George and Shelly Pordea
Missionaries to Romania
George and Shelly Pordea and family have been on the field since March of 1999. Brother George grew up in Romania, so he did not have to wait to learn the language. He pastors Hope Baptist Church in the city of Brasov. The writing on their auditorium wall says, “We preach Christ crucified…”
As you look at a picture overlooking their town of Brasov let me update you on their ministry. The Pordeas have seen steady growth in the church. Presently they have 15 people in their “New Members” class. They had 16 couples attend their couples’ retreat weekend in March. They organized a Ladies’ Meeting on a recent Saturday to strengthen and encourage their ladies and guests. Over 130 attended. 8 people accepted Christ as their personal Savior the next day at their Sunday service.
Each month the young people of the church go into the villages where they have mission churches to spread the Gospel. Please pray that the Lord will continue to use them to win the hearts of the young people in these communities.
