We want to build on this, so we continue to fundraise through our Spring Appeal in order to make this possible. We are currently meeting potential new leaders. Our Spring Appeal has raised over £27,000 and we are asking you to help us hit our target of £60,000. Although some way off our goal, we know just how important raising new leaders is and so are persisting in pursuit of it. Here is Timi Cristian’s story:
Timi’s life has always been closely connected to Rock of Ages Romania. Born as the ministry launched, he witnessed his parents, Mircea and Ronela, dedicate themselves to bringing hope to people in prison. Their unwavering dedication planted seeds of compassion and service in his life.
A marketing and theology graduate, Timi wrestled with questions about his calling. After much prayer, Timi recognised that his struggles were preparing him to serve those often overlooked by society. Now Timi is preparing to step into full-time leadership at Rock of Ages, leaving a secure job at Amazon. With support from Mircea and Ronela, he is already leading projects, expanding the ministry’s digital presence, and engaging younger volunteers. This transition builds on thirty-one years of work, aiming to carry the ministry forward into a new season.
Amidst this change, Timi and his wife Sabina welcomed their first child, Levi, in February—a time of great excitement and transition. Please pray for Timi, Sabina, Levi, and Mircea and Ronela.
To support leaders like Timi, please consider donating to our Spring Appeal.
Thank you for reading this and for your help.
