Saturday
Today we had a training day for mentors and prospective mentors. We started with songs, prayer and introductions. It was good to have men from both Baptist and Pentecostal churches. For some, they want to help others because they themselves have come through difficult times. Some have been in prison, others have experienced broken relationships or struggled with bad habits - but all have known God’s mercy, forgiveness and restoration.
Sorin gave a bit of background to Damascus Trust’s work in Romania and in particular the mentoring programme in Oradea Prison. Andy then provided some Bible teaching, looking at God’s dealings with mankind and how it helps us in our work with those who are imprisoned by addictions and bad habits.
We finished by talking about the practicalities involved in our mentoring programme and had opportunity for current mentors to share from their experiences. A second day together will be run next Saturday.
Because the Core Team didn’t meet last night we all met up for supper at Sorin & Reli’s and then had our meeting afterwards. Always good to get together.

Tomorrow Andy is speaking at three church services. Some of the ACV volunteers will be going with him to share in songs and testimonies. Please pray for each of these opportunities that there will be more interest and support from individuals and church fellowships.
Until next time.
Goodnight
Father God, Thank you for the team at Damascus Trust and the Path of Life programme. We lift all the team to You Lord, and the good works they are doing in the name of Jesus. Father, may there be more Divine opportunities and appointments that You will set before them, and thank You Lord that You have guided more denominational churches together in a Spirit of unity and peace to help this cause.
