THANK YOU!
Read MoreGreat event in Suceava
We just came home from our evangelistic event that we organized in the city where we live – Suceava. The hall was over capacity, 900 students stayed on the stairs and filled every empty space in the venue. It was a great event that God coordinated in small details. We have hundreds of contact cards to follow up this year. The Gospel was very clear presented and our Father was glorified.
Thank you for your prayers, we saw God’s hand working in front of us!
Read MoreOctober news
We are happy to let you know about some of the things that we are passionate about in the ministry God has called us to, that is to take the Gospel to those who do not know our Lord.
It is 2011, ten years after the release of the first issue of the Fitzuica magazine, the tool that helped us reach 1,000,000 students with the Gospel all these years. It’s such a blessing to have seen God’s hand at work during these ten years. He provided for the magazine to be published and distributed in time in almost all universities in our country. Fitzuica has energized our campus ministry, offering us thousands of contacts whom we pay visits to afterwards, for one-on-one talks leading to the sharing of the Gospel.
These days, we and the team of volunteers in Suceava will distribute the latest issue of the magazine to the students in Suceava. Together with the magazine, we will also give invitations to two events unfolding over the coming weeks: an evangelistic event at the Culture House in Suceava, on the 12th of October, and a joint event with Luis Palau Association and ten churches in Suceava.
We will have some busy weeks, so that’s why we ask you to join us and pray for the 700 seats of the venue to be filled by young people who can hear the Good News.
Treasures in the garbage bins
I have recently heard the story of a 60-ish homeless man from Bucharest, Romania. Ion Barladeanu used to live in the garbage room of a block of flats in Bucharest and eat out of garbage bins. Disappointed in his father, a Communist, he left home at 18 and tried to make a living as a grave digger, a dock worker, a writer on crosses, and held many other odd jobs. In his spare time, he would take scraps of discarded newspapers and magazines, cut them out and create collages. Over time, he created more than 900 collages, which he stored in a suitcase and carried them along wherever he went. One day, a heaven-sent artist ran into old homeless Ion Barladeanu. He was stunned on seeing his collages. In a short time, he organised an exhibition, and arranged for him to show his works in London and Paris.
Now, Ion Barladeanu is regarded as one of the greatest Pop Art artists. A collage of his sells for over 3,000 USD a piece. Adding two and two together, we can see that the old man was carrying along a treasure of nearly 3,000,000 USD. Nevertheless, he would eat leftovers out of the trash and live in a mess beyond description, unaware of the incredible resources nearby.
As I thought about me and all of us, as a matter of fact, I realized that so often we behave like old Barladeanu. God presented us with so many opportunities, gave his only- begotten Son to die for us, offered his salvation, and still so many times I would rather watch the mess around us and complain about it, while keeping my eyes shut and not seeing the treasure that I can have for free. So often I look at the world, but not beyond it. Back to the story, the artist who discovered Ion got him a place of his own after a while. But after spending several days in this new and clean place, Ion went back to his nostalgic garbage.
Read MoreOliver’s story
Over 1000 visitors acces everystudent.ro on a regular day. Some of them pray to receive Jesus and they let us know about it. Oliver Supp, a student leaders from Cluj is one of them.
Oliver grew up in a Catholic church. As he went to the university, the questions in his life became more profound. He felt he needed something deeper in his relationship with God, something more personal. He didn’t know where to start his search but he took the Bible and read it thinking that there might be some of the answers he was looking for. Nobody really knew about that as he was afraid he will be labeled as a freak. On the 20-th of January he was in his room, just surfing the net on a website he doesn’t really remember. Suddenly he noticed this link to everystudent.ro and he clicked. It was a Wednesday and as Oliver says, almost every Wednesday something unexpected appears in his agenda. This unexpected event, was about to change his life for ever. After that click he couldn’t stop reading for a few hours, as he wrote in en email to Mihai that night.
