ROMANIA: Healing the Wounds of Trauma
Romania is overwhelmed by trauma, and people need to talk about it.
After the communist regime fell, emotional help for victims of trauma was not accessible. Today, social services in the country have developed, but finding healing for trauma is still very difficult.
Romanian culture does not like to discuss problems, and many people choose to live with intense emotional pain rather than deal with them. They yearn for healing and freedom but live overwhelmed, helpless, and unable to process terrible events.
With the help of God’s Word, victims of trauma are able to confront their suffering with courage, find acceptance in God’s love, and grow into a meaningful life. To help bring Romania freedom from trauma, the Bible Society launched a program to give those trapped by the past a new chance at life through Jesus Christ.
