It's conference week in Romania! We currently have a team leading a women's conference at Impact Church in Oradea and next week a new team will come in to put on a leadership conference at the Bible college. Each team is taking time to connect with RTC churches and participate in outreach alongside longstanding partners. Mission teams bring an energy and encouragement that is a blessing for us and for many whom we serve.
As the war in Ukraine continues, Remember the Children remains committed to assisting with the changing needs through local partnerships. Our friend Jaco recently shared about a specific need that RTC is helping to address.
It brings us great joy to celebrate a milestone in the journey of Remember the Children's church planting mission in Tabora. Three years ago, with your generous support, we backed one of our house parents, Pastor Dionis Buhanda, to plant a new church called The House of Love.
Whether there are individual friends of RTC at your church or your church as a whole supports RTC, it would be a blessing to visit you. We are passionate about partnering with churches, and we hope our ministry creates opportunities for your congregation to see, know, and reach those in need across the world.
The focus of this year's conference was specifically discipleship making as a foundation for the church. Remember the Children believes in the crucial role the church plays in communities, families, and the lives of children through the work of spreading the gospel and making disciples. Each one of our RTC churches have a focus on their neighbors and a conviction that Jesus is the source of all real and lasting transformation.

What a joy it was to meet new friends and see familiar faces at ICOM 2023. One particular encounter with a couple who were around in the early days of RTC was used by God as an encouragement and reminder. Take some time to read the story below as Andy recounts an experience from 25 years ago that God seems to still be writing and rewriting today.
My first visit to Tabora, Tanzania with Remember the Children shaped my perspective with so much hope for the future. Our stateside team returned only a few weeks ago after a short visit for the opening of Eternal Pre & Primary School as well as time with the families and management team at the Eternal Family village.
One of our favorite things to hear is how God brought specific people to Remember the Children. Why are they involved? What ignites the passion in their hearts?
We were excited to hear from Melissa Bolton, a long-time supporter of RtC who has gone on mission trips with us. She’ll share why she is involved in this ministry. We hope it’s an encouragement to you!
