have over $5000 so please pray as I continue to schedule future meetings.
We are not speaking of just family living but ministry money. God gave us enough in love offerings to pay our rent for our apt. and church room till June, and Louis’s salary whom is not only preaching in Nasaud and Petris weekly but translating books. He finished a Bible promise book and is now working on Phil Stringers Baptist Distinctive book.
The Old Testament translation work has run into some financial snags so Louis is helping with that too. He is getting his degrees in English and German so pray for him and souls to be saved. Micu received Christ as his saviour and Nelu’s father has been coming to church. Alex went home for a few months and asks for you to pray he will be a good testimony and see family and friends saved. We cannot forsake our few sheep. Paid $6000 cash for a 2004 Daewoo Matiz for the ministry too! Spend and be spent for God, and we are spent out, amen.
More missionaries have left because it seems to be an impossible field but God cannot straiten people out with a crooked book, and this translation is going to produce more good churches someday. I just came back from Europe and left knowing God has used us and many hearts are waiting our return. Everywhere we went ladies asked for Paula and sent their love. And the Isaacson’s are going to put us on their foundation which will secure us better visa’s when we return in May Lord willing.
God has helped many churches and I desire to be a friend to all even though some brethren treat you as an enemy. God is our faithful friend and He continues to break our hearts for the lost everywhere. Renews daily a desire to do more than possible and then be amazed at what God has done! I would love to preach the gospel all over Europe and I continually add to our web site to help as many as we can. There is missionary helps, lots of salvation material and because missionaries keep translating stuff and we do not communicate like we should I have listed what we know is available. If you support other missionaries in Romania let them know. www.Jesusisworthy.com
If we are going to fulfill our job of preaching to all nations we should recognize God’s men and help one another like our Father commands. Every local church should do what they can.
Willing,
Paul Pierucki

Prayer Letter
Dear praying friends,
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. Psalms 150:6
Jesus Christ is worthy to be praised not cussed. He is worthy of love not hate. He is worthy of honor and power and glory not for us to be ashamed, but of a bold testimony that he is Gods Son and the only way to God.
Just praise Him to everybody, amen. September was full of meetings, great love offerings and even some extra meetings due to car breakdowns. A mechanic did get saved and I was privileged to walk in a parade for the Lord.
A couple more churches voted to start support but we are short for the family to return in November so we go on, amen. (Please note on all checks they are for the Pierucki’s now that we have 3 missionaries sent out of our church.)
Started October with some great meetings and looking forward to several mission conferences, already enjoying a great one in Sioux City and Fort Dodge Iowa and Warren MI. God has been meeting with us faithfully and I am touched by the amount of work He is doing in many hearts.
Our family misses our church and friends in Romania and they miss us. The few are being faithful and God is able and willing to do so much if we follow on. I will go back in November for a few weeks to secure things till spring.
God knows the need and it is His work so just put it in His hands and we are just going to do all we can till we see Him face to face. The Lord did not bring us back just to raise support but to dig much wrong from my heart. I wish it wasn’t there but I am glad He is digging.
God is faithful and we are really blessed in His presence.
Heaven bound!

From Romania July and August Prayer Letter
Dear Praying Friends,
"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:15.
God's message of salvation, to have your name written is only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, never works of any kind and too many are perishing with religion of works with no one telling them what the Bible really says. Where will you spend eternity?
We preach salvation clear, local church, Biblical standards, ecclesiastical separation... Thankful for following God by His Word and to lead others to walk in truth, so thankful for the church in Nasaud and the ministry in Petris walking on. Everyone seems to be doing well and stateside God has honored His work, blessed all the services and given us what is needed daily as the devil continues to attack us.
Thank you for praying as we travel. I am looking forward to great meetings this fall but please pray as our family will be separated much. Several more churches have promised support and several individuals. God does bless even though we are so unworthy but He has much work and I don't want to stop glorifying He Who is so worthy! I asked a Christian dentist for help with dental work unknowing that a sister from church did the same earlier that week; he lost a blessing not because he refused me but I believe God was giving him an opportunity. Reminded me of how many I miss.
Many other churches desire to start support and we are praying they do not forget us. Looking at our budget we dropped from $4000 a month in 2005 to $3500 in 2006. This summer God has brought us up to $4250 so far. Thank you all who are doing more! And our Father has assured me He will meet the needs. We still need more support to stay several years and accomplish more for the Gospel's sake as the economy continues to explode in Romania.
We were saving for a usable van there from the love offerings but I paid the health insurance in full and did get all the kids dental work done - over $5000 total, but glory, all is paid!
I enjoy writing a weekly email report and update the web page weekly too with photos. www.Jesusisworthy.com It has much info and if you have any suggestions let me know. Paula had a scare with here check-ups but all is well and the kids are getting back to full time school. Pray as we try to do better this year.
We go to parks here, door to door, and if all else fails Wal-Mart always is a good place for me to hand out tracts. It shows where America*s heart is.
All our Christian life people have said slow down, take your time, don't be so serious but all we think about is Jesus, Gods word, His desire and will, people all around, and inside crying because God wants to save each soul, it is His heart, does He have yours?
Praying for you too,
Paul Pierucki
