During 2007 we had some extraordinary missionaries come to
serve here in Romania. These people came and shared their
own experience, strength, hope and love with us here in
Romania. Some were professionals, or were themselves in 12
Step recovery. Others came and offered special skills and
training for our patients and staff. We hope that by telling you
about their work here in Romania you will come to know us
better. To see our missionaries from earlier years Click Here.
