THE COUNTRY OF ROMANIA

Romania is a beautiful country situated on the Black Sea and is bordered by the Ukraine, Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria. Of the country's 23 million people, about 90 percent claim to be Orthodox Christians, most of them being "nominal" Christians in that they have some identification with the church in marriage, baptism and funerals, but most members would not claim to have a personal relationship with Christ.

After 45 years under communism, in December 1989, the Romanian churches joined others throughout eastern Europe in an exultant cry of freedom from the tyranny of oppression and persecution. Communism had fallen; the church was finally free to worship and evangelize.

Romania is one of the least developed post-communist nations economically, but recent changes in the government have given renewed hope to the nation. The main goal of the Country is to enter in the European Community and also in NATO.

The evangelical church is small, but is the strongest one from the Eastern Europe and is poised for growth and greater impact as they seek strategic ways to bring the good news of the gospel to Romanians.

Assistance is requested in many areas: training for church leadership, training in evangelistic outreach, assistance and training for social work and help with direction and vision to name a few. 

For 50 years, Romanian Christians were really isolated because of the Iron Curtain. The Communist government built up barriers also between denominations. After Communism felt down, Romanian Christians found themselves in the shade of very high walls, with fear for communication over denominational, cultural and national barriers. Instead of unity they found isolation.

After a hard and painful history, now Romania has a great harvest and a great potential but less trained and visionary workers and less resources. Our vision is to see Churches and Organizations from Western Hemisphere coming alongside, sharing their experience, their potential and their resources, to enable Romanians to do their job regarding The Great Commission, and to show Christian love to orphans, handicapped persons, street children, etc.
