A short term mission opportunity for you

Since 1999 I have been taking mission teams to work in various parts of Romania. It has been a blessing to be involved with what God is doing in that country. Our partners are Emanuel University and Seminary, and various churches located in that country’s northwestern and southern regions.

The Olt River basin gives its name to Oltenia. This is an area where witchcraft and occultism have kept people in spiritual darkness. Many towns and villages have no exposure to any religion, even the Romanian Orthodoxy.

But God is at work in this region to draw people to Himself. As we have worked there for five years, we have seen new churches planted and existing churches grow. Yet there are thousands of villages and towns with people that have never heard the gospel.

At WorldReach we are continuing to go into this area as God provides opportunities for ministries. We recently started working in the town of Rovinari. It did not even exist until the communists built it in 1984. After the 1989 revolution, a young pastor planted a church in that town and it is now strategically placed to be a light to the geographic area around it.

Because of the young age of the town, it has a relatively young population. There are families that need the hope and peace only available through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

On December 3rd we will be taking another mission team to Rovinari to work help the church through evangelism and discipleship. We will also be working in some of the towns and villages in the area to help in planting new churches or helping expand the new works already begun.

We need workers for the fields that are ripe unto harvest. Some of you listening today have sensed that God wants you to go on a short-term mission trip, but you have been giving Him all of the excuses as to why you cannot go. It is always easier to stay in our comfort zone. But you know that God’s Great Commission was not to stay at home and be comfortable. He wants us to go and He provides opportunities for us to go.

Perhaps this is the reason you read this blog today. God has a place for you on our mission team and He wants you to be part of it. Will you pick up the phone and call me at 888-540-6534 or go to our web site www.worldreach.us and get additional information about the trip?

God has given you special gifts and talents. He wants to use them in reaching others for Christ. No matter your circumstances, if God is prompting you to go, He will provide all that you need to get there.

Take that step of faith that God wants you to take, and commit to becoming a Great Commission Christian. You will never experience Him working through you to bring others into His kingdom, if you are not willing to obey Him. My prayer is that you will not miss whatever invitation He may be extending to you to join Him in Rovinari.
