Mircea and Vasilica

Yesterday, Jason and I had a really cool time visiting some gypsy communities here in Bucuresti. We started the evening off by stopping in to check on the families living along the railroad tracks between the Cora and Plaza Romania. … Continue reading

A Christmas Visit

We used to visit Drumul Taberei every week, but over the last year, we’ve been concentrating more on planting the church and working with English-speakers (whom we can at this point more effectively disciple).  So by the time Christmas came, it had been … Continue reading

Alexandru Grigorescu and Answers to Prayer

A few months ago, I was really discouraged at how little evangelism I saw going on in this “Christian” nation of Romania.  In particular, I wanted to preach open-air, but I knew no one loud enough or bold enough to … Continue reading
