A Sunday of Grace and Courage

In an atmosphere filled with enthusiasm and dedication, on Sunday, June 29, twenty-one young people left behind their comfort and stepped with open hearts into a special mission: to serve three village churches, bringing light, hope, and joy to the places where God had sent them. It was not a simple trip, but an act of faith – a calling received and fulfilled with passion.

Each young person carried more than just a message – they brought love, prayer, worship, and also a powerful encouragement through their personal testimonies, sharing openly the supernatural ways in which God has transformed their lives. All of this was born out of a sincere desire to see the body of Christ more united, more alive, more in tune with Heaven. In their eyes shone the fire of a generation that does not remain on the sidelines, but chooses to go, to serve, to give the most precious gift they have: God Himself.

What makes this work even more beautiful is that these twenty-one young people come from thirteen different churches – a living testimony that God brings people together from diverse places for one common purpose: serving and building up the Body of Christ.

This initiative was a concrete step in their desire to be a blessing to the body of Christ in Păclișa, Șeica Mare, and Craiva, bringing encouragement, active involvement, and unity among the communities of believers.

This day was not only about the twenty-one. It was about a God who still moves hearts, who calls young people and sends them out, who builds bridges between churches through the courage of those who say: “Here am I, send me!”
