We needed the principal's approval to distribute our evangelistic magazine in the university. The principal of the public university appreciated our ministry as he was concerned about the moral condition of the students and their disregard for other people. The principal of a private university (George B.) invited us to organize events in their theatre. When we distributed the magazine many students said they wanted to know how to have a personal relationship with God. We had never experienced something like that in Brasov.  This was a great opening for the Gospel. We have a lot of work to do as we have had many students to visit. We need volunteers. God brought Marius on our team. He had helped me with some work at my house last summer. Although I challenged him to join our outreach, he didn't answer me.

In the fall when the school started he told me that he had prayed and God answered him. He came to study in Brasov because of my challenge. He believed that he needed to work for the Lord while he was in college. He submitted to God six months ago.

A lady who works at the students' community center asked us to share about our organization in a special presentation. It was a presentation of all the organizations in the greatest theatre in Brasov. Many officials came to this event. We shared our purpose and how important it was to promote God's principles in a confused society that is full of secularism, relativism and modernism. It was with this same way that we presented ourselves to the students. We are an organization that wants to help them get back to God's principles. Then we explained to them that the Lord Jesus Christ was the only Saviour. We told them that it is not enough to have professional training,  but they also needed godly character. This can be received by faith in Christ alone. God taught us how to approach them. The students' spiritual condition is controlled by demons of pornography, drugs, alcohol, confusion, and relativism. They don't believe in good and bad. They don't believe in God or the Bible. The only important thing to them is to enjoy oneself. We realize that we have to work with them. It is very interesting that we have to explain to them who God is, the Bible, Jesus, and sin as if they are a pagan people who never heard about Christianity.

Alin is a post-graduate and lecturer at the university. I met him at the beginning of the university. He told me that he knew a girl who was a Christian and a volunteer on our team who had  become a missionary. He said that he had attended her wedding. I then asked him about his spiritual life and then shared my personal testimony that he wasn't interested in. He didn't want to talk about Jesus because of the number of people that were there.

While looking for Razvan and Ciprian,  I found Ciprian. At first he rejected me as he said he wasn't interested in religion. I told him that I didn't want to talk about religion, but I wanted to tell him how he could have a personal relationship with God. When he heard that he was ready to listen to me. He told me that he had been a few times to the Jehovah's Witness church and the Adventists. He said that he had been smoking and drinking, but after going to these churches he quit. He said he didn't believe in Jesus. Meanwhile, Razvan walked in. He had shared that he wanted to know how to have a personal relationship with God. By the end of our discussion Ciprian said, "this discussion has helped me to change my opinion of God and Jesus." I gave them both a New Testament and a Christian book.

In room 104 I was looking for Daniel. He had filled out ourc questionaire that he wanted to know how to have a personal relationship with God. Although he was studying orthodox theology, he did not reject me. He told me he had a girlfriend. I asked him whether they had a pure relationship. His answer was, "we have a modern relationship. I know a couple who had been friends for two months and then they married. They couldn't wait anymore. It is impossible". Ionut, my missionary colleague said, "it is possible. I have had a girlfriend for a year and a half and I am going to marry her. We have never had a sexual relationship". Daniel was surprised when I told him, "you study theology and want to be a priest. You will preach against fornication. If you practice this sin how are you going to be able to teach your parishioners to keep themselves pure. I have met a lot of students who were angry at priests because they were not a testimony." I asked him why he was going to church. He said, "I find peace there and one can save his soul." I told him that the Bible taught one was saved by faith alone and not by good deeds. I asked him whether he was reading the Bible and he said he wasn't. His answer did not surprize me because I knew that the Bible wasn't important in the orthodox seminary. Therefore, is it any wonder why some of the students live such lives. In the end of our discussion Daniel and Alin told us, "we like what you said to us." Praise the Lord that they didn't reject us. I encouraged them to read the Bible.

After we had distributed the magazines in the university we gathered the volunteer students and went to distribute the magazines in the dorms. I met some students in Dorm 10 from Nigeria, Spain, Hungary, and Italy. I met Emanuel who graduated in Iasi village who came to Brasov for his master's degree. Because the Orthodox Students Association in Iasi had distributed flyers against us in the dorms, he did not want to answer our poll. Although they wrote that our organization was a sect, Emanuel started to come to our meetings and agreed to talk to me. While I was sharing the Gospel with him, he told me that his father had died. His father, who had been a priest,  died of lung cancer because he smoked too much. Emanuel admitted that he didn't believe in God, but he took a New Testament and another book which taught that Jesus was the Christ.

On Wednesday, October 28, we had an evangelistic event where around 150 students attended. When they heard I was going to preach some of them left the hall, but others stayed and listened to the sermon. I felt the spiritual battle for their souls in my spirit. We invited a band that had received the Silver Deer Award. There was an international music contest in Brasov in September. We invited them because we had heard they were Christians. I was surprised to hear that they didn't have a Christian message in their music. The only Christian song was the one that won them the award. I found out that the song was composed by a Christian girl who had undergone some difficult times. I was expecting them to sing about the change that God performed in their lives. I came to realized that the young people from our churches were very influenced by the worldly world. They need to focus on the Word of God. How many churches focus on teaching the Word to the young people during their youth meetings? What do the young people love the most? The Bible or fun? Spiritual food or fun? I was surprised to see that young people from our churches enjoyed the hard rock music of this band. I notices that there were some Christian young people that didn't like the music. While some of the band members came from Christian families, when they started to sing, I said, "Oh, God. I feel everything is a mess. Please transform this mess into a blessing." God was good and gave me strength to preach to these young rockers that lived in immorality, drugs, and alcohol. The Lord is merciful toward sinners. He gave me strength to love and tell them about His love. I was sad because of those that called themselves Christians but had no testimony. May the Lord help us to be a witness to them.

I continued my ministry in the church where I was involved in the family ministry, youth meetings, preaching the Word and teaching the basic doctrines.
