A great visit




Left: We recently had a wonderful visit from my parents and brother from Clovis, CA. They stayed with Emma and I for 6 days and celebrated their 30th wedding aniversary here with us. We through them a surprise party with all of our friends and family here. We truly had a great time as we were able to spend time with both mine and Emma’s families, as well as allow my family to see what Emma and I do here. They were very encouraged to see what God is doing in Targoviste with a group of on fire young people.

We are about to enter year #4 of our Internship Training Program “Project Mobilization”, and we have 4 students in mind for this year. We are very enthusiastic about investing in these young people and taking them through an intense “boot camp” for God’s Kingdom. We are aiming this year to emphasize discipline more and more in our lives: spirituall, physically and mentally.

Summer Intern Program


This year, for the first time, we have tried something new in our annual Internship Program “Project Mobilization”.

We decided to run a summer program that would be opened up to all of our young people, not just high school graduates.

The response we got far exceeded what we expected, as 35 of our up-and-coming servant leaders have signed up to be trained in the areas of: Guitar, bass guitar, drums, keyboard, voice lessons, video editing, photoshop and drama/skits.

We are very pleased with how things are going and hope to continue this each summer as well as begin next year again with the full blown 5 month program.

Thank you Sandals Church College Group!!!



Thanks to the young people of Sandals Church in Riverside CA, over 50 young people in our church have new clothes for the summer.

We were given an opportunity to ship over these hundreds and hundreds of items of clothing, and before we knew it, the clothes just started coming in. The generosity of this college groups will not be forgotten.

In Romania, just like anywhere else, young people love to wear nice clothes; however, in Romania, nice clothes tend to cost more than they do in the US while the salaries are 5 times less.

Thus, many young people will save up their money for months just to purchase 1 t-shirt. This is no exaggeration. So we thank you all for giving from what you have to bless others.

Our church thanks you and prays God's blessing in your lives 100 fold.
