An Invitation to Join Me on Mission
UPDATE: As of Feb. 6, our goal of $500 has been reached.
Thanks to all who are joining us in this mission!
Picture this:
You are in the formerly-Communist country of Romania, in what was once an underground Bible college.
You have been invited to teach bright, young theology students preparing for pastoral ministry.
You have one week of intensive courses, in which you can open up the Scriptures and share what God has laid upon your heart.
Lord willing, I will have this opportunity in April of this year. I have been invited to teach at Emanuel University, my alma mater, and to preach in the Romanian churches I ministered in during my five-year stay in Romania.
While in Romania, I hope to present the contents of my forthcoming book, Holy Subversion: Allegiance to Christ in an Age of Rivals. In order to present this material effectively (and to be able to teach fluently in Romanian), I will need to rely on a professional Christian translator who can translate the book for me before I get there. The cost of translation is $500.
I have never used this blog to ask for any sort of financial assistance before, but I believe the Lord is leading me to give my readers an opportunity to take part in this mission. If only 50 of my readers give $10 each, the cost would be covered.
If you would like to give to this project and help cover the cost of translating this book, you can give with PayPal (Click here). Or if you would like to send a check, please send me an email so I can email you my home address. Any additional funds raised will go to cover my travel expenses and airplane ticket.
It will be a blessing to return to Romania this Spring and know that many of the readers of this blog are taking part in the mission.
