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.

Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to prayerfully consider joining our Ministry Support Team! 

It is truly a privilege to be called into full-time ministry, and we are so humbled and excited to be playing a small role in everything the Lord is doing across Asia! We know this role is aligned with our giftings and exactly where the Lord designed us to be. May we be steadfast and obedient in our mission to see no place left in Asia where the Gospel of Jesus Christ has not yet reached.

In effort to see no place left Asia, we have stepped into a role serving as the primary stateside support for some of the largest church planting movements across all of Asia. A ministry producing over 2,500 Gospel shares, 35 baptisms, and 25 new churches started each day requires a substantial amount of leadership development, training, and tracking work. As the stateside support, we specialize in tasks such as organizing and facilitating overseas regional training summits, implementing high-level strategy initiatives, and leading multifaceted research teams in tracking, verifying, and analyzing complex church networks.

Being a 100% donor funded position with this role demanding full-time involvement, we are actively assembling a team of committed people to come alongside us in prayer and financial support. With a team of 80 to 90 people giving an average gift of $100 to $200 a month, we could adequately provide for our practical needs, ministry trips and expenses, and any unexpected financial emergencies. Our goal is to have successfully assembled this team before our baby girl arrives at the beginning of June!

We hope you prayerfully consider joining our ministry support team. (All gifts are 100% tax deductible.) If you would like to take that next step, simply click the “Donate to this Fundraiser” button above to set up your financial giving account!

We would like to thank you in advance for your prayers, support, and loving generosity! God Bless!
