MISSION ROMANIA 2024
Szekelyhid, Romania - September 2-11, 2024

Baptists on Mission (BOM), in partnership with Hungarian Baptist Aid, have worked with Hungarian-speaking Roma (Gypsy) people of Central Eastern Europe since 2008. 2014 saw the expansion of this work into three countries, Hungary, Romania, and Ukraine, as God has opened new doors of opportunity. North Carolina Baptist teams have shared the love of Jesus with the Roma communities through medical clinics, vacation bible school, outreach events, and evangelistic services. In 2014, our first teams were able to work in the Hungarian public schools to provide English bible camps in areas where there is little to no evangelistic witness. Applicants must be at least 16 years old to participate. 

In 2023, Aversboro participated in helping families prepare for the new school year, distributing school supplies, providing VBS for children, assisting a church with building repairs, and leading a week of worship services in area churches. 

In 2024, Aversboro will return to Szekelyhid, Romania with Baptist on Mission and Hungarian Baptist Aid. We will provide VBS for children and youth, lead worship, and help with community events. We may also be involved in some light construction.
