Very Talented Friend in Moldova Honored for His Talents

Many of you have seen photos on facebook of our friends in Moldova, and you may recognize this young man that we wanted to share good news about with you. His name is Daniel, and he is Pastor Sasha and Sora Ala's oldest son. We have always known that he was very talented in art. In fact, he gave us one of his paintings when we left Moldova in 2007, and we had many comments on his painting when people saw it. Last year, Daniel and his parents invited us to attend an art exhibit at the library near his home. We gladly accepted the invitation, but we did not realize, until after we arrived, that he was being given a first-place award for his paintings among his peers. We were thrilled to be a part of this special day in his life. We know that you will enjoy viewing his paintings as much as we did! Please pray for Daniel as he grows in his faith in the Lord and as He looks to God for direction in his life. Pray also, for his parents as they help to make decisions for his life. There are four beautiful boys in their family, and they have a sweet spirit and a great love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Smile, God loves you!

Greetings from France,

In the last years I have been drawn to seek on how he would want me to contribute positively to Moldova. I am an Artist Missionary to Europe and currently in negotiations with OM Arts to come under the OM Europe structure. My name is Ron Régnier.

One aspect of my ministry ArtWorks is trying to nurture young artists of faith (and help their parents!). The young man you mention here made me want to write to mention that I would be happy to try to be of service. Perhaps with arts & faith contacts, or books, or events in E-Europe. Just let me know. Possibly I will be in Chisniau this Fall...drop me a line if you want.

God is Good!

Ron
