Teodor Bulzan was called into ministry 10 years prior to the 1989 Romanian Revolution. \u00a0But it was after the Communist regime ended at Christmas in Romania that he took his leap of faith. On December 23, 1989, Teodor quit his job and began working in full-time ministry. He was only able to do so because God faithfully prepared Teodor for the freedom that would come after the revolution. \u201cGod called me and provided in all areas: church and my family. He is and remains faithful!\u201d he shares.<\/p>\n

A Scripture that has guided Teodor is Isaiah 54. He took it as a prophecy for his own life: a vision of what he could do and what was to come. Verses 2-3 state, \u201cEnlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back, lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities,\u201d and verse 13 says, \u201cAll your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like the Scripture teaches, Teodor was able to stretch his tent and strengthen his stakes when he began pastoring at Bethany Christian Center in Oradea, Romania, in 1991. He pastored there for over 20 years until, just this March, he transferred pastorship to his son, Tiberiu, completed by General Superintendent Bishop Doug Beacham. Teodor also passed the mantle of bishop to the PH churches in Romania to his other son, Timotei, in 2022. Teodor\u2019s youngest sons also serve by helping with worship, and his daughter leads small group ministry. Teodor and his wife, Sanda, are also the proud grandparents of 12 grandchildren!<\/p>\n

Throughout his life, Teodor has seen the Lord\u2019s hands working in his life, church, and family. He wrote a book in which he describes how God has worked in his life titled At 25: An Obstacle Course from a Participant\u2019s Perspective<\/em>. \u201cOne word I can sure say: God is so gooooood!\u201d Teodor appraises.<\/p>\n

Teodor is grateful for the Lord\u2019s provision and guidance, and it is his hope that everyone know how faithful God is, that He is working in Romania, and that He is good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":5300,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5299","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-general","8":"entry"},"title_es":"","content_es":"","author_name":"Kelleigh Knight-Whitten","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/08\/Picture-1.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Bx-1nt","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
