January 2021 Update from Brooke Bateman

Dear ABC family,

Happy New Year! Praise God, the number of covid cases are dropping in Romania.
Praise God for health!! My neighbors have had cases of Covid and one had passed away, he was 94 years old. As of now, everyone in the building is healthy. Please pray that I would be a witness to my neighbors and shine the light of Christ, ready to share the hope of Jesus at any time. :) Praise God for the Bible study and fellowship that is continuing with (covid safety). Please pray God continues to use me in the lives of the deaf and hearing. The verse that is on my heart lately is “As Iron sharpens Iron so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17. Please pray for me to have wisdom as I discern His will for me as I transition out of training this February and begin serving in full-time roles. Pray for God to be glorified in all of it and for Him to guide me in the process. I want to be strategic in knowing how/where l can best serve. The needs are so great among the Deaf. Lastly, please pray for me to be faithful in all areas of my life and to continue to learn the languages well! One of my language helpers is having a baby, so I will have to get accustomed to a new language helper this January.
Serving with you,
Brooke
