Looking back at the past year we could see how God moved in our lives and in our communities. We witnessed great things, we felt the power of prayer and the love of Christ, through people. Every project, every meeting and conference, every gathering brought us closer to God and to our purpose of being “Partnering Christians in Witness and Action”.

Church in Mission
Mission Conference with Dr. Stan Johnson
When we think of the word “conference” we imagine all sorts of pompous things like the lecturers, stuffy materials, participants aspiring to a higher level of knowledge, professional sessions, presentations, etc. That’s correct, because all of this is influenced bi-directionally both by the level of expectation of the participants and of the organizers.

Coaching Course for Entrepreneurs and Managers
In March, through the Păltiniș Leadership Institute we organised a coaching course for entrepreneurs and managers. The focus was on learning how to use coaching to help people on our teams develop, boost their motivation, help them set personal goals, and know how to make a plan to achieve their work targets. This involves having adult-adult (not parent-child) type discussions with their team, the use of open-minded questions that do not suggest a direction, and empowering employees by giving them authority and responsibility to regularly evaluate progress and results.
This course was organized in partnership with Leader Impact, partners of Campus Crusade/Choose Life Association (CRU) in Romania. Our facilitators were Elvis Filote, Alina Filote and Cristina Dragomir, certified trainers with partnering company Synergic.
Thank you for your commitment, your love and empathy, for your unconditional support and trust shown through all this time.
We step into the New Year with our hearts full of gratitude and faith, knowing that God will guide our steps and look over us in everything we do according to His Word.
Thank you for your partnership in witness and action!
