Missionary Letter

Dear Praying Friends and Faithful Supporters,

We would like to start out this report by thanking our wonderful supporters for their faithful support and prayers. We are approaching our six year anniversary of being on the field and realize that without you none of this would have been possible. With all of our hearts - THANK YOU!

These past couple of months has been exciting as we were able to see the Lord working in many mysterious ways. We would like to share a short praise here about how the Lord provides. We were in the capital of Romania with an elderly church member for a doctor's appointment. After looking for the hard to come by parking spot, we found one, pulled in, and there on the ground next to our van was a tire. We did not think anything of it, but a young man with us pointed out that the tire was the same exact size as our van. We looked it over carefully and found nothing wrong with it and placed it in the van. The next day we were driving through a mountain pass when we ran over a huge boulder lying in the middle of the dark road. We were headed to a church service and had no time to stop, but just continued to drive another hour or so until we arrived. Just as we pulled into the church the tire went flat. It was then that we noticed the boulder had bent the metal rim of our front tire and the rubber of the tire was shredding. We could not believe that the Lord had allowed us to make it all the way to church before the tire went flat! There was no way, humanly speaking, that a tire could hold air with the rim bent that badly. How did we make it to church? - Everyone began to wonder? Just then, we remembered the tire that we had found the day before in the capital. The day before our flat, God provided the replacement. Wow, is God good or what? It is stories like this that reminds us of our faithful group of prayer warriors holding us up in their prayers. Thank you!

On the ministry side, we were able to baptize 9 people in the month of June. What a blessing it is to see Romanians who were so deeply ingrained with Greek Orthodox traditions, break free and unashamedly follow the Lord in believer's baptism. For many this decision is not without its consequences, as family and friends forsake them.

We started up our summer soul winning program and are again amazed at all the Lord continues to do. We have received calls from all over the country as a result of our Gospel Tracts.

As you can see in the picture, our church in Tirgu Ocna is still undergoing some remodeling. Each week we have visitors coming to see all that the Lord is doing there as we attempt to change a once bar into the House of God! We would appreciate your prayers as we seek to complete the building before summer ends.

Our church in the village of Haret has been on fire for the Lord. We have seen new people each service! We are still amazed at what the Lord is doing in this tiny village out in the middle of nowhere. We have people traveling from 7 different cities and villages for the services! The harvest truly is plenteous.

As August approaches, we covet your prayers for our summer teen camp. We are asking the Lord to work once again and touch the lives of these teenagers. Teen camp is always wonderful time, but like any victory it is not without its battles. Please pray that the Lord will work this August in a special way and call many Romanian and Gypsy teenagers into His harvest through our summer camp.

On the family side, we were blessed to have my father, Thomas Boyle, spend two weeks with us here on the mission field. It was refreshing to have the fellowship of family. We also have a young girl from Arkansas, Angelica, staying the summer with us! We encourage visits! We sure love the company and we know that the Lord will work in your life as you get a glimpse of life on the mission field.

Thank you again and again for your faithful prayers and support. Know that the Lord is doing great things here in Romania on your part.

Your  Servants For Jesus' Sake,

The Boyle Family,

II Corinthians 4:5
