Last year, seven Langham Preaching Clubs for 15- to 25-year-olds began in Romania, and recently they met in Oradea for training.
These young adults each deliver talks once a month at youth meetings, prayer meetings and other local village ministries.
They met for three days. Langham Preaching’s coordinator in Romania, Daniel Oprean, led the training. Mr Oprean is a graduated Langham Scholar, who studied for his PhD at the University of Wales through International Baptist Theological Seminary, Amsterdam.
Hunger for knowing God
He said: ‘It was one of the greatest experiences that I ever had, to spend three days with them in the Word and to see their thirst and hunger for knowing God.’
Langham Preaching ‘contributes to the very necessary ministry of equipping ministers for effective biblical preaching’.
Oprean said that he became familiar with John Stott in 1990, and was very happy to become part of a movement that facilitates the growth in maturity of the Romanian Evangelical churches.
