Churches in Romania Transform Communities
Cristi Peticioiu is a DNA trainer from Romania where he has worked for many years helping pastors and church leaders embrace a Biblical worldview and begin to practice a wholistic, transformational ministry. He recently shared this update:
"Our strategy in Romania has three parts. First, we train local churches to become "model churches" of holistic ministry in the community. Second, we train and mentor local trainers to multiply the teaching throughout the country. Third, we create a base of resources and curricula in Romanian focused on Biblical worldview and wholistic ministry. This year I will translate Darrow Miller's book Nurturing the Nations: Reclaiming the Dignity of Women in Building Healthy Cultures. I will also translate the On Earth as it Is In Heaven curriculum. "Romania is a culture that has been deeply influenced by a secular/naturalistic worldview. As a result, it is rather difficult even for Christians to think 'Christianly.' Despite this, we are seeing some very exciting impact. Here are a few brief examples:
"At the beginning of January [2009], I got a call from one of the ladies from Momaia church announcing to me that eight people came to the Lord. She was extremely excited and wanted to let me know as soon as it happened. What she said gave me hope and joy. 'We were applying what we learned in your training, to love our neighbors in deed and we did some small expressions of love to our neighbors, who were touched by it and came to church. After several Sundays, they trusted their lives to Jesus.'
"Amost every Sunday, new people are coming to the church to hear the Gospel. That didn't happen in the past. More and more are coming to understand why Christians in the village are acting differently. The leader of the church is now facing a new problem--they need to expand their building to fit them all. Women from the village are also educated to create their own clothing, which is being done with the support of one of our volunteers working in the villiage community center.
"In a meeting with the Mayor of Tigveni (where Momaia church is located), he stated that he gained trust in gypsies as he worked with this the church leaders and agreed to improve their living conditions through various community development projects.
Through the training and encouragement of these pastors, the community of Tigveni is increasingly able to discover local resources, skills and knowledge, which is being used to solve community problems, and together both church and civic leaders are seeing significant postive change in the community.
