Almost 99% is local. Praise the Lord! This is so wonderful. And recently the churches always come together for regional blending! Sis Cornelia came to visit Bro Hsu's family, we have a short fellowship on how she and Bro Adrian were saved. Below is their testimony," My mother(Cornelia's mother) like to go for christian meeting, but my father do not agree. He saw some bad testimony from some christian, so he feel he is good, do not need to repent. But he die in a young age, so my mother bring me to Baptist Church. As I grown up, a friend of mine, who is very pretty always, go dating with many boys. I feel this is terrible, I do not want to be like her, so I pray about my marriage and ask the Lord for a brohter who is serious to the Lord. Adrian and I were classmate for 12 years. During high school, I realized Adrian did changed a lots and he is serious to the Lord. So, I asked the Lord is he the brother? And we get married at 21 years old. I really feel it is too young to get married at this age but i believe that this is the timing from the Lord.Me and my mother are very close. I will definitely tell her everything in my life. If not because i had married to Adrian, I may not had turn to the recovery, as my mother will sure stop me from meeting with "strange peolple." But since I am married, I just follw Adrian. 1989, Adrian got a copy of " Normal Christian Life" of Watchman Nee in English. It is not a printed copy but just typing copy. He read and he start to collect Watchman Nee's writing and at the same time, translate them in to Romanian. And he get contacted with the brother in US. They write to each other for a few years. In 1994, they met. Brothers from US introduced Bro Witness Lee to Adrian. But Adrian only accept Nee but not Lee. He felt Lee is off. But after the brothers from US left, the Lord speaks to Adrian, and he realised he was wrong. So, he write to the brothers in US. Brothers in US were so happy! from there, we were brought into the church life. Around 22001, brothers and sisters came to Romania to distribute free copy of Bible. A few years later, Rhema started in Romania. Currntly, we have hymnal, holy words of morning revival, and some copy of publication and of course the Rhema sets in Romanian."

Whatever the church leads, we follow. When we attend the training, the brothers fellowship about the burden for propagation. So, we registered. We didn't choose where to go, we have no preferences. Wherever they sent us, we just go. This is our attitude. In service, coordination, we do have difficulties, we do come to negative situation, but we still stay and serve, because no matter how, there are still saints who love the Lord, though the number may be few, we still have to serve."

Turkish Delights Turkey's Deserts Rainbow with her homework This is what Rainbow wrote Bro Yeung's family, from left, Rainbow, Elaine, Timothy and Timson smirnaephesusAegean Sea ISTANBUL I have to leave Istanbul today, I felt really reluctant. the time I spent here is too little, I only met one sister(Sister Ruzana, she is from Armania) beside Bro Yeung's family. How I wish to met more saints here. (cry..............). What impressed me the most is the two kids from Yeung's family. Everyday, Rainbow must read a chapter of story from the Children Bible and write down what she gain(she is only 8 years old). She wrote, "Lord Jesus, You changed Paul, You changed his thought, that he may know You in a new way and believed into You. May You also changed me, strengthen my faith, and also change those who havent known You, that they may know you and believe into You. Amen."When I read what she wrote, my tears almost fell down. The parents is paying the price, so also the children(when the children complaining how boring Turkey is if compare to Hong Kong, Timson said, " Ya loh, here dont even have che zai min(a kind of mee which is very very common in HK)", yet, what occupy their very little heart is the salvation of those who are beside them, the salvation of Turks. The faith was infused into them, just like Moses received the infusion from his mother. May the Lord bless the saints in Istanbul, that the word may be spread, multiplied and prevail, that the golden lampstand can be establish in Turkey and shine brightly for the testimony of Jesus!
