We believe in the power of local leaders.
Equipping pastors to impact their churches & communities
RTC believes that lasting solutions to the orphan crisis in Romania require more than partnering with orphanages. They also depend on strengthening local ministry leaders—so they are equipped and empowered to care for their own people effectively.
Because the Church is God’s vessel of hope, we are passionate about investing in Romanian pastors and the congregations they lead. Our vision is to see churches multiplied and filled with young people who will carry the Gospel into their communities and circles of influence.
We work toward this vision by mentoring and training pastors and by partnering with strategic missions organizations—like the East European Bible College—to raise up the next generation of pastoral leaders.
We invest in pastors through:
Personal Mentorship
Remember the Children mentors a network of pastors engaged in new church work across Romania, offering encouragement, prayer, and practical guidance. Many have gone on to plant churches, launch outreach programs, and share the gospel in unreached areas. We’re grateful for these leaders and excited to see how God continues to work through them.
Church Planting
We believe everyone needs a local church where they can worship, grow in faith, and experience Biblical community. That’s why we are committed to planting churches in underserved areas and equipping people to start new churches in their neighborhoods.
So far, we’ve planted 17 churches in Romania, and 7 in Tanzania, witnessing how vibrant church communities transform lives and neighborhoods.
Bible Curriculum Translation
We partnered with professionals to translate a Bible study curriculum into Romanian. This resource brings the themes and truths of Scripture to life, and pastors are using it to inspire a deeper love for God’s Word across Romania!
Leadership Training
Twice a year, we equip pastors through dynamic leadership conferences, covering church planting strategies, discipleship tools, self-care practices, and more. These gatherings give pastors the resources and inspiration they need to lead their congregations and make a lasting impact in their communities.
Leadership Seminars
Ministry training is often hard to access in Romania and Eastern Europe, so we bring in-person seminars directly to local leaders. We cover topics like marriage, leadership, parenting, and relationships—all rooted in Biblical principles and taught by trusted leaders.
