Festival 2016

We are happy to announce that the 2016 – 6th – Festival will take place on Sunday, October 9, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm, at Betel Romanian Baptist Church.  For those that can make it in person, the address is 330 W. Touhy Avenue, Park Ridge, Illinois 60068.

Our special guests include the Elim Brass Band from Timișoara, Romania (Biserica Penticostală Elim), along with Band Director, fr. Rafa Olariu.  It is a great privilege to have this 45-player group participate in the Festival, and to have  Fr. Olariu conduct one of the Festival songs.  The approval of the group’s travel visas is a major factor for making the Festival a success for God’s glory!  The Elim Brass Band will also praise the Lord with their own individual songs during the evening service at Betel Romanian Baptist Church (4:00 – 6:00 pm).

Additionally, we are further privileged to have fr. Puiu Muntean from Șiria, Arad, travel to the U.S. and conduct other Festival songs.

Please pray that the songs and the Word of God reach and pierce all hearts with renewed energy and enthusiasm for enlarging the Lord’s Kingdom!
