During the month of September, MLI organized its fall Church Based Leadership Development training for men. Between September 25-28, 2017, approximately 32 men from nine different areas of Romania: Sibiu, Timișoara, Cărpiniș, Campeni, Abrud, Campina, Fetești, Țandărei and Buzău came to Alpiniș for training. The chosen theme was: “A study in the Book of Hebrews”, the topics addressed were: the superiority of our Lord, the danger of immaturity, the warnings that this book evokes and the beauty of our Lord. The speaker, this fall, was a dear friend of MLI, Dr. Ed Scearce, Senior Pastor at Grace Church, Normal, IL. Pastor Ed is one of the few pastors from the west who visited Romania during the years of Communism and served the Lord here during that time. We are very grateful for the time spent together at Alpiniș, it was a time of sweet fellowship, relationship-building, growth in the knowledge of our Lord. We keep you all in our prayers!
