We want to reach our area by establishing evangelical churches. We hope
to plant churches in the villages and in the town of Draganesti-Olt. We
also intend to train local leaders in every village in the county so they
in turn can carry on the work of planting churches.
Olt county is
on the southern edge of Romania. Here there are many villages where the
people have never heard the Gospel. Only 0.2% of the population is born again Christian. We plan to plant churches in these villages.
There are many Bulgarian and Turkish people in this area. Our hope is that
some of these people would be saved, and would be led by the Lord to go
back to their own countries and spread the Gospel there. Click here to see a map of church distribution in Olt County.
The plan for
the next 5 years is, with God's help, to plant churches in Draganesti
and Corabia. Both of these towns need a christian evangelical church.
We also hope to plant home churches in as many villages as possible in
the surrounding area. These are our general goals.
Specifically,
we want, through God's will (and this is His will defined in 2 Peter 3:9),
to start (build/plant) a community of born again people, which the Lord
has named His Church, for the purpose of worship, equipping and multiplying.
All these would be done in the warm presence of God's love.
Therefore,
we are working on and want to ultimately see, through all the resources
that are available to us, a church in our town which would reach 1000
members and start planting other churches locally and in the whole world.
To meet these
goals, the following things are needed: Spiritual resources - Much prayer, much wisdom, and the
opportunities and ability to preach the Gospel in many different places
and ways,etc.
An outdoors
Bible study.
Human
resources- Our focus is to bring, by the Holy Spirit's calling,
new missionaries to this area, from our country, from the USA and England
or wherever the Lord might call them from.
A puppet show to present the Gospel.
This is in Stoienesti is a town with 2,500 people.
Material
resources - A tent to hold meetings under during the summer,
A van for transporting people and supplies in the mission field, Bibles,
New Testaments, Romanian christian books to build a library, a home
for missionaries who come to work with us, etc.
In the town
of Coteana, our church meets in garage.
Please pray that we could find our own
building for church meetings here.
