Romanian Church Planting

Raul has established a church in the central city of Draganest.  The Draganest Church appears to be a normal start-up church that could be found anywhere in Eastern Europe.  It is not a "super church" - but it provides a simple model that is easily duplicated.  Raul has capitalized on that fact.  If there is at least one thing that sets the Draganest Church apart - it is that it was "born pregnant."  Meaning, this young church has already given birth to daughter churches in three nearby towns and villages!  These are granddaughter churches- third generation from the Alba Church.

Raul and his team are not the only examples of Alba attempting to fulfill the Great Commission.  They have sent church planting teams to other poorly reached areas of Romania nd to Turkey and China.  Marius, a young Romanian in Olt County, has a burden to move to Baikal region of Siberia, Russia.  This shows that the church in Alba does not just delegate the church planting task - they empower those whom they send to be senders themselves.  They spread the gospel and the vision to spread the gospel!  This is the stuff that movements are made off!!
