WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Touching Lives for Jesus Ministry is a ministry devoted to reaching the lost and feeding the poor. During the last twelve years we have had the privilege of working in the country of Romania. In June of two thousand God led us to begin a food distribution program in the village of Rosia. During that first year we furnished bags of food for three hundred and seventy five poor families. Each bag contained potatoes, cooking oil, pasta, rice, bread, and various other items. Today we continue to help the poor in five other villages where we have planted churches. Many of the families live in small one room mud houses with no lights, water or bath facilities. We have observed that many times they have only bread to eat and in some instances not even bread. Children go to bed hungry and parents not knowing where their next meal will come from. There is no work in the winter months in these farm villages so therefore they have little or no income. If there is work they will make no more than a few dollars a day.
By becoming a partner with this ministry you can help feed these children and their parents during the cold winter months and help us to reach them for the kingdom of God. At the present time the gospel is being preached in five villages. The ministry now own the buildings in four of the villages. In two of the villages houses were renovated by taking out walls to make them large enough for a church. New facilities have been constructed for the last two villages. Each new facility will seat around one hundred and fifty. The four churches were planted and completed in the first five years after beginning ministry in the villages.
God is moving and many are being saved and delivered form sin. We have five full time pastors that not only preach the gospel but they help build the churches as well. Sorin Boica and his wife Mihilia Pastor our church in Hosman. Sorin is the ministry administrator there in country. Today each of our pastors are reaching many for Christ as they preaches the gospel to the poor and hurting. Pastor George and his wife Rita pastor our church in Nocrich village. Pastor Claude and wife Simona along with Sorin pastor our first church planted in the village Of Tichindeal. Brother Sorin is one of our eight Bible school students who will be graduating in June 2008. Pastor Cristy Talpa pastors the Fofildia village church and Pastor Raunca pastors our newest church in Ocna Sibiuili, which is a small city of eleven thousand. We are presently constructing a new facility that will seat around one hundred and eighty for this congregation.
We are asking you for your help because without YOU we cannot accomplish what God has called us to do. For twenty-five dollars ($25.00) a month you can make it possible for a large family to have food during the cold winter months. For fifteen dollars ($15.00) a month a small or elderly couple that has no income can have food. Progress is being made and this is because of our PARTNERS. We are grateful for those that have chose to partner with this ministry. WILL YOU CONSIDER JOINING OUR TEAM AND BECOMING A PARTNER.
Due to the people being so poor we are required to pay the pastors salary each month. The people do well to pay the electricity bill and wood for heat in the winter. Your support in this area would be very helpful. For information on how to help go to the “HOW CAN IHELP” page of this website.
Last of all we want to thank you for visiting us and we pray that God will bless and keep you the rest of the days of your life.
We take no salary or wages out of the ministry for our self. 100% of your support is used for ministryÂ
