Bob and Jim led a team from Wheaton , IL Evangelical Free Church in both Bucharest and Sibiu, Romania. WEFC is the home church of Doug who works with GEM's eDot ministry. The first week in Bucharest we worked with Pastor Daniel and Golgotha Church holding our computer classes in the church's choir practice room. We also worked with Ben-Oni, a Romanian pastor who coordinated the whole project.

In Bucharest we were able to learn more about the ministry of Institutul Teologic Baptist Seminary and their computer-based distance learning program. We stayed at the Seminary in their dorm rooms while ministering in Bucharest.

The second week we were in Sibiu working with Bethany Church. Sibiu has a rich history that includes Germanic influences. Some of the students even spoke German!

Catholic Church in the Piata Mare in Sibiu

We were able to visit a Christian Radio Station in Sibiu, visit a Christian music composer (Nicolae Moldoveanu) who had spent time in prison during communist times for writing music about God, and learn more about the ministry of Bethany Church in Sibiu.

When we were in Sibiu we made a Sunday afternoon visit to Gura Riului, a small village and its church. They had our group lead the church service with singing, sharing personal testimonies and sharing from the Bible.

Praise the Lord for 42 students coming through the doors of Bethany Church in Sibiu! Many were un-churched people who have been invited to join the church on Sundays and will be followed up by church members.
