“See, I am doing a new thing!” – Isaiah 43:19a
God is at work in Craiova, and we are excited to share with you the new things He is doing in our ministry!
A New Church Building
At the beginning of this year, we moved into our new church building. We had been looking and praying for a new location for about a year, and God has provided a great place close to the city center! Now, we have only one location that includes a sanctuary, offices, meeting rooms, and a spacious, welcoming lobby. This space is a blessing, allowing us to better serve our community, disciple believers, and reach out with the Gospel.
New E2E Generation – 8th Generation
We have started the 8th generation of our Equipped to Equip program, with six students this year. One of our students moved from Timișoara to Craiova specifically for ministry. He is actively involved in evangelism and shared how open people are to hearing the Gospel here—he was able to evangelize 50 people in just two weeks! Praise God for His work in the hearts of people in Craiova.
New Program – Hope for the Future: We Educate, Disciple, and Help
As you may know, Craiova has the highest percentage of Roma people in Romania. For years, we have been working among Roma communities through children’s ministry, leadership training, and supporting the poor. This year, we want to take another step forward by launching the Hope for the Future project.
Through this initiative, we aim to recruit full-time missionaries to serve among the Roma communities, helping with education, preventing school dropouts, and helping with their spiritual life. This is a great mission field, and we invite you to be part of it!
How You Can Help
This past Christmas, we organized special outreach events where we shared the Gospel and gave gifts to children and adults in several Roma communities. Now, we are looking for missionaries to join this work full-time.
One practical way to support this mission is through financial partnership. We are seeking sponsors willing to commit $25/month to help sustain and expand this ministry. If you know someone who might be interested, please share this need with them.
Thank you for your prayers, support, and encouragement as we continue to bring the hope of Christ to Craiova!
