September Ministry Update September 5, 2006 Suzie Benforado Missionary in Cluj Romania Dear Friends, We just returned from a week in the mountains! So many great things happened that it is hard to know where to begin! I surely can’t tell you all, but here are some highlights: “Radical Life” Camp for High School Age Kids We just got back from 6 awesome days of camp. Lots of fun and games, new friends and even more than that…God came to camp. He made Himself known in many awesome and supernatural ways. I’m sure those kids (nor I) will soon forget this encounter with God at this mountain camp. We went with 27 staff. Seven were intercessors praying at least 6 hours a day for God to break into each life, as well as various other needs of the camp. Ten were camp counselors. Four were members of a Christian band that came from the USA. They were awesome about creating a fun atmosphere that led naturally into the young people worshipping the God they were just getting to know. Salvation… We also had a group of 40 high school age campers. When they arrived they were almost entirely composed of non-Christians. Our purpose was evangelism…for these young people to come to know Jesus. We had a week full of miracles! According to our best estimate, only one person left without YET accepting Christ as their personal Savior! SALVATION -- the greatest miracle of all! Diana came to camp at the invitation her classmate, Maria. Maria accepted Christ at last year’s camp and was radically saved. Maria worked on Diana all year. Diana came to camp with only one purpose -- wanting to meet God. The first night of camp she was delivered of some bondages from her past. The second night she received Jesus as her Savior, the third night she was touched powerfully by God. She has already committed to be part of our church. She is hungry for God and can’t get enough of Him.

Healings… Bogdan had a cracked tooth that had become badly infected. He arrived at camp in intense pain and his jaw noticeably swollen. The first day a couple of our leaders prayed for him and all the pain left. The second day, David prayed for him and the swelling deflated under David’s hands. The third day, Bogdan noticed that the tooth itself was no longer cracked! His tooth and the infection were completely healed. This same boy was also cross eyed. On the fifth day of the camp, David prayed for him and his eyes straightened! Amazing! Denisa had been involved deeply in Satanism. During camp she accepted Christ as her Savior and shortly after went through intense deliverance. Afterward she said she felt so free! What a joy to watch her utterly throw herself into worshipping God after He had set her free! I also had to the privilege to pray for her back where she had suffered pain for years due to scoliosis. While I was praying for her with my hand on her back, I felt something move in her back…not really a pop…more like a stretching or extension of her back. She left to check herself out and came back into the room shortly later crying for joy and testifying that her back was healed! Rut was already a Christian when she came to camp. She arrived with some kind of skin problem consisting of eruptions and open sores all over her body. Daily she heard an additional part of the good news -- Jesus heals. The verses about healing in her Bible came alive in a new fresh and living way. Though she had suffered with this condition for three weeks, her response to what she read was to pray with faith for her own healing. By the next morning her skin was clean, no sores, no scars. Voicu was saved at camp. Daily he received a fresh touch by God. Even his friends were commenting how quickly he was changing. His biggest problem was balancing his new found relationship with God with his “cool” image in front of the guys. The following situation gave him a breakthrough: Maia, one our intercessors complained of pain in her legs. Voicu suggested to Ocsi, one of the camp counselors, “Hey let’s pray for her”. So the two of them prayed for Maia. The funny thing was that Voicu really went for it, praying louder than Ocsi. Shortly afterwards the pain left Maia’s legs. Voicu was pleasantly shocked! And the guys that had been laughing before… found new respect for this new believer that was putting into practice what he had just recently found out himself.

Gogu (one of the toughest boys at camp, still holding out on day four of camp) injured his chest during the camp playing a rough game (a cross between leap frog and flesh pile) with the boys. He complained of sharp pain in his chest and difficulty breathing. He asked us to take him to the hospital. We prayed for him instead. We prayed for about a half hour and he got progressively better and better, until he was comfortable with only occasional sharp pains. And what’s more, God had also healed a back problem that Gogu had suffered with for years. The last day of camp he gave a joyous testimony of what God had done in his life. God completed Gogu’s healing Saturday at church. He is now entirely pain free. Radical Disciples… We are not content to stop with only conversions and nice testimonies about what happened at camp. Our desire is for whole hearted commitments to living for God which brings radical life changes and makes radical disciples. We want these new converts to grow and mature so God can use them for the purposes of His kingdom. Of course we want as many as possible to come to our church where we are sure they will get the teaching and training necessary. So please do pray for us now too as we have the very wonderful problem of what to do with all these brand new baby Christians. How do we transform them from fish into fishers of men?! What a good problem to have! Please Pray… Please pray for us as we host a second evangelistic camp for college age young people, September 12-17. We desire the same or still greater results. May God Himself come and fill the valley with His presence and glory. Pray for… 1. The band coming from Canada 2. God’s provision of an additional $1000 for camp costs. 3. God’s presence to soften every heart and overwhelm every young person with His love, presence and power 4. Healings of every physical and emotional problem. 5. Every available space to be filled by those God is drawing to Himself 6. Protection of the staff and campers in the battle for their souls 7. Good weather…no rain and moderate temperatures 8. Relationships and connections with each of the campers

9. The transitioning process of bringing the participants from camp and into church. 10. Physical and spiritual refreshment and strength of the staff, as well as unity as we enter this second camp Thank you so much for your prayers! Suzie Your financial contributions are welcomed!
