We try to reach out to our community in every way possible and one of the highlights from last year was the Valentine's dinner. We had a dinner on Valentine's day again this year and it was a blast. We had wonderful food made mostly by Simona ( we helped also with the side dishes), we had games, songs and obviously we had the Word of God.
What we have discovered is how broken many couples are, you see a good marriage but that is only a nice facade behind it there are broken hearts, sadness, hurt feelings... A lot of young people are already divorced after only a few years of marriage or there are long marriages where love is not there anymore. Last year we had the joy of starting a Bible study with a couple who called out for help. This year the same thing with a different couple. We are honored to be able to help always remembering that God is the one that created marriage and that can also make it work. Pray for us as we faithfully share the Gospel even in counseling, and pray for our friends so that they can understand the need of God in their life. Here are a few pictures of some of the moments of the dinner and some of the friends that decided to spend the evening with us and the word of God.
Every couple got a picture with their mate on a sweet bench decorated with hearts balloons.
This was our table and the friends that came to the dinner, most of them are parents of our daughters' friends.
More friends...
We had a game where the husband was supposed to recognize the wife only by touching hands...you can see we had fun ...
Our husbands also sang songs to us, some of them where pretty bold, some shy but every wife got to see her husband singing her a song and that was so nice.
Some of the wives listening to the song
You might want to apologize if the spelling of words is not correct or if what I wrote is not very clear, Josh is not here with me at the moment, he is in the USA attending the Shepherd's conference in LA.
Please keep praying for us and for our contacts, that we may see people coming to Christ.
