Just For DOC
Taken from wiki....
The Maramureş wooden churches in Northern Transylvania are a selection of eight examples of different architectural solutions from different periods and areas. They are Orthodox churches. They are narrow but high timber constructions with characteristic tall, slim bell towers at the western end of the building. They are a particular vernacular expression of the cultural landscape of this mountainous area of northern Romania.
Maramureş is perhaps one of the better-known regions of Romania - but still not much travelled. Its well-preserved wooden villages and churches, its traditional lifestyle, and the local colourful dresses still in use make Maramureş as near to a living museum as can be found in Europe. The beautiful gentle landscape of fields and meadows, dotted with farms and villages, and its inhabitants, welcome visitors with wide-open arms. The famous wooden churches of the region were built during the 17th and 18th centuries, on the place of older churches that no longer exist. They are a response to a prohibition against stone Orthodox churches. The churches are made of thick logs, are quite small and dark inside, and painted with rather “naïve” Biblical scenes. The most characteristic features are the tall tower above the entrance and the massive roof that seems to dwarf the main body of the church.

This is Randy driving in Bucharest. He did great....I am having trouble uploading my video's now after seeing it work the last couple of days. I am not sure what the problem is. I am looking into this but if you happen to have any ideas please let me know. I am seeing the image on the compose page, the Html looks good but the blog is just blank or has the square and no footage. So let me know if you can help me. Thanks. I want to post about our trip to the Dentist...

Form One Group
This Bible study is happening as I post it. I left Teresa just a few minutes ago as she started her first lesson from the step Form One Group. After finishing the 20 lessons under the teach one lesson step they now move towards the Form One Group with a book called "I have been Born Again Now" what by Charles Brock. This plan is pretty on paper but looks more like a train wreck when put into practice. Pray that we get some momentum back and start going into these houses with more and more people. Notice the NICE QUIET environment they have to work in especially at the end!

Interview with Bogdon
We had a chance to speak with Bogdon and ask him about the church start, his work and his family. Only 1 minute but very interesting as you will see in this short clip.
