Donations

A large part of our missionary work depends on donations and there are many areas where you may be able to contribute financially:

  • Our center is only partially finished and more housing is needed to accomodate staff and guests. The hope is to build 2 additional staff houses and 2 guest houses. If you want to contribute to these projects, please note “building projects.”
  • In 2006 we started a network of clubs for Romanian children in partnership with ”JUROPA”: www.miciiexploratori.ro. If you want to support the clubs, please note ”children clubs.”
  • We offer a partial sponsorship for Romanian children from the rather poor countryside or city slums that are not able to afford a camp. If you want to sponsor one child or more, please note “camp sponsorship.”

From North America, make a tax deductible donation to Torchbearers:
