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.

Until the whole world hears!

This phrase has been stirring in my heart and mind for the past several years.  Over the years with all of the mission trips that I have been on, God has tugged at my heart, to want everyone that I know and come in contact with to experience the love of Christ and to know Him as their personal Lord and Savior.

On my first mission trip with e3 Partners I was blessed to share the Gospel early one morning with a lady in her small fabric store in the front room of her house.  Little did I know, but one of her employees working on the other side of the room behind a counter was listening as we shared the hope, peace and love that Christ offers.  After sharing the good news with the owner of the shop we asked her if she would like to ask Jesus to become her Lord and Savior.  That’s when the employee came running up to us with tears in her eyes wanting to have in her heart what she had been missing her whole life.  She said that she knew something was missing in her life and there was nothing she could do to fill that void. She said when she heard the words that we were speaking there was a feeling that came over her and something was different something that she had never felt before.  The Holy Spirit was working in her life. We prayed with both the ladies that day for them to accept the love, hope and peace that Jesus has to offer.  Many people gave their life to Christ on that trip.  I see the work that is being done through e3 Partners to disciple new believers as new churches are being started all over the world.

Back in 2012 I felt God calling me to join with e3 Partners as an International Church Planter.  This position calls for me to partner with friends and family like you to raise support.  Would you pray about the possibility of supporting me through e3 Partners as I share the Gospel and plant churches internationally.
