During the last 8 ½ years, our Sunday gatherings of the Bucharest International Church have taken place in a historic building, city center, which housed the Austro Hungarian Embassy 100 years ago. Our church auditorium is located on the 2nd floor of this beautiful building and, with its 2 balconies, has a theater type atmosphere and arrangement.
Some months ago a restaurant was opened on the ground floor. Gradually this new group of renters began to make more demands, take over our space to enhance their business, remove and break some of our equipment and make changes to this historic building without legal permit. Discussion with the owners has been without effect as we see our contract ignored and little spirit of cooperation.
We ask your prayers for wisdom as to how our church leaders should respond and proceed. Perhaps God is directing us elsewhere or could there be another workable solution?
