ROMANIAN WOMEN MEET BY ZOOM

SAFETY IN THE WILDERNESS

Like silver trumpets through which the angels announce the awakening, so is the good news that comes in spring! For Romanian Women’s Ministries, the good news of spring began with a Zoom meeting with Heather Dawn Small, director of the General Conference Women’s Ministries Department, on Sabbath, March 6. Almost one hundred women enjoyed the message that she shared with us from the Word of God. Heather encouraged the women to be brave and not to run away from the experience of the wilderness. She taught us how to understand the will of God when we are in the desert and how to have joy in our hearts in these circumstances.
Step by step, she showed us the presence of God in our trials and how He intervenes, and the precious lessons He wants us to learn when we are in the wilderness in order to become mature in our Christian experience.
At the end of the sermon, she showed us an image of a little green plant in a dry forest and said: “My dear sisters, if you think you are dead inside, and you have nothing left, look at this little green plant. This little green plant represents you. Remember, God is with you and He never let you alone. God fills your hearts with joy, hope and peace.”
We were lifted up in prayer by Dagmar Dorn, director of the Women’s Ministries Department at Inter-European Division and the translation was done by Elida Oncea. May God bless us all with joy, hope and peace!
