ROMANIA

Romania is an agriculturally rich region that has enjoyed steady progress since overthrowing its communist regime in 1989. Its Black Sea coastlines have become a popular tourism destination while the Carpathian Mountains tower over the west.

Beginning in 1947, Romania became an independent communist state with a highly oppressive regime. The secret police were among the most ruthless and invasive in Eastern Europe. Under communist rule, the Church faced widespread persecution. Christians endured forced labor, torture, exile, and even death. 

In December 1989, a swift and bloody revolution swept through Romania following the government’s attempted ousting of pastor László Tőkés in Timișoara. Protests turned into riots that eventually led to the arrest and execution of President Nicolae Ceaușescu on Christmas Day. 

Since the fall of communism, a significant revival has swept through Romania. The pain endured by so many Christians has set the stage for an amazing new chapter in the Church’s history and you can be a part of it.

Today, there are nearly 6,000 churches established across the country. With Europe’s fourth largest evangelical population, Romania has become a strategic focus for missions agencies who are planting churches in the country’s unchurched villages. Still, 67,000 people remain completely unreached within Romania and countless communities are still without a local church.

You will not believe the privilege God has given me! I am overwhelmed with His goodness for allowing me to pursue my passion & my dream! I am coming on staff with an incredible ministry, e3 Partners, to help lead the children strategies initiative. I get to travel around the world to train people to reach children and parents for Christ. SO SO EXCITING!!!! This is my dream come true!

When I was in Cuba last November I met a 5 year old boy named Ricky. He was so hungry for God! He absorbed everything we shared like a sponge. When it was time to go sharing the Gospel in the neighborhood, he dragged us to his mom’s house so she could hear about Jesus! When we got to their door he pushed me from behind to hurry me up. He shared the Gospel with her using the EvangeCube. What a precious sight to my heart! It brought tears to my eyes. As we were leaving their area he says, “This is so important! I have to share this with everyone!” Pinch me please! This was truly beautiful. I want to train people all over the world to do this exact ministry.

With this privilege comes a huge responsibility. That's where you come in. I cannot do it alone! I am looking for a team of godly Christian people that will come alongside with their prayers and with their finances to partner with me in this huge endeavor. God is doing amazing things! Please prayerfully consider joining my team to reach thousands of precious children for Christ. They are hungry and in need of Jesus and we can shine Jesus TOGETHER!

Please glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together (Psalm 34:3) by reaching the other "Ricky's" of the world!
