Engage your church in Short-term Missions by serving Harvest in Brăila, Romania.
Church plant Biserica Metanoia in Brăila, Romania joined the Harvest family in July 2008. The church has grown to over 150 people in this former communist country. In Eastern Romania, situated on the bank of the Danube, with over 210,000 people - Brăila is still deeply rooted in the Orthodox Church and former ways.
But, God is birthing new life and the light of the glory of the gospel is spreading through this young church plant. Small groups are flourishing, elders are being installed, outreach is strong, and they have baptized over a dozen people with another group of youth scheduled to be baptized this month. Where the Word of God and testimony of Jesus is proclaimed, lives are being transformed.
Another ministry which the church is supporting is an orphanage housing forty-one kids ages 5-21. The place is called “Home of Hope” and is striving to care for lost, abandoned and neglected children.
We have the privilege to come alongside our brothers/sisters in Brăila by sending teams to help meet urgent needs.
Short-term Missions Teams can be hosted June 20 – August 20, 2010.
