Short-term mission means experiencing God and His power for yourself, meeting people from different cultures and letting these experiences affect you. You contribute to world mission and benefit from it. With God, you can go to the limits of your possibilities and experience how he uses your commitment to bring the most important message for this world to people. You will rediscover yourself in a missionary situation and gain a new vision.

Very close to Cristian/Sibiu there is a property with several quarry ponds, a residential building, a guest house and a stable for small animals with storage. Some time ago, Matthias Ruopp, head of Philadelphia, was able to buy a smaller part of the property.
