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.

Our Story:  Adventuring with God!


Most of you know that I (Jan) have been on staff with e3 Partners for over 20 years now and was previously widowed for 26 years.  In 2011 God brought an amazing man (Chuy Martinez) into my life.  We married in 2012. A year later Chuy turned in his chef hat and knife in exchange for a call to full-time missions.  His heart was drawn to use his talents for the Lord.  Actually, he did hold on to that knife, and since we both love cooking, we often are asked to do events for e3 Partners, our church, marriages and even funerals.

We are currently working together with a focus on Community Transformation (CT).  CT is training the local churches to engage their communities, recognize their needs and develop strategies to address and provide solutions.  This results in giving hope to the local people, improving their lives and connecting the church to their community.

At this time we have been overjoyed working with local refugees here in Arizona.  We are so grateful and very blessed by having a wonderful team of ministry supporters who choose to invest in expanding God's Kingdom by partnering with us in our lives and ministry.  We could not do the work of the Lord without your partnership.  We thank you so very much from the bottom of our hearts! 

Love,
Chuy & Jan
