teaching childrenGO on mission to Romania

Ministry teams travel to Romania several times a year for short-term mission trips. Some go as individuals and some go as part of a ministry team. We need teachers, pastors, doctors and nurses, construction workers, etc., but special skills are not required since we also distribute food and clothing. Ministry teams share the Gospel with the Romanians and over the years, thousands have come to know the Lord as their personal Savior. God has accomplished much through The Bashford Foundation, a non-profit that allows us to work in Romania under the direction of The Union Mission Ministries.

If you would like to join us on a mission trip, or learn more about Reaching Romania, contact James McPherson, Director of Reaching Romania, at (757) 390-7518 or Pastor Chris Gilliam, Director of Compliance at (678) 699-1436.
