CITAM ROMANIA <strong>REPORT</strong><br />
...we feel very confident that<br />
God will see us through<br />
Rev. Walter Openda<br />
Missionary Pastor<br />
ministry here, we have seen a transformation in the<br />
lives of many.<br />
We still have a few challenges to overcome<br />
amongst them finding a suitable location for our<br />
worship services and building a strong team<br />
that will catch the vision and drive the ministry<br />
to the next level. We still have so much ground<br />
to cover yet we feel very confident that God will<br />
see us through.<br />
<strong>2015</strong> was a special year for CITAM Romania.<br />
The year began on a high note when we received<br />
our registration certificate from the Romanian<br />
authorities in January. Soon after, we embarked on<br />
implementing our church planting strategy. At this<br />
point we were a small group of 14, eight adults,<br />
two teenagers, and four children. After a period<br />
of prayer and trusting God, we acquired a rental<br />
place as a venue to plant the church. By God’s<br />
Grace on 11th October <strong>2015</strong> we launched our<br />
Sunday Services at a colorful ceremony with about<br />
140 people in attendance. It was a blessing to<br />
have eleven Pastors from different churches and<br />
denominations come to support and stand with<br />
us. Following the successful launch, we now have<br />
regular Sunday services where our attendance has<br />
grown from the initial number of 14 to an average<br />
attendance of sixty four people every week, fifty<br />
adults and fourteen children. Since we began our<br />
3 lovely sisters keenly following the citam sunday service<br />
