Each year God provides an amazing intern team to partner with us in ministry. This year is no exception! I'm thrilled to announce the interns that will be serving across Romania with Remember the Children this summer...
Two RTC teams are currently in Romania! Their efforts over the last two weeks have been crucial in building up the local church and providing intensive training to ministry leaders across Europe.
Remember the Children recently hosted four Romanian couples at the Exponential Global Conference (EGC) in Orlando, Florida.
Exponential Global is the premier conference in the US totally focused on the topic of church planting. Experiences like this are unique for our Romanian friends as they do not have access to this kind of development and training in their homeland.
Planting a church can be long, slow and discouraging at times. It is opportunities like this, thanks to your generosity, that encourage, inspire and refresh our team members for their next season of ministry. By investing in them, you are ultimately investing in the lives of the orphan children, refugees and communities they serve.
We believe in the power of local leaders – and so in 2025 we are prioritizing leadership development for our ministry partners in these two ways:
1) Church Planting: RTC is providing scholarships to future church planters to attend one of two Exponential Conferences – in Orlando or Berlin. Training like this is key to the success of new churches by providing access to invaluable insights, strategies, and networks. We are praying for God to use this opportunity to inspire our Romanian partners to know how to do this important work.
As we enter 2025, I am excited that our connection with people participating in short term service will be increasing. In April we have two teams going to serve, one with Agape Church and the other with the Eastern European Bible College. This summer, in partnership with CMF International, we will be hosting six summer interns for mission service. We also anticipate summer mission teams from Azusa-Pacific University and Northside Christian Church, Yorktown, Virginia. Our annual Christmas trip is already taking reservations, and we would welcome you to bring a group from your community to serve with us.
Mission service can be transformative in your life, and the lives of those you serve. We invite you to come with us…
This week, Andy had a Zoom call with Natalie Barentson. She oversees online communications, such as our website and Sunday Stories emails! She first became involved with RtC in 2014 when she was a student at William Jessup University. She is especially passionate about child sponsorship, as she has been a sponsor herself!
Every year, we have the privilege to create and release an Impact Report for you! The 2019 Impact Report reflects the last 10 years of ministry and all that’s happened. It’s filled with stories from people impacted by Remember the Children, a timeline outlining the last 10 years, information on financial stewardship, and so much more.

Dionis was in his first year of teaching when he first saw Esther, his wife. She was in her final year as a student. He said that from the first moment he saw her, he wanted to know everything about her. Our culture might call that "love at first sight." It was for Dionis and he pursued Esther, but she was not interested at all.
