The city of Medgidia is located in one of the poorest areas of Romania. For four centuries the area was under Turkish occupation, a time when the Muslim influence was deep engraved in the customs and beliefs of the people. After the Communism has expanded in Eastern Europe, this area, like the rest of Romania, was the scene of some paranoiac type projects initiated by the dictator Ceausescu. Since Communism fell, in 1989, the area is struggling to recover from poverty. For many years Medgidia was the top one city in unemployment.

Pastor Vasilică Croitor led the way in promoting a change in this region. His team works in Medgidia and in the surrounding villages. Most of the workers he trained came there as volunteers. These people are well educated and could easily get a well paid job, but chose instead to work among the Romanians, Turkish and Gypsies who need to change their lives.

These people need your support. Together we will be more effective in bringing the love, the encouragement and social support to the people that desperately need it.
