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.

Robert Dutton's Staff Support Fundraiser

Organized by e3 Partners

Right now, we are focused on Honduras in combination with Dr. Wes Kennemore and Sam Neugent. This coming May 27 will be our fourth year working with the medical team in Honduras. Dr. Wes always has a team of about 30 including non-medical evangelism teams. We have worked with them in Peru, Paraguay and now in Honduras. 

This last summer we saw over 1600 patients in the clinic, including the approximately 400 that received reading glasses from Diane and her team. Robert was leading the on site evangelism team.  we shared the gospel with more than 1000 patients with hundreds making professions of faith in our Lord. When the lovely Diane returned to Michigan Sam, Craig and I stayed for a week of door to door sharing the gospel in the Chiquita banana plantation close to Progresso. During that mission we distributed freshwater systems to those willing to start groups in their homes. Hundreds heard the gospel, and many made professions of faith. 

We have been working together for years now. Sharing the gospel, planting churches and meeting the physical needs of people living in the jungles, mountains, towns, cities and now banana plantations of South America. Thank you for being our partners in this work.

Some go, some support, some pray, and we all share in the work of the gospel.
