Harvest Barrie is excited to partner with Harvest Bible Fellowship in giving toward the Romania church plant project. Our elders would like to invite you to participate in our Christmas offering for Romania. Below is an excerpt from a letter from HBF concerning the work in Romania and below that is a video outlining what God has already accomplished through the Metanoia church.
As you are aware, the Lord is
bringing fruitfulness to our churches in various ways
and one of the "Only God " growth areas is in Eastern Europe under
the dynamic leadership
of Cristian Barbosu and his Elders.
At
HBF, we have partnered with these brothers in birthing six Harvest Metanoia
churches and two village churches in five years and there is much more, we believe,
that God wants to do in this challenging part of the world.
We are sending you
some information produced here in the states with the support
of HBF which outlines the fruitfulness to date and the faith filled vision
which God has given
to this local church. The Metanoia Fellowship is effectively and
operationally our Eastern
Europe mission vehicle. We have established an agreement for supporting
and encouraging
these autonomous local churches which recognizes them all as sister churches of
all HBF
church plants; they are Harvest Bible Chapels! Harvest Bible Fellowship
is working with these leaders
to equip them and give us all a good and godly sense of ownership of this
ministry expansion. We are praying by faith for another seven fold growth in the
next five years and want to equip and accommodate this growth by helping with the
funding to build the Eastern European hub of HBF at Cristian's church
in Arad Romania.
The
local church is committed to a substantial portion of the cost of each phase
being raised
in Romania. Yet without foreign investment,
there are no
banks or even wealthy Romanian Christians who love the Lord and his work.
But praise God, we
in North America can partner with our brothers. Recently a
Christian in Texas agreed to match
the first $500,000 given by December 31 - a generous gift which if fully
subscribed, with the funds
already raised by the Romanian Church, would see Phase I built and fully paid
for by this time next year.
