Dear Friends,
Hope this letter finds you doing well!
Romania Trip – September 19 – October 2 I returned to Romania to attend a leadership conference hosted by Dr. Paul Chappell and by the church I will serve with in starting deaf ministry (Pastor Tim Tyler). During the conference I spent time getting to know other missionaries and pastors in Europe and shared deaf ministry information with a few who showed interest in either my ministry or in reaching deaf in their country. I also reconnected with my Romanian church family and made further plans for my move to Romania this coming year. Thank you to all who prayed for this trip!
Since returning to the States, I have been traveling and speaking in various meetings in Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Currently I am working to schedule the remaining meetings needed to raise the last 20% of my support. I am also working on many details that need to be done in preparation for my move to Romania.
Blessings of Deputation – Pre-field ministry continues to be such a great journey with the Lord! He has gently taught me more about Himself and helped me to grow in truth. He has abundantly provided for me and this ministry as I travel and prepare for Romania. He has given many financial partners, friends, prayer partners, advisers, and a very supportive home church. And He has also provided many opportunities for me to learn and to grow in various aspects of ministry (serving on mission trips, speaking in children’s camp, ladies conferences, schools, colleges, and churches). Recently the Lord provided a chance for me to attend a five-day conference on Biblical counseling. I am just so thankful for all that God has done!
Praises:
My support level is now at 80%.
A young couple gave me a new iPad for use in ministry.
Prayer:
I need church meetings for January. Please pray for wisdom and grace as I book these meetings and travel and speak.
May God bless and keep you this Christmas season in His great truth and grace,
Nicole Condra
