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.

What would you say if I told you that God loves Muslims deeply ...
.... He has not turned His back on them or overlooked them in His eternal purposes?
Well ... with the rampage of chaos and evil in the Middle East that we have been reeling from these past months, many of you might say, "who cares?".
And if you are a close friend, or family member, you might well be thinking, "what the heck is she doing, going to such a crazy place at such a crazy time!"
But as the faithful saying goes, Timing is Everything! And this is God's Time to save Muslims!
Since I joined the MECA Team of e3 Partners in June 2013, I can honestly say its been the most difficult and the most wonderful time of my life.
What we never see on our TV screens are the incredible first-hand accounts, the transformed lives, the faces of joy and love, the tears of grateful repentance of hundreds of thousands of Muslims who are finding Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
But I have seen it. I know. And that's what fills me with joy.
So I don't mind if you call me "crazy", 'cos I know I'm no braver than anyone else.
But I also know that if this is the window of time, why should we retreat?!
My region is the Middle East. And, by God's favor, the half-million Muslims in Australia. With e3 this past year, I have been able to lay a foundation for continued work in both places.
Things are winding up on this planet and we need a surge!
What would that look like? Well, in my mind, that would be doing 5 years work in 2 years.
Is that possible? Of course! God goes before us, and makes the way.
I have some unprecedented opportunities penciled in on my calendar for 2015. God is moving and I want to go where He goes! Do you want to help me? Do you want to come?!!
Luke 10:2 "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest that he would send laborers into the harvest."
Thankyou for your love and prayers and support.
So happy to be part of the amazing team at e3. So grateful for you. Thankful to God.
Running to the Front Lines!
The Window is Open .... but not for long!
