From May 16-25, 2008, Fuel is sending 125 college students/young adults to reach out to the Gypsy population of Romania. Believing God's heart beats strongly for the least of these, the Gypsies are outcasts in whatever country they are located. Specifically in Romania, they find themselves not even included in the country's population. From working with orphaned children to food distribution, as well as coordinating Vacation Bible Schools and athletic camps - Fuel hopes to shine the light of Jesus to a group of neglected people.

The overall financial mark Fuel needs to raise to send the 125 to Romania is just a shade under $200,000.  We are praying and believing God will meet that need through various fundraisers and hopefully generous givers.  In addition to raising the amount needed to send the team, we hope to raise enough funds to build a playground inside one the Gypsy villages.

If you would like to help in the 2008 Romania Missions dream, you can either email us at fuel242@gmail.com.  Or, checks made out to "Eastview Christian Church" with "Romania" in the memo line can be sent to Eastview Christian Church, c/o Fuel, 1500 N. Airport Road in Normal, IL 61761.

More information will continue to be added to the site as the trip dates approach.  In the mean time, please partner with us in prayer not only for the trip and funds, but also for the Gypsy population.  May they hear, feel and see the love of Jesus!
