Romanian Baptist
Women
As I start giving leadership to Romanian
Baptist Women work we began with national, regional conferences
and training of leaders. I have begun to motivate women how
to study the Bible and to start being involved with other
women in the local churches. For better communication and
cooperation besides weekly meetings in local churches we have
established periodically citywide and regional meetings. Using
these opportunities the sisters came to meet and know each
other and learn how to cooperate as a team in social ministries
(e.g. prison and orphanage ministries, street children, etc.).
As the sisters began holding bible studies they were motivated
to start groups of action and they were involved in the specific
needs of the local churches. They formed groups to minister
to the sick, poor and elderly, young mothers.
Annual national conferences were held
in different parts of Romania. The annual national conference
became a training ground, a reunion and also a testimony of
God's work and the experience of joy to know each other. Many
women became prayer partners and friends.
As the numbers of sisters grew there
was a need for more training of leaders. I decided to have
three times a year women leadership semi-nars we studied principles
of leadership, bible studies, organizing our annual conference
and also 8-10 regional conferences per year.
A national prayer chained was formed
in 1995 which grew to encompass 1.300 sisters who pray 24/7
for common spiritual and physical needs in Romania and around
the world. The Inter-national Day of Prayer of Baptist Women
in November contributes to unity with a purpose and a vision
in mission with sisters from around the world.
The magazine "Christian Family"
has an important role in the communication of this day, the
prayer chain and other activities. We, Baptist sisters of
Romania, seek to glorify and honor God, to work together in
unity, to grow spiritually and to be exemplary followers of
Christ, serving the family and the Church in the power of
the Holy Spirit.
