Făclia Publishing House publishing good Christian books in Oradea, Romania

Let me tell you my story: I was born into a loving evangelical Christian family in a harshly communist country that suffered for so long under the cruel dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu. But, in our town of Oradea in Romania, we had the privilege of attending a fine gospel preaching church, Emanuel Baptist Church, and I came to know Christ as my personal Saviour when I was 15 years old. After school, I was employed as a technician in a tool factory in Oradea. Our church ran a theological course to train a new generation of preachers. It was called ‘The school of the prophets’...

Emanuel Hospice, Romania

Cancer — the dreaded c-word — is dreadfully common. In 2014 there were 356,860 new cases of cancer diagnosed in the UK, the equivalent of a new diagnosis every two minutes. Experts state that 50 per cent of people in the UK born after 1960 will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. In 2014, there were 163,444 cancer-related deaths, the equivalent of 450 every day. Ministry Now let’s imagine an award-winning team of health care professionals. This team is specifically committed to final-days palliative care. Let’s say that all staff are evangelical, Bible-believing Christians. And they visit not only to bring...

Emanuel University, Romania

2016 marks the 25th anniversary of Emanuel University in Oradea, Romania. Slavic Gospel Association (SGA) has had a long history with Emanuel, which today includes funding scholarships that allow students to attend the university. SGA asked Dr Paul Negrut to reflect on the past 25 years and look forward to what they wish to achieve, with the help of God, in the future. He writes: As we celebrate 25 years since Emanuel University opened its doors, it is obvious that this school is one of the greatest miracles of God for our time. Four hundred years after the Protestant Reformation followed by great revivals, Europe...

Creation ministry in Romania

In December 2014 I was in Cluj in Transylvania with Traian Todut and Pal Borzasi. I spoke in Manastur Baptist Church to the youth and also at a number of Hungarian Baptist churches. Young people from both communities were keen for the creation literature I brought out and stayed asking questions for a long time after the meetings. And it wasn’t just the young people! On one occasion in Crasna, a kind farmer who was due to milk his cow (to give some milk to Pastor Pal to take back with him), asked many questions, so much so, that it wasn’t until about 11.00pm he...

Romania – an unfinished mission

Romania? In Eastern Europe somewhere: Ceausescu and Communism; Securitate and informers; poverty, notably orphanages with tormented, sometimes deranged, children that the Romanian state wished to hide; and lorry-loads of aid, old clothes and used equipment, from good Christian people. These rather disparate fragments, I admit with shame, were once all I knew about Romania. They were gleanings from the media blitz of the early 1990s when Romania held the attention of the world, and from missionary meetings I attended. A change was on the horizon, however, in January 2007, when a square-jawed and even squarer-shouldered Romanian by the name of Cornel Pelea joined the church...

Tent-missioning in south Romania

It is a great joy and privilege to present to you our very important work among local churches in the south of Romania, in the counties of Giurgiu and Teleorman. These counties are about 80 kms south of the capital, Bucharest.      We are a relatively young team of believers who are involved in evangelistic work among children during the summer school holidays. We also work among unsaved adults. In southern Romania there are literally hundreds of villages and larger communities where there is no evangelical church or testimony.      This coming summer will be the third summer that we do gospel outreach work using...

The Barnabas Company

The Barnabas Company The Barnabas Company (not to be confused with the Barnabas Fund) is to finish its support for Hungarian Christians in Romania.     This ministry was founded by Stephen and Joan Clifford of Belper, in Derbyshire. Its purpose was to encourage believers who were poverty-stricken but rich in faith, and help them both practically and spiritually.     The work was small but had very large effects. The vision for this ministry came to the Cliffords when they were teaching English in Hungary. At that time, both Hungary and Romania were in the grip of Communism. Stephen and Joan saw a deep need to...
