The fourth in a series of in-depth teachings on the gospel of Jesus Christ that I did at our church, Calvary Chapel Bucuresti, on January 25, 2009. To answer the question of what the gospel message is we looked at why we need Jesus, what Jesus did for us and how we can receive what Jesus did for ourselves.Below are the notes of the teaching and a handout with examples of the basic definition of the gospel.

Second Chance - Testimony of Jean Iancu

A două şansa - Mărturia lui Jean Iancu from William Anderson on Vimeo.

Here is the first in a series of testimonies I want to do to put on the despreisus.ro website. I enjoy doing this and learning as I go. I pray the Lord will use them to touch people's lives here in Romania. Florin was talking to the guy we hired to video our concert in October and he said he would like to get involved. That would be great as he has very nice cameras and lights. I have been praying for lights so maybe this is God's answer to my prayer. Please keep these testimonies and the website in prayer. That they would be instruments God would use for His glory and to be a source of blessing to many here in Romania.

Here is a bit of the worship from our first ever home fellowship yesterday evening at my apartment. I really enjoyed it a lot!

Yeshua the Messiah

Below is part of a blog post by Derek Leman of Messianic Jewish Musings. I enjoy reading his blog and find his perspective as a Messianic Jew thought provoking.

The prophets spoke of such a coming king who would bring justice and peace to Israel and even to the ends of the earth:

Hosea 3:5 (David, their King).
Micah 5:1-4 (A Ruler from of Old).
Isaiah 9:1-7 (Light of Galilee, Prince of Peace).
Isaiah 11:1-16 (Root of Jesse, Righteous Judge).
Isaiah 61:1-3 (Healer of the Broken-Hearted).
Jeremiah 23:5-6 (Branch of David).
Jeremiah 30:21 (The Leader in the Last Days).
Jeremiah 33:14-26 (Branch of David).
Ezekiel 21:25-27 (The One to whom it Belongs).
Ezekiel 34:23-21 (The One Shepherd).
Ezekiel 37:24-28 (David, my Servant).
Daniel 7:13-14 (Son of Man).
Zechariah 9:9-10 (The King on a Donkey).

Revelion 2009 - Bringing in the New Year

Revelion 2009 from William Anderson on Vimeo.

Here's video of some of the things we did to bring in the new year here in Bucuresti, Romania. I really enjoyed our time together, I think there were about 14 people. We had food, played some intense Uno, just hung out, worshiped, prayed, shared with each other about the past year and what we were looking forward to in the coming year and we went out and watched some fireworks in the neighborhood. I got home a six in the morning so I need to spend some time getting caught up on my beauty sleep:)

During our sharing time I was really blessed when Ioana, one of the older ladies in our church, said she had been praying for five years for a church and finally found it in our's. May God bring more like her in this new year.
