RTC and CMF believe investing in leaders strengthens churches and communities. Thank you for helping these ministry partners attend Exponential Budapest 2026, where they learned, built relationships, and encouraged one another to better serve the people and communities they lead.
More than 250 people joined us, including so many friends and families who have been part of the RTC story over the past three decades. We were also joined by several Romanian ministry partners who traveled to be with us: Marius & Lidia, Razvan & Timea, and Mircea & Lidia. Hearing them share how RTC has impacted their lives and communities made the evening feel like a true family reunion.
What an incredible two weeks I just had during my latest visit to Tanzania and the Eternal Family Villages! It was an absolute joy to be there for the dedication of Village 2 and the clinic in Malolo Ward.
Looking back over the past eight and a half years and seeing seventeen homes, a school, multiple farming projects, a clinic, and several churches established is truly amazing. We are so grateful for God’s blessings and for the many partners who have helped make what I initially thought would be a very difficult undertaking possible
When Mircea invited me to the dedication of Eternal Families Village 2 in Tabora, Tanzania, I expected a celebration. I didn’t expect to be so overwhelmed by what I saw.
Remember the Children’s presence was everywhere—even on the shirts worn by children from Village 1 as they sang and danced during the celebration. I sat in the front row watching them rehearse and couldn’t hold back a few tears…
During our recent revival services in Tanzania, I received a note from one of the women who attended. Her words were humbling and reminded me of the importance of simply being present and seeing each person, no matter where we are.
Her story is a reminder that Christ meets us in our struggles, gives us hope for today, and promises hope for the future.
I recently had someone ask me when I have felt most afraid in my time serving overseas. I think some of my greatest fears and times of exercising deep prayer have been on turbulent flights across the Atlantic. In all sincerity, I thin the times I should have felt fear, I have been too entrenched in the moment to allow any emotion to overcome me.
In 2001 after five years of part-time work in Romania, Remember the Children was incorporated, and we secured our 501(c)(3) non-profit status. The first item on our agenda for the future was to travel to the Republic of Moldova with the senior leadership of Caminul Felix to begin a partnership to develop children’s homes in Chisinau.
In 2014, RtC founder Andy Baker was in Romania with a mission team. One of the team members, Katrina, brought water purification devices for the Roma villages in Santandrei. Some of the residents were getting worms because they were drinking contaminated water, therefore the devices seemed like a great way to bless the communities.
This week, I met with one of our Romanian church leaders, Adi Galiger over Zoom. He is the pastor of Impact Church Oradea, which is celebrating their 10th anniversary in June. This church has spent the last 10 years serving the people in Romania spiritually and physically—they’re a huge blessing to their community.
