Dear friends and family,

Special Greetings!


As October just slipped away, I just want to say a word of appreciation for all of you pastors and your wives and to all other ministers and your wives for your sacrificial work for the kingdom of God and God's people. You are doing a great job, and I want to say a personal THANK YOU!

If you feel unappreciated, discouraged or disappointed, remember, God called you, empowered you, anointed you and sent you. He is with you, supports and comforts you, He sustains and provides for you, He protects and cares for you. God appreciates and rewards you. Keep doing God's work wherever God placed you. Thank you, pastors, presbyters, deacon and ministers' wives!

Church Celebrations

Alleluia Romanian Church of God: On October 20, 2024, Alleluia Church - which is possibly the oldest Romanian Pentecostal Church in the world - experienced a pastoral transition. Bishop Gabriel Fazecas (an RTO Board Member) passed the baton to Rev. Adrian Tirla, who served as the associate pastor for years. Bishop Fazecas pastored the church through a tumultuous time and help the church stabilize, rebound and grow. He also spearheaded the relocation of the church to a beautiful campus a couple of years ago. He also serves as the President of the Romanian Bible Society. Adrian Tirla has served the church as a Youth Pastor, Associate Pastor and now he was invested as the Lead Pastor of the Church. We congratulate both of them, their families and the church. We are also praying for them.


Diaspora Mission Church of God: On September 29, Diaspora Mission Church experienced a God ordained pastoral transition. Senior Pastor and Founder, Bishop Paul Moldovan retired from the church he founded in 2002 along with his wife Dina. For 22 years the Moldovans served faithfully and with excellence. On behalf of RTO and the Administrative Bishop, our Chairman, Bishop Dr. Moses Gaode offered them a special Lifetime Achievement Award. Congratulations and well done to this beloved couple.

In the same service, Pastor Radu Gheorghe was installed as Senior Pastor. Congratulations to Radu and Michelle Gheorghe for this new responsibility. We are praying for them and are asking the Lord to bless their ministry.
