Today was our first Sunday in our new location as a church at a movie theatre up the street from where we have held church services for 10 years. Our church, Bunavestire (The Good News) has decided that it's time to move to a bigger space since we have seen our church grow a lot over the year. The new theatre (Scala) is much bigger than our old location and already we filled up the main level (500 seats) and started to use the over-flow space in the balcony (another 300 seats). Praise the Lord! Our pastor has challenged us to go out from our comfort zones to be a prescence in society, our city, and spheres of influence. We are a church that wants to be an authentic, Christ-centered community. We have time for socializing built into the service and each Sunday night we meet in over 25 small groups throughout the city for Bible Study, prayer, and fellowship. We inaugurated our new space together with Adi Gliga, a prominent Romanian praise and worship singer. We pray and hope that soon we will be forced to find an even bigger location! Thanks for your prayers and support.

Great to hear the news of your church's growth. Sounds like you have found a great church home there. It certainly is not always easy to build true, authentic Christian community. Our prayers are with you.

Glad to see that you found such a great community of believers that encourage and strengthen you in the Spirit. Many blessings to you Mihai. Your heart for Romania and its people is SOOOOO evident. You truly are where God wants you to be, you little 'Romaniac' you:)
