Last weekend, by God’s grace, after I was invited by Daniel Moisuc, I went for a 2 days trip to Dorohoi, with the youth from the 1st Christian Baptist Church of Iasi. Dorohoi is in Botosani county. I was born and raised in Botosani, so I was closer to home.
We were invited by the some of the students that attend the 1st Christian Baptist Church of Iasi, and that came from Dorohoi. We were around 30 persons and we had a great time. Even if it took us 6 hours to get to Dorohoi and it was tiring, I think that it was worth it.
On Sunday morning we went to the Christian Baptist Church of Dorohoi. We had some songs and Bible verses. In the evening we went to the Christian Baptist Church of Dorohoi, where we also had a program of our own.
Here are the photos I took on this trip. They will talk much better that I would
On 7th of November 2008, OSCER (Christian Evangelical Students Organization from Romania) Iasi held an welcoming event for the freshmen that joined that meetings. OSCER is part of IFES (International Fellowship of Evangelical Students).
While I was in university I was involved in OSCER Iasi. Back then it was called St. Andrew Group.
Here are few photos from this event

Do Not Despair, But Trust Into The Lord Because He Controls The Course Of World Events
Read and hear this with your hart:
21 God controls the course of world events;
He removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the scholars.22 He reveals deep and mysterious things
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he is surrounded by light.Daniel 2:21-22
Did you get it? God is in control. Yes He is. He knows your current situation. He knows what you are struggling with. So WHAT if He knows and in the same time He does not change it. Why God does not change the things so I would feel better, so all those problems and frustration would disappear?
We are assured and know that
[God being a partner in their labor
or/and God works all things with them]
all things work together
and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God
and are called according to [His] design and purpose.Romans 8:28
See… all things work together for good and for those who love God, and God does it so. Also please read the next line. We see it’s a matter of love. So, do you love God? Do you really do? What means to love God?
Jesus answered,
If a person [really] loves Me,
he will keep My word [obey My teaching];
and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him
and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.John 14:23
So now, from the course of world events and the things that happen daily in our life we found out that we have to keep God’s word, to obey Him.
Maybe you will say… I’ve been faithful to God, I obeyed Him, and now look what terrible things are happening to me. Yes that is true. You have a holly life. So God loves you. This means that what is happening now it is for your own good. We don’t see what’s around the corner. We don’t understand God’s mighty plan in all it’s beauty. Maybe you are discouraged and frustrated. Yes, it’s OK in the first time. But now your eyes have the opportunity to be opened and understand that God is in control. This is an eye opener. So what should we do then?
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything,
but in every circumstance and in everything [even when it is hard],
by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving,
continue to make your wants known to God.
Philippians 4:6
What we learn is to bring our worries and thoughts to Jesus. Tell them to Him directly by prayer. Have some time just with Him and tell Him what’s on your mind and what is troubling you. In the same time fight the good fight loving Him. This means to do your best to obey God. And if it happens to fail sometimes, watch this…
Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord,
and not rather that he should turn from his evil way and return [to his God] and live?Ezekiel 18:23
My little children,
I write you these things
so that you may not violate God’s law and sin.
But if anyone should sin,
we have an Advocate (One Who will intercede for us) with the Father
–[it is] Jesus Christ
[the all] righteous [upright, just,
Who conforms to the Father's will in every purpose, thought, and action].1 John 2:1
So do not desperate, trust into the Lord because He controls the course of world events.
The bellow photo was taken in Bulgaria, at a gas station. There was an abandoned house near by. So, while the car was getting refiled I got the chance to capture this.

Here’s a self portrait I did in June, while I was in Macedonia. The photo was taken while I was on a boat on lake Ohrid. That is why the horizon is tilted.

Previously I showed you photos from Bogdan and Catalina’s civil marriage and the church marriage. It was a very busy day because in the same day also Bogdan’s brother, Ben, had his wedding. Besides that, all the events (civil marriage, church wedding and the party) happened in 1 day, in 12 hours. Even if it was so busy we managed to go in the Copou Park, from Iasi, for 30 minutes.
It was very stressful for the grooms and their brides to have all those things in 12 hours. Here’s the result of the very short walk in the park.













On Saturday, 25th of October 2008. at 1st Christian Baptist Church of Iasi was held a classical and traditional jewish music concert. This was done with the help pf Crescendo musical foundation and the baptist church.
The main performer was Pascal Salomon. He is piano player and music professor at the Geneva Academy of Music. There were also another musicians performing:
I really enjoyed it. I liked the the 6 preludes by G. Gershwin because I found some jazz in there (my favorite).
Bellow is a sideshow with the photos I took at this event. If you would like to have any of it please contact me.
