Mission through Media
Working behind a video camera, in an editing suite or in front of a computer, creatively using television, the Internet and new-media technologies, is a missionary endeavor as significant as a traditional ministry. Our goal is to be part of the missionary work in Romania and Europe through:
Evangelism
Alfa Omega is an instrument God uses to save Romanians all over the world. Through the evangelistic content of the media resources sent out, people hear about God, they are transformed and learn to live a Christ-like life. We are media missionaries.
Ministry and discipleship
As a Christian media ministry, Alfa Omega TV sees equipping and discipling believers as a top priority. Since 1994, when we began our activity, a great number of Christians in Romania have been set free, healed, blessed, and encouraged through Alfa Omega TV programs. Our purpose is to minister to and equip the Body of Christ in Romania through all our media content and resources. We are called to disciple a nation.
Reflecting God’s work
Through the years, Alfa Omega TV has been a media partner for various organizations and Christian ministries in Romania. Alfa Omega TV has been constantly promoting revival movements, impactful conferences, prayer meetings, and other events of the Christian Church of Romania. Through television, Christians from all corners of the world are part of what God is doing in Romania.
Alfa Omega TV is Witness and Part of the Revival movement that God is preparing for Romania.
Mission through: Television
Television is the main media technology we use for our missionary work. We broadcast two 24/7 TV channels and we produce hundreds of programs every year. We are also providing Christian programs, produced by us or by our partners, to over 40 affiliate secular TV stations in Romania and other countries.
Internet/new media technologies
Complementing the television work, we use new technologies and tools, relevant for the young generation. Our website hosts thousands of articles and video resources, several online TV channels, a virtual bookstore and other web applications. All these resources are also available for tablets, phones and other mobile devices. Our viewers can also interact with us through all the main social media platforms.
Distributing Christian media resources
The Alfa Omega bookstore offers a great number of resources and Christian content: books, DVDs, Bibles and study materials for individuals as well as for churches. One can learn more about this by requesting our product catalogue or by accessing our virtual bookstore at www.alfaomega.tv/magazin
Prayer support
Beyond any particular media or technology, we strive to become involved in our viewers’ lives and serve them as best as we can, through prayer and counseling. Our staff, together with other intercessors from Romania, are constantly praying for our viewers and those who interact with us, both from Romania and from the Diaspora. We also connect those who need help with local churches and other partner ministries to offer them one-on-one support.
What makes us different: • •

Live TV shows with prayer
Reflecting God’s work in Romania
Alfa Omega TV regularly produces interactive programs in its new TV studio. Men of God present practical Christian truths and pray in the studio for the needs of the viewers. The programs approach a large variety of themes such as healing, deliverance from curses or bondage, restoring Christian families and others. Feedback from our viewers show that their lives have been transformed through salvation, deliverance, restored relationships, physical and emotional healing.
As a media organization, we come in contact with many churches, ministries and Christian movements having the same purpose: to establish God’s kingdom on earth. This gives us an unique insight and overview of God’s work in Romania and enables us to become an integral part of it. Through what we do – producing programs, TV reports, news and promotional materials – we encourage and reflect these movements, witnessing the revival that God prepares for Romania.
Other projects Alfa Omega ministry continues to stand with Israel, producing and airing special programs, promoting and organizing media events and conferences to mobilize Romanian believers to pray for God’s chosen people.
We are airing weekly programs for ethnic groups living in Romania and SE Europe, on Alfa Omega TV and Alfa Omega TV International channels (in Bulgarian, Serbian, Hungarian, German, Slovak).
Creation week – an annual media event promoting Creationism through scientific creationist documentaries, movies and educational programs.
Since 2002, we provide a daily Romanian language block airing on TBN Europe satellite channel, covering Europe (MONSAT, 05:30-06:30 and 16-17).
Alfa Omega Communications Center - our studio facilities are a platform for media projects in Romania and Europe.
We are publishing books and materials about prayer, intercession, counseling, deliverance, and spiritual warfare (Alfa Omega Publishing).
Testimonies • I belong to the Roman Catholic Church. I have discovered you in December and it was only a couple of months ago that I started to really understand what it was all about. I now read the Bible and truly hope to find the way for me and my family. (Constantin) • Alfa Omega has brought a major change in my life as a Christian. I came to the Lord ten years ago, but only now I have reached my spiritual maturity. (Marinela – Brasov) • Three years ago, on a Saturday night, my arm was stiff, and I felt an acute pain in my right shoulder. In the morning I was watching a program produced by Alfa Omega TV airing on a secular network, and the host said that God was healing somebody’s right shoulder. I proclaimed that word for my life, prayed and I was healed! Two hours later I went to church. I did not feel any pain in my shoulder since then. (Alexandra – Brasov) • During a live program, you prayed for children to be born in families. We were touched by that prayer and the Lord is giving us a child in December. (L. family – Oradea) • I would like to congratulate you for your work because there are not so many television stations interested in truly educating the public or the population in general. (Alexandru) • This year spent with Alfa Omega TV has convinced me that “chance” is a way He uses to lead His children to the light. God has used gifted people to expand His ministry, gaining day by day new souls for Him. I cannot imagine a day without Alfa Omega TV. (Lucia - Austria)
