Workers

Here is a presentation of different workers with whom we collaborate and for whom we are looking for financial support.

Adalberto et Miranda Hawkins   usa france

Adalberto and Miranda Hawkins are missionaries in Paris, France. They serve primarily with refugees and victims of sex trafficking. They currently live in community with new believers from a muslim background, disicipling them through every day life. While they are passionate about sharing the gospel and teaching people to obey Jesus, they desire to equip other missionaries to go and reach the lost. This is what they hope to bring to the table with YFC Romania.

Having already led two french youth teams on mission trips to Romania; they hope to encourage more youth to discover the mission in the coming years and support local missionaries in the field through discipleship and leadership training. In the long term, their goal is to extend their work to anti-human trafficking efforts in Romania. When they are not serving or working; Adalberto loves spending his time reading theology and skateboarding, and Miranda enjoys cooking and playing with their dog.

YFC missionaries to Romania

Responsible for the Youth Music Fest

Sorin & Mihaela heard about Jesus ever since they were very young. One day, while watching the youth in his village waste their time on boredom, Sorin thought to himself that the Church should be present there. Sorin fought hard to bring the Gospel message to their village in an adapted manner. He started with a music festival - Youth Music Fest (http://youthmusicfest.ro/) - which now brings together more than 600 young people each summer. Sorin & Mihaela also began weekly programs for the kids, and music week-ends for the teens.
