I attended a conference in Greece in July of this year. At that conference I met a married couple named Brent and Renea Liebe. Invitations to come and work with missionaries who are already serving in other nations are relatively common. Once my time of service in Albania comes to an end I will need another assignment. Eastern Europe could easily make use of ten times as many missionaries as are currently fielded here. Brent Liebe has been the only missionary to approach me about helping out in ways specific to my strengths.
He is planning to begin a trade school to train young men who have graduated from Christian, drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Romania. The training would give these men legal, marketable skills that are both practical and in demand in the local economy. The overall intent of the program would be to offer men who clearly have the desire to change their lives, the tools to succeed. Brent is currently in the beginning phases of seeing through his ministerial vision and I am here to get a feel for things.
Bucharest is a city of 1,700,000 people. Romania is a nation of 22,000,000 people. There are 200 beds available to substance abuse victims through Christian organizations in the nation of Romania. By the grace of God, the Liebe’s will help in providing for those people a chance at a better life in Christ Jesus. By the grace of God we will all play a part in that healing.
