From the Board of Directors
The strength of Remember the Children has always been relationship building. Through the years under Andy Baker's leadership, the ministry has spent time and energy getting to know Christians in Romania. We've asked the question: “How can we help?” Our vision has always been about helping friends and encouraging and supporting indigenous ministry in Romania. In the process of helping, many lasting friendships have been made and countless needs have been met. The ministry has expanded from helping orphan children, to including elderly, disabled, and Gypsies. Many of God’s forgotten children in Romania are being blessed through Remember the Children!
Looking ahead, our priority is to continue to move into long-term relationships with select, national ministry partners in Romania. Our question will be: “How can we help you accomplish your ministry?” We want to develop trusting partnerships over time, through which God’s kingdom will be strengthened and expanded. We call these relationships “Strategic Servant Partnerships.”
Our approach is focused on identifying, equipping, and empowering Romanian Christians in highly relational, asset-based, eternally-significant approaches to ministry. Strategic Servant Partnerships are:
- Relational—We know that good partnerships take time. We will invest in established, trusted relationships that have significant potential for high impact over the long term. Our experience is “quick fixes” rarely “fix.”
- Collaborative—We do not ask: “What’s wrong with you?” We do ask: “How can we support your gifts and dreams?” We want to be true partners in ministry, joining God where He is already working.
- Ministry-oriented—We value the local church and ministry as the best hope for changing the world. We want to empower those on the front lines: Romanian churches, their leaders, and other Gospel-focused ministries.
The staff and board of RTC are excited about the possibilities that exist for us to serve our Strategic Servant Partners, how they can bless others, and most importantly, how we can work together to bring the kingdom of God to Romania!
