DESIRE - Aug 5 Today's Perspective

PERSPECTIVES FROM DAVID'S 7 SECRETS

Chapter One "Bring on the Giants" p.7

YOUR HEARTS’ DESIRE

"I desire to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart."

David, Ps. 40:8

What country in the world has the most touring Continental groups in 2016? 

ROMANIA!

This is an unbelievable statistic because, not that long ago, this country was controlled by communists and the Gospel was suppressed.  The Continentals toured to Romania in the 80's anyway.  That group and the message left the desire in a young woman's heart who saw the group to do the same

in her own country.

I met Anca Cioria (now deceased) in the 90's at an International Continental Executive Director’s Meeting in DeBron, Holland.  Anca spent two days on the train getting there.  She was filled with excitement and anticipation.  The desire of her heart was to have a Romanian Continental group.

She did the three things David talked about in Psalm 37:3-5. She put her "trust in the Lord", her "delight was in the Lord", she had decided to "commit her way to The Lord", and He responded by giving her "the desire of her heart".

Today, the Romanian Continentals have the largest touring ministry of any Continental operation around the globe.  Eight groups hit the road this year.  They tour the world wherever there are Romanian churches.  I saw them last year in Southern California.  Their choral sound was exquisite and their vocal delivery flawless.  It was fantastic.  Take a look at the Continental website and you can see and hear them:

Today the Romanian office is run by Iosif Catuna (Joseph).

 Iosif and Lavinia

He has plenty of belief and energy to see this ministry continue to grow.  It is a true picture that the hardest and most difficult situations become the most successful by reaching out, meeting needs, and never giving up.   It is the beautiful story of how the least became the greatest in the hands of the Lord.  Do the same!  Trust, Delight and Commit your way to The Lord" and what David wrote in verse 6 will come true for you....

HE WILL MAKE YOU SHINE
