As with most InnerChange ministries, the goal is relationship! In Romania there are currently a couple venues for building relationships: Steps of Hope and a small neighborhood church. Steps of Hope is a tutoring & mentoring program for junior high & high school students, with opportunities to be involved with English, sports, art, or other areas of knowledge. “Crossroads Church” is reaching out relationally within our poor neighborhood, so time will be spent both with church members and young people from the neighborhood.
Some of the greatest needs here are emotional, and one new area which is being focused on is prayer – both with and for others.
Participating in team life, spiritual formation, and learning both the culture and the language will be the main focus for the first year.
Requirements:
- spiritual maturity
flexibility
willing to spend time learning Romanian
enjoyment of people, especially youth

Comunidad San Dimas in San Francisco is a ministry of tough love. We seek out gangbangers, addicts & dealers and invite them into community by offering them true identity and freedom in Christ. For many of our neighbors, being stuck between two worlds is a harsh reality. We take to heart God’s call to love the prisoner, the immigrant, & the alien, making them welcome.
The San Dimas team spends a lot of time in juvenile hall, in Casa San Dimas (our transitional house), & just hanging out over food. We provide support for the dedicated CSD community based volunteers & we network between many different churches & faith groups (including the San Francisco Organizing Project). We jump on leadership potential and involve former gang members and crack dealers in Bible studies, English lessons, homework tutoring, and job-hunting. We’re also passionate about ecumenism (inter-denominational ministry) and overcoming differences within the community in order to strengthen the Body of Christ.
