A Call to Fall  On Our Knees in Prayer
Sunday, July 5th, 2009
A full year before they signed the Declaration of Independence, America’s Founding Fathers proclaimed July 20, 1775, a day of public humiliation, fasting, and prayer because of their great need for divine intervention in the future of the new world.  God prescribes a very specific type of prayer that is required for national spiritual transformation.  His healing begins only after we fall to our knees and take responsibility for the condition of our nation by corporate and individual sins, as the prophet cried out from captivity: 
“We have sinned and done wrong.  We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws.”  (Daniel 9:5)
God has entrusted a message of national transformation to His people.  He calls them to humble, repentant prayer and promises to heal their land if they seek His face and turn from their wicked ways:
 “If my people, who are called by
my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will
heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

You Are Always Welcome Here
One of the greatest pleasures in life is the blessing of family and friends.  That’s especially true in a growing church like ours, so we never want to  take anyone we know for granted.  The message of the Gospel in its simplest form is that God loved people so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die in our place because of our sins.  This brings us into peace with God and opens the avenues for change in our life so we may receive the fullness of the blessings from God.  We at River of Life Church love you also.  We want to get acquainted with you and worship with you.

                                                                     Jerry Maston, Sr. Pastor

Romanian Missionaries Speak
The Romania mission work is making great inroads into the schools,
homes and government of the Transylvanian region of Romania. 
Pastor Nico Gatea is a native of Romania while his wife,
Caprice Scott Gatea, is a native of Ranger, Texas. 
They reside with their teen-age daughter, Nicole, in the town of Ocna Mures located in the heart of the Transylvanian region in Romania.
This mission work was birthed in 1990 following the overthrow of the socialistic/communist party of the time.  The Gateas saw a tremendous
need among the poorest of the gypsy people.  They began feeding
several hundred young children hot soup and/or  bread in shifts and
teaching them about Jesus as the children waited for their turn to eat. 
The Gateas are currently pastoring three growing churches and
conducting Bible studies in a fourth work, as well as heading a large
feeding and outreach program for children and caring for an orphanage. 
Caprice teaches Religion fulltime in Romania’s public school system. 
This in itself is proof of good changes taking place in this post-communist
country.  If their schedule sounds busy, that’s because it is. 
Nico and Caprice, and their daughter, Nicole, minister 24/7 to
precious people who have lived generation upon generation
without hope and in deep poverty, under harsh communist rule. 
Now, a new generation is growing up in Romania with hope for their
future and their nation’s future.
The Gateas give a strong influence and support to pastors in the large
surrounding area.  What this mission team represents will challenge and
inspire all who hear to become more active in each one’s own sphere of
ministry and leadership.
