Dalma Toadere
Musician
I am a professional driver. In 2001, I received the Lord, and in 2006, the Lord took action regarding one of my childhood dreams: to learn as much as possible about cars. So, He sent me to university.
And because He knows and is able to do far more than we ask or imagine, He also granted me the opportunity to pursue higher education in knowing Him. And so, in 2023, there I was, attending KCPR school.
Viorel Jantea
Engineer, Abrud
God said He would make me whole. Unexpectedly, I found myself at KCPR, where He did exactly that.
Week by week, He addressed every area of my life, turned things upside down, cast out the lies, and restored me. For two years now, I have lived every day filled with His joy. I am so happy and grateful.
