Advent Center at Berivoi
In a society of false promises and wounded souls, we are a family of once‑broken people finding healing in God. We are the Advent Center at Berivoi, with a mission to form a new class of intentional communities… one that aims for a higher standard, where we are actively learning what true living looks like and what God's original plan feels like. We model our life after Heaven's order… truth joined to love, freedom joined to responsibility. We operate with a sense of urgency while maintaining a stillness needed to hear God's voice.
Our Place
Our Center in Central Romania
Located 24 km south of Fagaras, our home spans over a hectare with a creek running through and bordered by thickly wooded forest. Here we demonstrate that God's ways are superior to false systems, showing that true happiness is found in God's plan.
Our Purpose
We reject the false systems and false ideology that has been manufactured to enslave us. We desire true freedom, physically intellectually and spiritually. We believe in an objective truth, which we hope to humbly discover and live by together.
Goal: Demonstrate that God's ways are superior to false systems
Strategy: Show that true happiness is found in God's plan
"Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues."
Revelation 14:8
Three Freedoms We Pursue
Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Freedom through God's Ways
Our Practice
Daily Community Rhythm
Our structured schedule is designed to develop missional and entrepreneurial mindsets through practical work, spiritual practice, and community life.
Daily Rhythm
Each day follows a purposeful rhythm balancing:
- Spiritual Practice – personal devotion and community worship.
- Practical Work – property care, skill-building, and service projects.
- Community Time – shared meals, fellowship, and group projects.
- Individual Reflection – time for study, journaling, and personal development.
This rhythm is designed to cultivate both spiritual maturity and practical capability, training residents to be disciplined, mission-ready, and self-sustaining.
Community Focus
We emphasize the importance of punctuality and presence at our three key daily community moments (7:1:7): Respecting these times fosters harmony, accountability, and a culture of service.

Real experiences from people who've stayed with us
Emanuel
Canada"It's been a spiritually, physically, and mentally enriching experience… Rob shares powerful teachings on God, end times, responsibility, and country living… His Bible and Spirit of Prophecy insights helped me see our short time left and my role: to vindicate the Father as part of the 144K, hastening His return."
Joaquim
Germany"The reason I would seriously recommend to visit this place is because there is a greater purpose that permeates everything that we do, serving God daily by refining our character to be as perfect as Christ, fostering deep love and appreciation for every person… and ultimately taking part in the 144k that will end this great controversy."
Samantha
United Kingdom"I didn't just learn about missional entrepreneurship… I grew closer to God. I learned about country living, healthy eating and most importantly, what my part is in this great controversy… this experience has truly changed me as a person."
