The SDARM conference and campmeeting center in Porumbaco, Romania is often the site of special meetings for our church. Earlier this year, the brethren in Europe, under the leadership of the GC European Regional secretary, Brother Ferenc Matyas, collaborated to put together a seminar at the center. The seminar was for all of the pastors and Bible workers working in the European fields and unions. There, various topics were presented and discussed concerning the progress of the Lord's work in the region.
The overall theme of the event was to unite our brethren in the common goal of doing their part to spread the gospel throughout all of Europe. The presentations held during the event emphasized the importance of medical missionary work as an evangelistic tool to reach the souls that are perishing in ignorance. The GC Health Department Director, Brother Dragan Ivanov, as well as Brother Emil Barbu and Brother Abel Morales were present to lecture on the topic of the health message and the gospel work.
By the end of the event, the brethren had come up with the following plans for the work in the region:
- Organize humanitarian campaigns to evangelize the nations of Europe that have not yet heard of the third angel's message, and also to offer the Good News to the refugees that are arriving from countries in conflict.
- Prepare our Eden Health Clinic in Breaza, Romania to become a medical missionary center capable of catering to all of Europe.
- To raise the funds necessary to purchase a mobile hospital unit that can aid in supplying medical visits, tests, diagnosis, first aid care, and also to carry out humanitarian campaigns where we can present Christ through the gospel of health in countries not yet reached by the Gospel message.
- To involve various brethren and young people who currently work in medicine, as well as students of different professions in order to create an European network of Christian evangelism.
- Organize seminars for wives of pastors and Bible workers with the aim of preparing them to accompany the missionary work in the churches in their respective regions.
We invite you to pray with us for these plans and for the workers that will be doing their best to carry out these plans for the honor and glory of God.
