Romania
Since
the first visit to Romania in 1994, Gypsies For Christ has been involved
in taking humanitarian and financial aid into Eastern Europe in addition
to preaching the Good News and witnessing to the unity of the Body of
Christ.
Every year, the time spent abroad has increased and involvement with the local people and their needs has grown.
In
1998/99 a major Water Project was undertaken in the village of Chirileu
and its successful conclusion was reported on local television. Subsequently
the Romanian government pinpointed 40 other villages to be supplied with
piped water. GFC believes that the success of their project caused the
government to take this course of action.
In Chirileu, the Gypsies were healthier and happier since the introduction of clean water. Some gardens had been planted and the villagers encouraged to grow vegetables. GFC will provide tools and seeds which will form the basis for the Sharon Market Gardening Project. In addition, a Medical Project has been started to support a doctor who works in five villages in the area and the first batch of supplies was delivered in October 2000 before the onset of winter.
Sharon and the Medical Project could have the same effect on the Romanian government as the successfully completed Water Project.
