Streaming video of the 5 p.m. concert in Bucharest in Radio Hall is available for a limited time, I'm told.
Go here: http://oamenisiperspective.com/video/For some reason, I'm having trouble getting past about minute 21. But go ahead and try it. That first 20 minutes are fabulous!
UPDATE: After I had repeated trouble getting past the 21st minute, I got it to work by exiting the browser then re-starting it. You may also want to exit all unnecessary applications.

Video of Bucharest concert for a limited time - updated
Mircea - His continuing story
Pictured: The oldest singer in OAMC, Norman Skeels, 83-1/2, and the youngest, Mircea, 14, from RAMC.
Posted again with photograph
NOTE: Lou Wildman received the following in an email from Alin Apostol. Mircea is the youngest singer and is a member of the Orthodox church, as is his family. He is a fine young man and this will be interesting to the guys.

Lots of stories are unfolding as we move on. I will take time to share them with you so your men and their families and the whole OAMC family will glorify God, for He deserves it greatly.
I was talking to Mircea and his mom the other day. He said the whole tour was awesome! He is speechless. He was very much moved by the fact that you guys acted like we were one big family. He wishes it was not over. During the whole tour he felt like he was part of the family. He did not want to feel like he was from a different church, but that he belongs here.
He shared with his teachers where he had been and what he did – because he had to miss school for an entire week. His French teacher asked for a CD. I gave Mircea two, one for his mom and one for his French professor. I am curious to see what her reactions are.
Mircea is a great kid. He told me whenever we have a rehearsal or something like that, I know what to do: “Just call me and I will show up.”
God is good; He answers prayers! For years Mircea’s grandmother prayed that her grandchildren and her daughter would come to church. She had the high privilege to see Mircea’s brother and girlfriend for the first time attending a program of the SDA church at our concert in Botosani. She had the great honor to see Mircea sing in the big choir, right on the front row. Cristina, Mircea’s mom, also came; and not only that, she followed us on the Internet on our whole tour.
You probably know that Mircea’s father died five years ago of a sudden death. Nobody knew he was sick. It was at his father’s funerals that I first met Mircea and the whole family. Ever since we are close friends.
God works in ways we cannot imagine. It was approximately four weeks before the beginning of our tour that I asked Mircea to join us, and he did not refuse. From then on, he is part of the large OAMC family. Prayers are being answered in unknown ways!! God is good!!
More stories are unfolding...
Thank you for everything!!
Alin and the Romanian family of OAMC
Blessings in Romania continue

I am speechless! I knew God was up to doing something, but had no idea He would bless me sooooo much!
I may sound a little selfish, but indeed through the mission of OAMC He blessed my family, my church, my country, my whole ministry here. What an incredible experience!
People are calling and e-mailing every day saying it was the best program they saw the Adventist Church do. People felt comfortable enough to invite non-SDA’s.
One of the members in our chorus from Botosani was sharing with the prayer group Wednesday night what happened at the Sunday concert in Botosani. Both his mom and his aunt never came to a program in the Church even though he insisted very much in the past. They are Orthodox. But since he had bought them tickets, they came at the public hall where we held our concert.
It was during the intermission right after we had our hymn sing in the round that the mother went outside, but his aunt remained on her seat. She picked up the conversation with two Orthodox ladies sitting in the row behind them. One of them was saying to the other among other things, “If Heaven is this nice I would like to be there.” She was so impressed by the whole program and by this comment that she keeps on telling everyone about it. And while sharing this with us, the chorus member had a huge grin on his face – because his family finally got in touch with the church and opened up the way for great things to happen in the future.
He became Adventist seven years ago, after his dad, who had joined the church, died of cancer. He is a very, very sincere guy. I am happy that OAMC opened the door for his family to see a glimpse of what Heaven is going to be like.
