Our children's gospel tracts are printed, and thanks be to the Lord, the printing job was done very well by a printing house we found right here in our own neighborhood.  We got our first copy of the tract just an hour ago, and on our trip back we already saw evidence of how effective a witnessing tool for children this is going to be.  The comic-book style and the attractive photos of the tract cause children to see them in our hands and want them even before we take any proactive step to share the gospel.  We praise the Lord for this opportunity that the tract is presenting us to share the gospel.   

   Tomorrow, Lord-willing, Lili's mom is coming up to help us with the baby for a few days so that we can do a mass evangelism campaign of outreach to children and families, using these tracts with our balloon animal ministry in the parks Friday (kids out of school for Easter break still), and then again on Saturday and Sunday.  Lord-willing, Monday, we'll be going to one of the public schools for students up to 8th grade and distributing the tracts to students who want them as they enter or leave the school grounds at the end of their day. 

   Please pray for the fruitfulness of this outreach in young people's lives, as they are at an open-hearted stage of life, and pray also for open doors for parents and family members to hear the gospel through it.  Pray for open doors so that opposition to our work for the gospel will not prevail.  And pray for us to have boldness from the Holy Spirit to do this witnessing.  We need prayers for boldness even more than we did when we came here two years ago this month to begin the church-planting ministry, because now that we've been here a while, we are recognized by a large segment of the city's population, and it is well-known why we are here, so opposition to us is much more vocal and fears can rise up within us much more easily than ever before.  So pray for God to strengthen us and our resolve, to never be ashamed of the gospel and always be willing to share God's love and His message with others, even if there is a cost to us personally for doing so. 

   On one other note, if you'd like to have the gospel tract for use in your ministry in Romania, contact us about that, and if you want English or Spanish language versions for ministry in America, visit the tract's publishers at Evantell and look up the "Welcome to Heaven" tract.
