Alfa Omega TV - What we do
We are missionaries through media, reaching Romanians all over the world, as well as other communities in Eastern Europe. We do media ministry through:
Television
Television is the main media technology we use for our missionary work. We broadcast two 24/7 TV channels, we produce hundreds of programs every year. We are also providing Christian programs, produced by us or by our partners, to over 40 partner 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 or mobile devices. One 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 both for individuals, as well as for churches. One can learn more about this by demanding 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 to 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 partners to offer them one-on-one support.
Mission through television
Alfa Omega TV Channel
Our main project is the Alfa Omega TV channel, on air since June 2006, the first Christian TV channel in Romania. Our target audience is the Romanian community everywhere, regardless of location, denomination or religious affiliation.
We offer a large variety of programs, for people of all ages: documentaries, movies, Christian educational programs, cartoons, children programs, talk-shows, news from the Christian world, musical programs, youth shows, science, culture and civilization programs.

Witness and part of God’s work in Romania
Live TV shows with prayer
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.
Reflecting God’s work in Romania
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

Content Strategy
1. Evangelism - Most of our audience is not born again. Via TV programs or web resources, we always present the Gospel in the homes we’re allowed in.
2. Direct Ministry - We are doing our best to provide prayer and ministry to those in need, through live TV programs and our follow-up ministry.
3. Spiritual life & growth - Many of our resources are for discipleship, to help people deal with issues, know God better, grow spiritually and be equipped for ministry.
4. Christians’ relevance to society - Every Christian is called to be salt & light, as they know God, mature and deal with issues. We do our best to encourage & equip regular believers to represent the Kingdom of God in their context.
5. Understanding the times - More than just being spiritually mature and a light in one‘s community, we believe it is important for Christians to understand the times we live in, to prepare and to prayerfully respond to them. We present realities from a Christian perspective.
6. Reflecting God’s work in Romania - By reflecting what God is doing through His Church in Romania, we connect believers and broaden their perspective.
