God-centered resources from the ministry of John Piper

I first traveled to Romania as a short-term missionary in 1987. The cruel Communist dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu was still exerting control over the public and private lives of the Romanian citizens. Christians who refused to deny their love for Christ, “choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God,” suffered much. In those days, communication between Romanian believers and western missionaries was greatly hampered by the secret police.

However, on Christmas Day, 1989, all that changed when the regime was overthrown.

Before that, it might have taken months for me to successfully pass on information to a pastor. Now, with a simple click of a computer key, it is accomplished in seconds. The internet is one of the most powerful ways we are able to spread a passion for God’s supremacy in all things for the joy of all peoples (in this case, Romanian people) through Jesus Christ.

Nearly two years have passed since the last time we posted a Romanian translation of a Piper sermon. We are pleased to announce that we just received two new Romanian sermon translations, thanks to our translation team in Bucharest.

We give honor, praise and glory to God!
