We slept a little late today and then got up, Ana David met us and walked with us to Casa Josef for breakfast. After breakfast, we went to one of the local schools. We talked with five classrooms of children. We are able to share the Gospel in the public school here in Beius. The purpose of the music camp is to share the Gospel through the use of music. The people of Romania suffered for many years under the oppression of communism. When you walk down the streets of Beius there are not many smiles on the faces of the older people. Only the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him crucified can change and soften the hearts of these people. Today we had the privilege of meeting two missionaries staying in the house at Casa Josef. The are American's who first met Peter and Ana in 1983. They first came here to smuggle in Bibles and speaking the name of Jesus would get you arrested. Now this very town where they smuggled Bibles, is free from communism and the Gospel is able to be spread, even in the public schools. It made me think of what I was doing in 1983....high school, worrying about how my hair looked that day, what would others think of me, what would I wear for the day. I know that is "just how it was" for me but it seems that once we know the real truth of the Gospel we MUST as Believers, teach our children what is really important in this life. Do we teach them to as Paul said...to know only Christ and Him crucified? Are we really willing to lay down our lives for the sake of our Savior, to share the Gospel with others even if it means we might loose our lives?
