A Missionary to Mexico

This is our newest missionary from Danube International Church, Timi, with Pastor Ronnie. Timi grew up in a non-Christian family from Transylvania, Romania. She had a difficult upbringing and "wondered if there was love in the world at all." By God's grace, she was saved during an American Christian camp in the summer of 2000 in Romania.

For the last 4 years, she has lived and worked in Budapest. She was a Word of Life Bible School student for the first 2 years. Then she stayed 2 more years as an intern with Word of Life, serving as the Assistant Dean of Women. She also has been a valuable member in Danube International Church. Timi was one of Meredith's teachers in the Awana program when we first arrived in Budapest! The Sunday School program at Danube has also benefitted from Timi's service.

After getting the chance to visit the family in the states who payed her tuition for the Bible School, the Lord burdened her heart for the youth of the Americas. She started praying for an open door somewhere in the Americas. God opened a door to Mexico and beginning in September she will serve with Adventures in Missions (AIM http://www.adventuresinmissions.org/ ) in the First Year Missionary Program. Timi will be ministering to people that need the gospel, discipling others, and being trained by full-time missionaries in various areas of ministry.
