\"\"\u00a0“Maria was a former student from Gura Riului, gifted, perseverant and hard-working. Born in a humble family, <\/em>she strived to do her schoolwork fast, so she could help her parents with the farm animals and in the fields. She excelled in school and graduated from Sibiu University (IT Engineering) with honors. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Along with her best friend\u00a0Mioara, Maria was tutored in English during high school.\u00a0 There they had the opportunity to hear a testimony and their tutor pointed\u00a0them to the love and calling of Jesus. They always listened intently, and whenever time permitted, they wanted to watch \u201ca special movie.\u201d (Ex: Fireproof, Courageous, War Room, etc.)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It was\u00a0presumed Maria and\u00a0Mioara\u2019s\u00a0parents never allowed them to attend camps or youth meetings, but they continued to keep in touch\u00a0with their tutors,\u00a0even after graduation. Before getting married last year, Maria\u00a0visited them with\u00a0her future husband.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Recently, Maria came to a bible study.\u00a0 Since most of the other participants are current or former students, it is the hope that Maria will soon participate regularly. Please continue to pray that\u00a0seed of righteousness sown in the hearts of students bears fruit. “<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
