The team is spending four evenings caroling outdoors, at the city hall, at a home for the elderly, and at a local orphanage. Hundreds are having the gospel shared with them along with hearing Christmas music.

Calvary Chapel Cluj, and Biserica Logos (which I pastor) are the two Calvary Chapel fellowships in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. They joined together this year for a communion/worship time on Good Friday and for celebration of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday morning, with one gathering in each location. This video shows brief clips of both gatherings in a montage.

My video below, filmed this week for Dallas Sunday at Five and for American churches supporting our ministry, is a brief Palm Sunday devotional and ministry update on what we’re doing as a church in Cluj this holiday week.
Here is the English-language text of a new gospel tract we’re producing in Romanian for Easter outreaches this year. It is designed to share the gospel with those coming from an eastern-orthodox religious background. Pray for the Lord to use it to open eyes in our outreaches on the streets of Cluj, in orphanages, homeless shelters, and parks, where we go to do music, testimonies, preaching, and distribution of these tracts to hundreds of people in the coming week.

…But why did Jesus die in the first place?
(Inside text with Cross “For you” picture)
Why did Jesus die on the cross?
If we want to go to heaven, the answer to that question is as important as Christ’s resurrection.
In 1 Timothy 2:5-6a the Bible gives us God’s answer: “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all.”
There is only one God. The one God who made us is the one God who will judge us and send us to our eternal home. This one God who will judge us is the One we are offending whenever we sin. And we’ve all sinned against Him. For all our lives, when we were tempted to lie, or steal, or mistreat others, we have done so. We all deserve punishment from God. So we all need some way to make Him happy with us. A way to be forgiven for all the things we’ve done to anger Him. Only then can we hope to escape hell, and make it to heaven.
But how can we get God to forgive us? The verse tells us there is only one way. Christ Jesus is the only mediator available between us and God. Christ is the only one who can bring us to God and set us free from His righteous anger at our sins. So we can’t put our hope in prayers to saints or confessions to priests. God has told us there is only one voice He will listen to, speaking on our behalf. The one mediator between God and men—Christ Jesus.
That brings us to the verse’s good news about why Christ died on the cross. He gave Himself as a ransom for us. When He died, Jesus was paying the price we owe God for our sins against Him, so that we could be set free from that debt. Christ was punished in your place for every sin you’ve committed against God. By dying in your place and absorbing God’s punishment for your sins, He paid the ransom debt for you to escape God’s wrath.
After Christ died, He came back to life, proving that He had paid completely for your sins, and that God had accepted His sacrifice on your behalf, as your mediator to God. Now, you can be saved and granted eternal life, by believing this message and personally trusting Christ for salvation. Speak to Jesus now from the heart, believing He died for you and rose again. Confess your sin to Him. Ask Him for, and receive, the forgiveness He has promised. He will make you a child of God. And at the end of this life when God judges you, He will give you resurrection and heaven, just as Christ was raised from the dead. —- “Experimentându-L pe Dumnezeu” http://harul.freetzi.com/
