The E2E Program was developed out of the need to train missionaries for the urgent “now” need to evangelize unreached areas where there are no evangelical churches. “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Matthew 9: 37a-38
The Seminary in Bucharest is a four year academic intensive theological program that trains students to become pastors. The Olt and Dolj areas alone need dozens of missionaries and workers for the massive spiritual need of this part of Romania.
E2E is designed to train and prepare students to become missionaries in a six month time period. It is a daring program that we earnestly bathe in prayer so that it would produce laborers into His plentiful harvest.
This year is the third generation of E2E students. These 7 students are working hard to delve into the Word of God and learn about ministry. Most of them have shown a desire to do ministry full-time, but will need supporters to partner with them financially and in prayer. If you feel a calling to mentor, pray for, or support any of them, you can learn more by clicking on their names or learn how to contact them directly here.
Meet the E2E Students…
These two sessions I have dug into the Word of God, I have laid the foundation of a proper understanding of what it means to be a missionary and what involves this kind of ministry. I understood that you cannot do mission by yourself and besides God you still need people and some financial/material support. I believe these sessions helped me to grow, spiritually speaking, to understand better my position in the ministry/ church and to sketch as accurately as possible the portrait of a servant leader.
Also, I had the joy to plant the seed of Truth and to be part of its sprouting. I thank the Lord and give Him praises for listening my prayers and I am hoping that this seed will grow and bring forth good fruit.
The deeper I go, the more I realize how little I know and how superficial I am in many situations when it comes to deepen the Word. I realize that when I gave up to go to Poland through Erasmus Mobility program in exchange for the E2E program, I made the best decision.
The time spent during the E2E courses helped me a lot, besides the care of the teachers I also received good, useful and healthy teachings. I’ve leaned that I don’t have to judge the heart’s motivation. Also, another thing that I’ve learned was that Jesus was a servant leader even when the disciples where thinking only of them, and this fact really improved the way of seeing things, how to work more spiritually and professionally. I would have more to tell about what i did not mention and how the truths heard helped me enormously, but I prefer to remain laconic.
I think I’ve learned and I hope to practice more this unity in diversity. Nothing is desirable, each one is unique and valuable. I liked every situation I got into, because you can learn from anything and you can add to your knowledge. E2E represents my brothers’ ministry: they have the vision and I am very surprised to see that the things that happen are going in a good direction.
Attending these courses seemed useful to me, it helped me enrich my knowledge bank, it built me up seeing that are still people who want to do something for God. It is an encouragement to me. I really appreciate the people that I met, the way of living their life, the fact that they are sincere, real and they recognize their mistakes. Specifically, the Partnership course surprised me and the Expository Preaching helped me to understand how a message can be better and more concise.
These two session I attended some edifying courses – the most interesting being the Expository Preaching course – which helped me in reorganizing the study of Scripture; I was amazed that when you want to get a message out of a text you can do it even if at first you think it would be impossible.
Taking these courses, some aspects related to the missionary life were brought to my attention and it helped me understand the importance of a systematic Bible study.
