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.

May the Lord bless your generosity and multiply it back to you-all for His glory!
All my prayers for you are full of praise to God! When I pray for you, my heart is
full of joy because of all your wonderful help in making known the Good News about Christ.... And I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in his grace until his task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns.
How natural it is that I should feel as I do about you, for you have a very
special
place in my heart. We have shared together the blessings of God.... My prayer
for
you is that you will overflow more and more with love for others, and at the
same
time keep on growing in spiritual knowledge and insight, for I want you always
to
see clearly the difference between right and wrong, and to be inwardly clean,
no one
being able to criticize you from now until our Lord returns. May you always be
doing those good, kind things that show you are a child of God, for this will
bring
much praise and glory to the Lord. (Philippians 1:3-11)
The Lord has done great things for us, and we are
filled with joy. (Psalm 126:3)
