To all our friends, family members, and fellow servants of Christ, Greetings in the name of the Lord! We hope that this entry finds you feeling well, and loving Jesus more with each passing day.
We miss each of you and think of you often; we pray for you, and we are encouraged because we know that you are praying for us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you again so much for all your praying; your prayers are greatly needed, and appreciated. Thank you for coming into the presence of God on our behalf; what a remarkable and exquisite privilege! Remember, "prayer moves the hand that moves the world" (E.M. Bounds). How awesome to serve the One to Whom this quote refers!
This picture of our family is the latest one that we have, taken on January 23rd 2007. We had to go into Serbia for a couple of hours and then come back into Romania to get our passports stamped, and while we were there we spent some time at some old Roman ruins. It was interesting and fun to see the ruins, and the kids got to run around too. We also had a surprise encounter with the Serbian border police! (don't worry, they were very nice).
On January 28th, Geta and I celebrated six years of marriage together; time sure passes quickly; we know it will only seem to pass more quickly as time goes on.
Speaking of time passing quickly, our children are growing faster every day. Joseph, our oldest, is now 4 years old; our daughter Ammishaddai will turn 2 on February 10th; and our youngest, Elijah, will turn 1 on February 26th.
Thank you again for praying, and being such a blessing to us; now let us leave you with what we hope will be a great encouragement for you. A song that has meant a lot to us and has spoken to our hearts in a special way (and which we sang at the mountain churches we were recently in) is the song "Redeeming Love"; we'd like to put the words from the chorus here for you: "Redeeming love, a love that knows no limit; Redeeming love, a love that never dies; My soul shall sing throughout the endless ages, the adoration of this great love on high".
May God bless you today, and everyday.
In Christ, Andrew & Geta & Kids

Dear Andrew,Geta and kids,
I am so glad that I found this site! It is such an encouragement to hear about all that you are doing and to see your children's beautiful faces!
Life is going well back here. God( as always!) is so faithful in His care and provision. The kids are growing up so fast! Lydia will be two in May. She is such a good helper to me! Bethany is almost three monthes. It amazes me how fast time flies!
Be sure that you are not forgotten here. You are in our thoughts and prayers almost daily.
We pray that God will continue to give you strength, encouragement and wisdom as you contine to faithfully serve Him.
Love in Christ,
Grace
Hi Andrew and Geta,
I just printed out your most recent picture to share with our kids at Good News Club in Falls City. Instead of focusing on the missionary that CEF chooses, we have focused on your family this year. The children have learned your names, plus some little things about Romania. When they come to club three weeks in a row they get a Romanian coin. They love it! It's fun for us to share about you with them. They are such sweet children (most of the time).
We love you guys! Keep on being faithful in your ministry for the Lord!! May He bless you abundantly as you labor for Him.
Much love, the Dixon family
Hmmm...I guess I still need to learn about this stuff. I didn't have a blog account, so I had to click anonymous to get my note to print. But now it shows that "anonymous said"... Oh well, you'll figure out it's from us when you get to the end. Now I've entered our name so we'll see if it shows it's from us for future notes. :)Kay
