| Welcome |
 In July 2007, Melanie Roorda, Maurice, Karen, Nolan and Liam Hopkins left North Chili for a one year short term mission opportunity in Sighisoara Romania. This is the 5th year of a five year plan to support the ministry work of Roberta Bustin, Pastor Church of Nazarene and Dorothy Tarrant, Director VERITAS Ministries.
The Team primary focus is to create relationship for ministry. Those relationships include leadership in new ministry in Baragan a part of Sighisoara as well as in Tsigmandru a village outside of Sighisoara. Work includes building maintenance, supporting and leading mission teams, support to existing ministries as well as the start up of some new ministries.

 Maurice has been spending endless hours at Tsigmandru to get the church ready for the dedication. Here is a photo of the dedication weekend inside the sanctuary. Everyone looked so nice.
Karen continues to work with the new ministries in Baragan. And everyone is working together with the new teen ministry – Halfway to Heaven. One night in November the team got the big indoor gym and played soccer for 4 hours.

He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:7-8
