Imagine reaching out to people in a nation hungry for hope! Romania is a country in Southeastern Europe which borders Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and Moldova to the northeast, and Bulgaria to the south. The capital and largest city is Bucharest.
Romania is a secular state, thus having no national religion. The dominant religious body is the Romanian Orthodox Church. The current population of Romania is 21,402,000.
CHRIST THE ROCK’S INVOLVEMENT IN ROMANIA
Camp Bit of Heaven
Camp Bit of Heaven was founded by Cristi Hodoroba, and reaches out to the young people of Romania, including the large Gypsy population, with the message of Christ. The camp setting provides a wonderful place to capture the attention and hearts of the children and teenagers who come to camp, offering them the hope of Christ. The camp is located in the central part of Romania in Fagaras – near the Carpathian Mountains. There are 10 to 12 camps per summer, where more than 600 children participate. Cristi and his wife Daniela have three children.
Horizon of Hope 
Petry and Kyle Groza and their three children minister through a worship ministry at a local evangelical church in Fargaras. Kyle teaches English in a local village and in the community. Horizon of Hope is a ministry whose main goal is to reach the young adults of Romania and give them physical skills (carpentry, auto mechanics, computer, farming and accounting) to help them survive after they leave a foster home, orphanage or their own home.
