Alex Bala shepherded us closely throughout our stay. The focus and aim of the mission were anchored in a Revival Night, serving as the church’s first gathering. This was my very first experience of mission work, and it was challenging to arrive in a place where nothing had yet been established. Yet it is an honor to take part in planting a seed that, through consistency and time, will grow big and strong.

Like the first believers in the book of Acts (Acts 2:42–46), Alex’s small home became a daily sanctuary: a place of prayer and worship, devotion, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and Spirit-filled conversations. This showed me that mission is not only about serving, but also about being present together in God’s presence through prayer and thanksgiving, welcoming and proclaiming the Holy Spirit over the city.

As farmers in God’s field, we can testify to a warm reception of the gospel of peace on the streets of Brașov. In a land where Orthodox religion runs deep, conversations about Jesus came naturally. Many expressed frustration with institutional religion and were struck by the good news of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (Acts 2:37). We had the privilege of praying for people, preaching the gospel, and inviting residents of Brașov to the Revival Night, which became a powerful gathering where the Holy Spirit filled the space among us.

As on the streets of Sweden, there is a noticeable openness and hunger in the eyes of Generation Z (Luke 10:2). As disciples of Jesus, the Lord of light, we must do as he has called us: to fish people out of darkness.
