Fifteen years ago, a 10-year-old girl named Simfora Ostriceonu gave a Bible and a set of lessons to her atheist history teacher, Sebastian Tirtirau. As a result of that kind gesture, Tirtirau accepted Jesus, became a Christian and went on to establish a ministry that is reaching the remote tribes of the world with the gospel.
Had it not been for Ostriceonu's courage during a time when a person could be thrown into prison for sharing the Bible, the events of January 2007 may never have taken place. Instead, thanks to her simple act of faith, more than 200 people gathered in Vama, Romania, on Jan. 21 to dedicate a "Remote Tribe Training Center" that will be used to proclaim hope in Jesus to the far corners of the world.
