Together with the staff we were around 100 people in Prod. We had children coming from more than 11 locations: from 3 orphanages and from different locations where YWAM has ministries.

Children who came from difficult backgrounds or dysfunctional families now had opportunity to understand how much God loves them and wants to be their Father and Saviour who gives hope for future. By praying for them and comforting them in their hurts and wounds we were able to show them God’s love.

We also had fun together, we sang and we danced for Jesus. We played different games and listened creative Bible lessons. Each staff member used his or hers talent to give their best for the children.

The moment we started talking about Jesus controversies started as well. One of the children’s mothers forbid her daughter to come to or activity any more while other parents were happy we were teaching their children about God, for “at least they now know something about Him”, as one of them said.

In August we succeeded to organize a mini-camp for young people. We wanted it to be a camp especially for non-Christians, but not only, and that is how it was. Altogether we had 21 people, and 11 of them were not evangelical Christians or they were not coming from evangelical families. We had youth from the orphanage that we had worked with for two years, boys from Roma community near our base, boys from Dumbraveni, the city where we are planting a church, and youth from Botosani. We rejoiced together worshiping and talking about God’s love, eating Chinese food, praying for missionaries and doing team building games, etc. We tried to discuss a principle of the Kingdom of God through each activity we had; when having worship, discussions, team building games or when preparing food.

I meet with the students to prepare for outreach and I feel like I don't have energy not even for myself, even less to motivate them. We are praying and I get a thought to gather materials for the project: notebooks, books, toys, sweets, medical materials. My question is how to start to gather all this things if we are not even sure if we are going. The logical way is to raise first money for the plane ticket and then to gather the materials. It is not easy to do the things with faithfulness when I don't understand. I start to work and the thoughts of doubt come. I am nervous regarding the finances. Now I don't have to worry only for myself but for all the team. 

"In the beginning for many it seemed like a crazy idea the first Discipleship Training School in Republic of Moldova. It was something like"from nothing with nothing" to disciple youth. But it was the time that God choose and no one succeed to stop this ministry.

I remember the day of 31st of January 2010 when I received an email from someone that they want to donate 2000 Euros for the first DTS in Moldova. It was the most special gift for me from God. After 2 weeks I have received an email that the donation will be of 6000 Euros. I was overwhelmed of the way He chosen to work and to bless the future students. I knew nothing can stay against Him to stop His glory.

Since the end of January 2011 I am the leader of Dinamic. Dinamic is a group of youth from 14-17 years old. Because I did not know Romanian very well I needed someone to translate me. This meant there was always someone with me. It was very hard for me in the beginning to get to know the girls, because the only way I could communicate was through translation. But after a while I got to know them and they started to open themselves for me. The first month there were only 5 girl in the group. From the beginning of March a group of girls from Mosna came. They liked Dinamic and started to come at regular base. This meant the group had 10 girls. Every month there was a theme were was a Bible study of. I gave the Bible study, or I invited someone from church. Besides the Bible studies we watched some movies related to the theme. After the movie we discussed. We also read from the bible and had a discussion about that. We also had a time that we played game and we got to know each other better. Besides the studies we also played some games and we were singing worship songs. By lack of a guitar we sung without. In July there came some more people from Mosna and now there are even coming two boys.

ProMission Festival continued to be a place where we were able to let ourselves transformed to have an impact in all the nations. About 50 youth from all over Romania and also from other nations, gather in Dezna, Arad county, to be used by God in expanding His Kingdom. We had David Gava as a main speaker, he is a man of God, dedicated, and he touched topics like: identity, hearing God’s voice, and also he talked about the fact that knowing God cannot leave us indifferent but it will motivate us to ACTION. Action could mean to get out of your comfort zone and be available for God by serving others. Action can mean to be close to your brother when he falls and to raise him up. To look at someone else’s need and intervene. Action could mean to hear God’s voice when He calls you and go tell the world about Him. God does not look at our abilities, He looks at our availability.
