Lars Hornberg Letter

If there is no vision

The Word of God gives insight, life and vision. And more.
The young generation is always the carrier of the powerful message - if they have been given access to it, theoretically and practically. If the parent generation does not compassionately introduce the generation that follows the parent generation misses out on what is God's plan. That is sad, it is a disaster, a sin.
The Eastern European Bible College is set up for a young generation to be exposed to the Word of God. It is developed by Spirit filled leaders scarifying their lives, lead by God. The life giving support comes from a parent generation of dedicated believers, longing for revival. Parents and churches pray for their young ones, support them and personally send them. That has always been the way when generations work together for and in times of blessings.

We all are blessed with life, and an excess of assets. We can all read the words of the message of this letter, and the Word of God. Thankfully we live and enjoy it all. Now, there are possibilities to take to our hearts that which we long to see, the equipping of young Christians. There are tools to give, and an attitude of longing to extend. We are called to take this step.

Young people, take your decision to follow Christ whatever that will do to you, and wherever he will lead you. There is a world in desperate need of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You are here on earth for a purpose.
Parents, leaders, Christians loving the Lord, Now is the time, We are the people, and this is the Place to take action and do what has never been done before as to further the Gospel to Romania, Europe and the World. There is a special calling on our country for our world.

Become a prayer supporter, a pragmatic supporter, a believer making a difference. The insight about that we have in the world. Life is best lived lead by God - then it makes a profound difference.
Our vision is to do all we can for, and be part of, the last Revival before Jesus comes back.
There is vision from God among us.

EEBC Visitors

Paul Zettersten

Paul Zettersten came to teach and preach in the BIble school. Pastor Paul Zettersten is a member of the Representative Governing Board, a renowned theologian and communicator lecturing at many Bible schools in Europe.

Kurt Larsson

Kurt Larsson, pastor from Gotene Sweden, has from this year become a member of the East European Bible School Representative Board. Kurt Larsson has many years of experience of pastoring and also of bible school training out of Gotabro, Sweden.


My name is Kurt Larsson and I have been living in Sweden all of my life. My age is 47.
The Board meeting in November 2007 was my first meeting in the EEBC board. But I have been in Romania and Oradea once before, and at that time I met some of the students.
I am married to Anna-Karin and we have three children, Rickard 19, Alexander 17 and Elise 15.
Since 1999 I am pastoring a church in a town called Götene, in the south of Sweden. Before that I have been working as a pastor in two other different places. I started to ministry in Teen Challenge, Sweden. I worked in that ministry for about 12 years. During the time in Teen Challenge I started to be interested in mission in a special way. It was an international ministry, and I served together with people from different places all over the world. The Bible school and the Team ministry were my priorities. I have to say that the atmosphere of Teen Challenge is a lot like EEBC, young people that are coming together and want to serve the Lord. They are hungry to learn and willing to be disciples of Jesus.
My experience of EEBC is very positive. I love to be involved in the Bible schools and I am sure that God wants to use these young students in a very special way to reach the country of Romania, but I also believe that God wants to use those boys and girls for mission in other countries all over the world. I have a special burden for Europe, and my prayers are that EEBC is going to be a tool for evangelism in Europe and to give the gospel to the European people, and also to become an example for other young people and other Bible schools.
God bless you all!
Kurt Larsson,
