monthly missions highlight
We are appointed AG missionaries to Romania, a country from which we miraculously escaped communism in November, 1981. Since the fall of Communism, we felt compelled to take the Gospel of Jesus to the people of Romania. Year after year we took mission teams across Romania, preaching the Gospel and seeing many people saved. After the revolution Romania was lacking ministers, places of worship and leaders to help integrate and disciple new converts. Seeing this great need, we prayed and fasted, waiting on God to show us the next step. When the answer finally came, we left behind our jobs, our three married children, and our grandchildren to answer the call to full-time missions. We returned to Romania with the objective of planting churches, training leaders, and serving in the unreached region of Southeast Romania.
Our vision is to plant at least three more churches in the towns of Ostrov, Coslugea and Canlia! These are village where we have already ministered, gave out Bibles and made contacts. There is a great sense of readiness for discipleship and training in these communities!

We recently moved to Baneasa, a city in the region of Dobrogea, where there is not one evangelical church in a fifty-mile radius of the city! Baneasa is surrounded by villages that do not know Jesus as their Savior. We have joined a team of church planters in the region and together we are envisioning that the entire region will be evangelized by the year 2022! The Ministry center in the city of Baneasa serves as a base of operations from where we reach the surrounding communities with the Gospel.
The Baneasa Community Center helps hundreds of abandoned and neglected children through feeding, literacy, and after school programs. The Center also offers adult literacy and job training. The ministry center serves as a temporary shelter for trafficked victims. There is also discipleship and ministry training at the center. Those participating in these programs are assisted by the national leaders, students from the Missions School, short term mission teams, and missionary associates. The ministry center also provides housing for ministry workers in rooms assigned for this purpose.
