SUCCESSFUL BIBLE TRAINING SCHOOL IN PITESTI! OCTOBER 8, 2012
There were 43 students in the 12th annual Bible school in Pitesti, Romania.
The schoolwas conducted August 26-September 9. Marc Curfman and Joel Inman
were the instructors for the six hours each day during the two weeks. The
studies this year were Isaiah, I John, Revelation and Introduction to the
Minor Prophets.
The students came from the seven churches in Arges, Dolj and Valcea
Districts and the average age of those attending was 35. There were 17 older
teens and two brothers in the school were 70 and 80 years of age. A number
of the older teens and ladies in the school are the regular teachers for the
children Bible classes in the seven churches. Nine of the men present are
preachers in the three districts.
According to Ion Fratostiteanu, the Director of the school, “There is no
activity in the church in the three districts which is more fruitful and
more helpful in building the local congregations.” A retired school teacher
who became a Christian 10 years ago was a student in the school for the
first time. She excitedly said, “These Bible classes are wonderful and gave
me an insight to the word which I have never gotten before. I am thankful
for the school.”
Two U.S. churches, Glendale in Murray, KY and Wetumpka, AL provide the funds
for the school. The students receive no funds for attending the school but
lodging, transportation, food and study materials are provided.Many of the
students take their vacation in order to attend the school while several are
retired and others simply take off work to be present.

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM HMS
This month marks the 21st year
of my preaching the Work in Romania. The first five were as requested by
U.S. brethren already working there. The last 16 began in Pitesti and have
progressed now to the seven congregations in Dolj, Arges and Valcea
Districts.
God’s grace and your love and sacrifice have made this possible. The 21st
All Romania Workshop is being conducted in Pitesti, the first time it has
been at any place other than at Bucharest. This event is a challenge to us
in everyway! Every church in Romania is participating. Already we have
received enrollments from over 300 in the 20 churches. We must make every
effort to build faith in God through the simple Gospel. We must work to
promote zeal, vision, planning and unity. The task is not easy but we must
keep on regardless of the price.
Much love,
HMS
