The Baptism of a born again Orthodox Christian

Sunday, the 10th of January 2010, I had the privilege to baptize a born again Orthodox Christian. Rareș Rus, is a 26 year old young man that has been seeking The Lord having a relationship with Him ever since he was a child, his father being a deacon in an Orthodox Church in a quarter of Cluj. This inclination towards the spiritual things made it so that Satan stepped into his life fully aware that God has a plan with this man. Evil spirits began to manifest in his life through nightmares during the night, suicidal thoughts, sleepless nights, many days of torment and depression. All that didn’t happen by itself, but it was brought about by people that spoke many curses over his life, and Satan, having found an open door, went in and tried to destroy him, as he did with most of us before we chose to follow Christ. But when God has a plan with someone nothing and nobody can stand against it.

Three months ago, we organized in our Church a concert together with a Christian Band called Acces. Corneliu, a member of our Church and a friend since childhood with Rares, invited him, and starting with that point began a time of restoration for Rares. Every Sunday morning Rares was attending the services with a strong desire to be helped to fight against the spirits that were trying to control him. After many prayers and fasting, Rares has been set free. He accepted Christ’s dominion over his life and decided to fulfill everything that is written by accepting the New Testament baptism as well. As you probably know, our Church’s vision is to see born again Orthodox believers that come to know all the truth and are in need of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, being baptized and equipped so that in time they can witness to their family, friends and people around them.

In Romania there are millions of Orthodox believers that need to be born again and our desire is to get to their hearts by creating a bridge between us and them. We believe that love can break doctrines, religiosity and pride on both sides. We all have sinned and fall short of His glory in the eyes of God, but Christ has paid the price for that. We all need His grace and a fresh revelation of what He represents for our lives.

If you are an orthodox believer and you are looking for a place where to worship together with other Christians, a place where you wouldn’t feel judged because your way of worshiping is different, or that your payers are not spiritual enough, or that you still struggle with sin in your life, then please join us Sunday mornings starting with 10:00, to experience God’s acceptance through Jesus Christ and acceptance from the people that you’ll find here. Don’t be embarrassed if you feel in your heart that you are not convinced whether to believe in God or not, if you are still searching, just know that we are here to help you. We are not here to change you so that you become like us, but we want to help you to become like Christ.

Acces - Romanian Christian Band needs help to record their first album

Hello dear friends,

We are posting this entry as a support for a Romanian Christian Band that needs all the help it can get to record their first album. The reason we are behind this project 100% is because we saw God changing people through their music in our Church.
Last year we organized a concert together and as a result God changed a young man's life. His name is Rares Rus, and we baptized him last Sunday. We really believe that he is a result of this band's effort to touch people's lives through music, and they are an amazing blessing to us. That is why we encourage you to bless them and help them record this album. You will be rewarded in heaven for every teenager that will be off the streets because of this band that uses music as an evangelistic tool, a tool that we've seen working.
Thank you!

2009-2010

We are truly happy to say that God was so good to the believers of ”Way of Faith” Church, in 2009. We saw many analysis about this past year, but all we can say is that God did amazing things in us and through us in 2009. We have been rebuked, we have been encouraged, we have been dazzled and blessed by God through His Word, through prayers, through, unity, through music, through each brother and sister in our Church.
We really don't want to overspiritualise when we say all these things,, all we want is that the people who are interested in this blog and in what God is doing in our Church, should know that He started a work in us and He is the One that will finish it. We just can't wait to see what God will do in 2010 in our midst.

Before the end of 2009 we had a french brother that had a really good message that blessed us a lot and we want to share that with you. Be blessed!
