The Risners in Romania
Meet Bryan and Pam Risner! They have three children: Melody, Lindsey, and Landon. All three kids are in college. They lived in Morrilton, Arkansas for the a time and they are members of Calvary Baptist Church.
Bryan is the BMA Missionary to Romania. The Risner family moved to Santandrei, Romania in July of 2018. Their mission is to work with the local Romanian and Roma families.
Their ministry consists of after school programs, small group Bible study programs, and discipleship programs to the local Roma & Romanian population. These programs have led to the planting of churches.
They ask that you join them in prayer for their daily needs as well as the ministry decisions that are being made. If you would like to be a part of their financial support team you may visit their website at www.risnersinromania.com and click on the "donate" button for a link to the electronic giving page.

**********************
Our family made a move in January 2023 to the Oradea area, specifically to the village of Santandrei. We have joined with the Bagosi and Toma families in the planting of a new church, Biserica Agape.
Our church meets weekly in our new location for Sunday services. In addition, we have weekly discipleship courses and weekly new believers’
classes. We also have twice-a-month youth meetings, weekly alternating Bible studies for our ladies and men, and monthly Bible studies with special emphasis depending on the needs of our church family.
God is moving in the hearts of our friends. We are excited to see God’s plans unfold before us.
Prayer Requests:
- Gospel conversation seeds from this past year to bring individuals to Christ & Biserica Agape
- Growth of Biserica Agape and complete commitment of our visitors
- Biserica Agape to be financially independent in one year
- Peace for Ukraine and safety for our friends in Ukraine
- Generous and faithful givers to support us and our work in Romania
Praises:
- Fruitful summer 2023: three teams, two interns, one church camp with 13 salvations, and then moved our kids to college at CBC
- Commercial building for Agape Church
- Faithful supporting churches and individuals

The Need for Missions
There are several areas where the Gospel has not been preached. Learn about and pray for those unreached people groups. Maybe God is calling you to reach them with the Gospel,
