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 Czech Story: I was a child, visiting my Babicka in the city of Prague when the Russian tanks rolled into town. It was this event that would lead my parents to make the very difficult decision to uproot their young family and seek asylum. Many months and two refugee camps later, we relocated in NYC, three children and no English. Two generations of Communism have left Czech Republic the most atheist country in the world, now an unreached people group, with only .05% believers in Christ. Our personal experience has been that the people, the students in particular, are brilliant, creative, and open to the gospel. Over the last several years, Anne and I have had numerous opportunities to go to Czech Republic and spread the gospel. Our main ministry there is with Word of Life Camp, teaching English, sports, and reaching students with the gospel. In recent years, Word of Life has welcomed those who are displaced due to the war in Ukraine. 

Our Melbourne Story: Here in Melbourne Florida, we work in an area of town that is heavily populated with immigrant kids like I was, from Haiti and Jamaica. University Boxing Club is a ministry. The athletes, who are serious about their craft, come every single day, and so do I. I not only coach them (I am "Coach John"), I also disciple them in the Word. On Thursday nights we provide a meal and a Bible study. This is our primary ministry, making disciples here in Melbourne, and seeing a harvest. Recently we had a baptism at the gym and seven young men came forward, and one mom as well! God is moving, and we are following.
