One of the most wonderful things about ministering through Beautiful Gate Translations is the blessing of hearing from our precious Sisters in Christ abroad - their life changing testimonies because of our translated Bible study resources.
Emily Ford (purple shirt), missionary in Hincesti, Moldova writes,
"Thanks so much for all the work that has gone into translating these Bible studies and making them available for us."
These darling ladies live in and around Hincesti, Moldova and have fully embraced the latest Romanian Bible study we supplied to them called
Eliberata: calatoria Personala evenimentele (Breaking Free: the Journey, the Stories) by Beth Moore. Here are some additional tender and transparent comments from Emily...
"As a missionary, it is very hard to find literature in Romanian, so to have a Bible study for women in our language, Romanian, has been such a blessing. I used to have to write my lessons and then work on translating it into Romanian before I taught my lesson. It would take me more than 10 hours to work on my lesson and then translate it and be prepared to teach it every week. As a mother of three young children, two of which I am homeschooling, it was becoming harder and harder to be able to find the time to be thoroughly prepared for our women's Bible study. Having Beth Moore's Bible study translated into Romanian, has not only given me a resource in the national language, it has taken a huge burden off of my shoulders, so that I can still give my children and family the attention I need to.
The Bible study,
Breaking Free or Eliberata, has been making a huge impact on the ladies that I am working with. We are going through the study at a much slower pace, because the women here have never seen or done a Bible study similar to this one and wouldn't end up doing much of the homework for the week. We work on one day of work every week and though it will take us more than a year to finish the Bible study, the ladies are learning so much. Most of them can hardly wait for Friday evening and what they will learn and study that week. We read the lesson and answer the questions together. I always have done the lesson during the week, so know where we are going and am able to then guide the lesson much easier. One of my ladies said a few weeks ago, "I feel like she has written every lesson just for me and is talking about my life right now." Another lady said she always walks away after our Bible study with something new to think about and meditate on the next week."
So I ask you...is there anything more beautiful? This area of Moldova is a poorer region, but they are rich in the Word and growing more deeply in love with Jesus. We are honored and blessed to be a part of Emily's wonderful ministry.
NEWS FLASH !
We will be launching a new Romanian Bible study translation project later this summer, and would be so thankful if you partner with us to bless our Christian Sisters abroad like Emily and her group of ladies. We really appreciate your prayers, encouragement and support.
