______________________________________________________ EEBC becomes a member of the European Pentecostal Theological Association (EPTA).

EEBC moves its location to Tabor Church in the Sunday school classrooms, and in the attic of the Church.

EEBC occupied, until 2006, every available space of the Church.

Thanks to the generosity of a church in California, USA, EEBC acquired a 2.5 ha piece of land to build a campus.

The first generation of EEBC graduates enter the ministry. Among them were Maria Iordﾄハescu and Lidia Muraru, the first Romanian missionaries to arrive in India.

EEBC is being accredited at a Bachelor level through the European Evangelical Accrediting Association (EEAA).

We want to be relevant in the training we offer, so the EEBC invested in equipping the media laboratories with modern and efficient equipment.

EEBC opens the second daily educational program: Journalism-Mass Media.

It is the first and the only Department of Journalism with a Christian approach in Romania.

We are celebrating 20 years of walking with God. Those 240 graduates from the daily r courses programs and the ove s 8,000 correspondence student are a living testimony of lives transformed, committed to the service of God.

After finishing enclosing the inner courtyard, the facilities were expanded from 650 to 800 sq. m.

EEBC opens its doors for the first class of 22 students.

Being in construction, Bethany Church gave us a classroom. The initial budget did not exceed $100.

The land for the construction became part of the industrial area. EEBC was forced to sell it. The price obtained was more than enough for us to buy the existing building and renovate it.

When God calls IT STARTED In the basement of a hotel that had served us well during many a pastors’ conference as pastors and missionaries were searching for God’s direction. There was a firm belief in the extraordinary importance of hearing God speak. The nation needed to hear. We all needed it. The desire to meet God drove us together in hundreds. Churches and pastors, and the Pentecostal Missionary Society let the conviction of God’s leading be the power that made us say YES to God’s call.

rector Lars Hornberg

Professors, pastors, leaders, board and students were all called by God to see the hand of God in action. This drew us to a comitment to God’s leading. We loved the presence of God in the Bible College. We saw His sanctifying power.

FULL COMMTIMENT Now, after twenty years of service in the Bible College many graduates are out there serving the Lord as pastors and leaders. Young men and women have laid down their lives - and God has invested himself in them. Many young students give their lives to the call to the Missionfield. They leave their homeland, at the prompting of God on their lives and they have seen something new.

Their attitude and God’s presence made them open for that.

For this conviction the Bible College celebrates wholeheartedly 20 years of existence and service this year. It is holy, it is a God thing. All that has life grows and develops. The best times are ahead.

THE ADVENTURE OF WALKING WITH GOD THROUGH FAITH, CONTINUES! We have seen the faithfulness of God throughout the 20 years of existence of Eastern European Bible College.

Starting in 1994, with almost zero resources, over the years we have experienced true miracles through God’s care. This explains why we have developed step by step so that today we offer two educational programs and facilities for study, having today a 800 sq.m. functional building with classrooms, media laboratories, Chapel, offices, and a library containing 18,000 volumes. We look confidently towards the future and by the will of God, we want to build an additional 800 square meters building consisting of a dining room, Chapel and apartments for the accommodation of the students and visiting professors. We are sure that this investment will add to the community life and to the spiritual formation of the students, and it will reduce the costs for the duration of their schooling. We invite you to be part of this project, by donating to the account at Transilvania Bank, EEBC Foundation, IBAN: RO97 BTRL 0050 1205 7407 65XX. May God reward your sacrifice!
