Sometimes Christians have to make hard decisions about working together. Sometimes the best decision is to work separately yet still in the same Kingdom and for the same King. Over the last few weeks prior to leaving Romania for this year in the USA, we and the leaders of the Emmanuel Christian Centre (the primary church we’ve been working with these last four + years) went through a process and made such a decision. Here’s the official announcement that will be published this week:
On June 2, 2010 Nelu Andres, pastor of the Emmanuel Christian Centre in Arad, Romania, resigned his position as a pastor in the Free Methodist Church. Following his decision, on June 13, the members of the Emmanuel Christian Centre met and voted to follow Pastor Nelu and withdraw their congregation from the Free Methodist Church. The church will work independently from this point forward. The Free Methodist Mission in Romania will continue to support the Oaza Ministries and its director, Laura Andres. In addition, Scott and Paula Dunn, currently in the USA for Partnership Building, will continue to serve in Romania via church planting and other Kingdom-extending ministries.Do pray for the remaining members and leaders of the Emmanuel church. We love them dearly and pray God’s fruitful best for them.
