UPDATE: As of Feb. 6, our goal of $500 has been reached.
Thanks to all who are joining us in this mission!
Picture this:
You are in the formerly-Communist country of Romania, in what was once an underground Bible college.
You have been invited to teach bright, young theology students preparing for pastoral ministry.
You have one week of intensive courses, in which you can open up the Scriptures and share what God has laid upon your heart.
Lord willing, I will have this opportunity in April of this year. I have been invited to teach at Emanuel University, my alma mater, and to preach in the Romanian churches I ministered in during my five-year stay in Romania.
While in Romania, I hope to present the contents of my forthcoming book, Holy Subversion: Allegiance to Christ in an Age of Rivals. In order to present this material effectively (and to be able to teach fluently in Romanian), I will need to rely on a professional Christian translator who can translate the book for me before I get there. The cost of translation is $500.
I have never used this blog to ask for any sort of financial assistance before, but I believe the Lord is leading me to give my readers an opportunity to take part in this mission. If only 50 of my readers give $10 each, the cost would be covered.
If you would like to give to this project and help cover the cost of translating this book, you can give with PayPal (Click here). Or if you would like to send a check, please send me an email so I can email you my home address. Any additional funds raised will go to cover my travel expenses and airplane ticket.
It will be a blessing to return to Romania this Spring and know that many of the readers of this blog are taking part in the mission.

Sure, I will send you $10.00 to help with your trip. I just withdrew my balance last night though, and it will be later today or tonight before I get another payment in. I will need your paypal e-mail to send it to you. If your Christian readers do not step up, let me know and I will try to help you however I can.

Hi Biff.
The paypal address is linked to in the post above.
So far, several readers have contributed… and we are up to around $165.
Thanks for reading… and for supporting.

I am glad to hear that. After reading your blog about Christian tipping, I had some doubts. Maybe that is just an unfair stereotype?

Count me in for $10. I’ll send a check.

I greet you reverend in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.By the grace of God I discovered your activities and mission online, very powerful. Am a brother in the Christ a Ghanain by evangelizing the gospel from community to villages through this, many have been repented to follow Jesus Christ.We frequently assembly them for worship by the grace we are multiplying for His name sake.God is doing so mighty works among us that, people are receiving healing in their souls, unbelievers deserting their evil acts following Lord Jesus Christ to become the community of Christ and the children who lack of their parents or who their parents are not wealthy to care for them God has called me for that and by the grace of God is improving beat by beat and many giving testimony about what the Lord has been doing in their life through my outreach evangelism, becouse Benin republic is centered by evil spirits they worship vedoo ODA this the name of the spirit, but glory be to God that they are receiving the light, due to this the members seeking for BIBLE in french and English this shows their determination to serve God. Furthermore, the church we have now passing through plight by moving from place to place, under trees, at times in the uncompleted building when it rains, we found it difficult to conduct the service when worshipping.We are awfully suffering for venue to host the souls and we are praying seriousely for that.We want that your group should visit us in africa, in republic of Benin to be part of your mission for extension of the gospel. We shall be excited when we shall be part of your mission.
