MONDAY MEMO - 2010.06.01

 

Dear Prayer Partners,

 

This Monday Memo is late not only by a day, but also by several weeks.  Our ministries have been filled with activity and we are planning for a very busy summer!

 

May was busy with several special events at our church in Timisoara.  We had our monthly Christian Children’s Club (an evangelistic outreach) and again had over 40 in attendance.  As a result, we have had an average of 23 children in our Sunday School and Junior Church each week.  There have also been visitors from among their parents. On the 15th, a group of 15 teens convoyed through Timisoara on bicycles, arriving at a lakeside park for a picnic and praise time.  Our youth director, Cosmin, and his family have been doing a great job teaching and leading the youth ministries of our church.  He is a postal worker and Ioana is a pre-school teacher, and they have 2 boys, David (5) and Tomas (3).

 

Last Saturday, we had a church picnic at our house and there were about 40 people, most of whom we transported from the city to our home in Buzias.  We ate and played together, as they also welcomed Rebekah back for the summer.  She had arrived the day before and was a bit "out of it", but everyone was so happy to see her again.  There was a real sense of fellowship in the Lord and everyone said, "Let's do that more often!"

Our full concentration and energy is currently directed toward the coming of a large group from Eastland Baptist Church in Tulsa.  We are looking forward to "striving together for the faith of the Gospel" (Phil. 1:27) and have planned special outreach events during their time with us.  Please pray for traveling mercies and for wisdom in all ministry efforts.  We want to allow the Lord to work and to be His servants to accomplish His will.

 

By faith, we are printing 10,000 copies of the DONE book in Romanian, at a price of about 50 cents a copy.  We gave the printer an advance of $2500 and will need to pay the rest over the next 2 months.  Please pray for this need.

 

I'd like to share with you a personal request.  We would like to have John home for a couple of weeks this summer.  It has been a year and a half since he was here, but the cost of travel has increased so much that it may not be possible for him to come.  He just finished his 3rd year at West Coast Baptist College and has been paying his own way through school and serving on the music staff of Lancaster Baptist Church.  We only ask you to pray that the Lord will provide a way if it is His will.

 

Darci and Derrick are doing well in Macon, GA, and we are waiting rather impatiently for the arrival of our first grandson in August.  Debra plans to be there to help in any way she can. 

 

Your prayers and financial gifts greatly appreciated and are having an impact in Romania!  Thank you for your faithfulness.


Your servant in Christ,
Tim J. Tyler
Missionary to Romania

Praises & Prayer: 

Rebekah and Travis are engaged!

Travis Gara and Rebekah have been courting since our last furlough in 2008 when they met in Russelville, AR. He flew to California to surprise her for her birthday with more than just a few gifts.  With the help of our son John and a few of Beka's friends and co-workers, he "set her up" to be totally surprised to see him and even more thrilled when he fell to a knee and asked her to marry him.  Of course she said yes!  They plan for a wedding date in late spring 2011 when we will be home on a short furlough.  Pray for them as they make their special plans.

 

John is finishing his 3rd year at WCBC

Classes are almost over for John as a Junior. He was also elected vice-president for Mission Prayer Band this year.  He will continue to work on staff at Lancaster Baptist Church and also will travel to see us in Romania this summer.  You can see a recent offeratory he played at LBC by clicking on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Spaer9eSsNw .

 

Darci & Derrick are having a baby!

We learned that we are to be grandparents this coming August! Darci and Derrick recently moved to Macon, GA, where Derrick is the children's pastor at Mikado Baptist Church. 

 

Timisoara Independent Baptist Church -

Going and Growing

We have rented another 70 square meter area of the building where our church meets, bringing the total space to 210 square meters used our children's ministry and for God's glory.  We are paying about 1,200 euros a month, but that is about half the going price in the city.  

 

SEEKING OUR OWN PLACE

We are asking the Lord to provide a property in the city for our church to have her own building.  We have located one site that is selling for about 120,000 euros that faces a main boulevard of the city with over 900 square meters of land.  It seems that all properties start at over 100,000 euros; so please pray for the needed funds.  We cannot get loans or other financing here.
