Welcoming a New Harvest: Metanoia Brasov
Surrounded by the Transylvania Alps in central Romania, Brasov (a city of over 290,000) is now home to the fourth Metanoia Harvest church!
The Lord brought this church to be by first connecting Adi
Stanciu and his wife, Floare
with pastors that had encountered difficult circumstances at Grace Baptist Church of Brasov. Established in September 2008, the church met in a hotel conference room, and its pastor was traveling 90 miles multiple times a week to care for this worshiping body.
Then Adi began to faithfully provide pulpit supply.
For years, Adi had known Cristian Barbosu of Metanoia Arad. He was further influenced by a visit from Harvest Bible Chapel's James MacDonald in 2007, during a teaching visit in Romania.
As Adi was led by the Lord to advance the gospel through this group of believers in Brasov, their leadership confirmed that a partnership with Metanoia and Harvest Bible Fellowship could yield an even greater harvest of souls.
On November 8, 2009, Grace Baptist Church decided to partner with Metanoia Arad in embracing Harvest Bible Fellowship's core values and distinctives...all of which dovetailed into a decision on February 7, 2010 to fully adopt the approach and the name of Metanoia-Harvest Bible Chapel.
Join us in welcoming Adi Stanciu, Senior Pastor of Metanoia Brasov, his family (wife, Floare; daughter, Dora; son-in-law Vlad; grandson, Thomas) and the church in Brasov to the Harvest Bible Fellowship family!
