Women’s Ministries in the Muntenia Conference of Romania

Not only do the Women’s Ministries groups in almost all churches of the conference observe the special Women’s Ministries days in March and November, presenting special programs for the churches, including seminars and meals and small surprizes in the program, but the groups are also active in various projects intended to reach out to others. Many Projects are directed at reaching women outside of the church.
Three churches in Câmpina hold monthly meetings for women and also invite their friends to come A lot of guests have been attending regularly in the past years. The women have started a project to help mothers with new-born babies.
There are 20 women involved and working for this project. They are preparing gift-packages for the new mothers and bring them to the hospital for the new-born babies. They knit the products themselves and then travel to the hospital by bus, 3-4 times a week, having 5-10 packages prepared. Each gift package contains a little baby-blanket, a changing towel, a pair of knitted pants, a little bonnet and a pair of knitted socks, a jacket and the missionary book of the year. The oldest woman who is helping with the project is 90 years old. The project started 15 months ago and up to now the ladies have given away 850 gift-packages! Needy mothers in difficult social conditions also get additional help. The project was initiated by the Mărășești Church in Câmpina, but since there are 3 churches in the town, there are women from the two other churches that contribute and are involved in this project. One of the greatest challenges is to find the funds for the material, but God is helping!
