Romania High School GO Team

Romania GO Team

Daniel and Dana Vieru, directors of Open Roads Ministry, located in Craiova, Romania, and other members of the Romanian Christian community have a heart for children that are living in poverty and challenging home situations, and young adults that grew up in orphanages in Craiova.

This High School Ministry GO Team will partner with Open Roads Ministry to come alongside their team to assist with their local outreach at a camp for the youth of Craiova in central Romania. The team will foster relationships with Daniel, Dana, their leadership team, and members of the Open Roads community through organized sports, games, crafts, and other camp activities. While at the camp the entire HSM team will serve as leaders that will assist the Romanian team of leaders.

The team desires to build relationships with all the Romanian leaders and students they serve. Through these relationships, we hope to see those that do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ come to a saving faith in Him and for those that do know Him to grow in their faith. The desired outcome for this team is to develop a lifelong desire to serve others, to develop leadership skills, to foster relationships with our team and the people we will meet in Romania, to gain a better understanding for the global church and our part in global service and mission work, and most importantly, to grown in faith and in our relationship with Jesus Christ.
