Romanian
Children’s Relief was founded in 1993 by me, Jacqueline Ramsey, after a short term mission trip to Arad, Romania. With that first visit began a journey that may consume the remainder of
my earthly days.
Before
moving to Romania, I was involved in different
areas of aerospace electronics, holding responsible positions in several companies over the years. My place, I assumed, was to support the church body at home and help send out others. In July of 1993 my pastors invited me to come along on their trip to Arad,
Romania. I returned
to Arad in October to clarify the vision God had given me
in July. Over the next four years, I would return often. Finally, in the summer of 1997 I moved to Romania
permanently. My vision statement, written during my second trip to Romania
in 1993, was that God would use me to take Romania
from a land of poverty and oppression to a land of prosperity and joy.
