What some Christian leaders and others are saying, who have gotten to know Project Romanian Rescue first-hand…
"Since I first met the PRR 'family' in 1998, I have been impressed and moved by the selfless care and boundless love poured on rescued and orphaned children. The tireless devotion shown by the staff - resulting in children being saved spiritually, physically and emotionally - never fails to move me.
It has been one of the joys of my life to have been able to help support PRR. I truly commend this effective and blessed work, and sincerely urge anyone that can help to invest in PRR and in the future of the children."
- Chris Hamby, UK - Director, The Hamby Foundation (England)
“It is with highest regard and confidence that we at Fundatia Porti Deschise – Open Doors Foundation of Medgidia, that we endorse the PRR ministry which provides a loving, protective environment for children in distress. The children we have been able to place in these homes have thrived and matured beyond our expectations. It gives us great joy to recommend PRR ...for your charitable support considerations.”
- Hardi and Beti Kubassek, President and Vice-President of Open Doors Foundation, Medgidia, Romania
“PRR [is] doing great work, making a real and lasting difference in the lives of young people and families in Romania.
We have been impressed by their hard work, diligence and sheer tenacity in seeking to change the lives and opportunities of disadvantaged young people.
It has been a privilege to partner with them over the years.”
- Dan Morgan, Pastor, New Life Church Holywell, Wales, UK
“…a project helping people which has such a clear vision with a solid Christian basis, [a project which] which really works and produces significant change in the lives of those it helps. Some words to describe PRR: faith, passion, sacrifice, professionalism, impact, perseverance. I have been honored to be a co-laborer with this project for the years I served in Constanta. I will continue to keep a special place [for PRR] in my heart and thoughts.
I encourage you to be part of this special vision and to taste the joy and blessings of involvement!”
- Pastor Daniel Bote (note: he was pastor of the Lighthouse Chuch in Constanta, which is PRR’s historically ‘home church’, and has recently moved to another pastorate)
And this from “PRR’s first pastor” who later started a missions college and has become a national Christian leader in Romania:
“I’ve been familiar with PRR’s work for more than 15 years – right from their start. I’ve been profoundly impressed how the whole PRR team...give of themselves for the cause of the children who come from broken families and whom society has basically cast aside. There have been many situations when, due to financial problems, the PRR staff put the children’s needs ahead of their own, working with the same love and dedication for months without being paid.
Today it is a joy for me to see the fruits of these special efforts which are ‘translated’ into transformed lives of dozens of boys and girls. From time to time I visit the project and I am always amazed when I meet up again with certain youth which were at one time scavengers in the streets and have now become responsible adults.
I heartily recommend this project to everyone who wants to invest in children and youth – one the most important our national resources.”
- Rev. Gheorghe Ritisan, founder and president of the Romanian Centre for Transcultural Studies {CRST), a Christian college for training missionaries (formerly pastoring in Constanta)
“Project Romanian Rescue is one of those rare charities that doesn’t just hand out food, clothing or shelter to kids who really need a home. They rescue kids from the street and in some cases inadequate home environments, and then gives those kids a chance at life.
I have been honored to know and support PRR over the years and the more I see the results in terms of fine young adults they turn out, the more impressed and thankful I am for the vision and commitment (the) team. You guys are a real blessing!
I look forward to continuing to support you and working together in providing employment and starting businesses with your graduates.”
- Ben K. Canadian Christian entrepreneur-philanthropist, living in Romania
From two of the boys (now men in their thirties) who lived in the PRR boys’ home:
“I was sleeping in disgusting tunnels and I would go to sleep not knowing if I would ever wake up. PRR accepted me when their boys’ home first opened back in 1997. At PRR we all went to church and to school and learned to work. I accepted the Lord and got baptized. I got married to a beautiful young lady that had stayed in the PRR girls’ home. We are both serving the Lord and God has a great future for us. Please help PRR to keep helping kids like I was. God bless you.”
- M. I., Constanta, Romania
“….My life was a mess and I was an addict in the streets. Now I am married to a lovely Christian lady and we're blessed with two wonderful children. I thank God and Project Romanian Rescue for saving me.”
- C. A., Medgidia, Romania
