Remember the Children Office
Training Leaders to Transform

This weekend, East European Bible College is full of life as leaders from seventeen churches across Romania and Ukraine gather for our third annual Praxis Conference. Each one has come ready to grow, connect, and return home better equipped to serve.

My phone showed me a photo from 2014 this week—and I couldn’t stop thinking about the stories behind it.

It’s just a simple group picture, but every person in it represents a piece of what God has been building over the years.

Allyssa was the only girl in the group back then. Since that day, she met Razvan, got married, and now they’re raising three kids while serving…

Meet My Gypsy Brothers

Years ago, we set out to do something simple in Romania.

We wanted to train Roma men from small villages to lead churches in their own communities. The goal was straightforward: equip local leaders so the church could grow from within.

But we quickly ran into a challenge.

Don't Overlook the One Standing on the Edge

Can I tell you about someone I met in a small Romanian village?

Her name was Domnica. Whenever our volunteers gathered with the kids, she was almost always nearby. Not in the middle of things—just quietly watching from the edges. You could tell life hadn’t been easy for her. Poverty had left its marks. But she always had this warm, steady smile.

One day we decided to stop and talk with her...

As we celebrate thirty years of Remember the Children in Romania, I’ve been thinking about how this journey has shaped both the ministry — and me.

What I remember most clearly, though, are the children on the streets — and sometimes beneath them, living in the sewers.

One of them was a boy named Florin.

Christmas Team Update

Christmas Team Update

Tonight, Team Christmas Hope had the privilege to deliver Sacks of Hope to the community of Tetchea where our dear friends, Dorin and Dorina Popa, serve. The kids sang Joy to the World in Romanian to us, and we then sang it in English back to them. We then did the same with the fun holiday song, Jingle Bells. Following the singing, I told the Christmas story asking questions along the way, which the children answered quickly.

When I found out that I was going to Romania this summer I was excited and expectant to see the Lord reveal Himself in new ways and to hear His voice in a new way. I never thought that these new ways would be the Lord blessing me and truly understood what it means for God to work and show up in mysterious ways.

Working with Remember the Children has been fulfilling both spiritually and physically.  The gypsy kids in Romania are ready to pour their energy into any outlet, which why they must be taught about the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for people of every nationality at this point in their life.  Their minds are easily molded, so introducing the benefits of a Christian lifestyle could alter the trajectory of their entire lives.
