Working with Global Church Movement
CRU Romania
Dear friends,
It’s our joy and privilege to introduce ourselves to you.
We are Romica and Adina Tila, we are married for 25 years and we have two kids: 20 years old and 13 years old. We've been working with CRU Romania, since 2000. Each of us heard the Gospel, during our student life through CRU.
I, Romica, came to the university with different thoughts, but I didn't get to know God. My goal was to make a career out of being an influential person, have fun, and seek fulfillment in all that life has to offer. But from the beginning of college, a student who was working with CRU came to me and told me how I could have a personal relationship with God. I understood who Jesus is and received Him into my heart as Lord and Savior. Since then, my life has changed and turned in the right direction.
Adina- my greatest dream was to become a good student and to know a lot of things, thinking that they will make me more special than the others around me. Thus, I started to read much philosophy, psychology, and oriental religions and for a short time, I practiced yoga. I did this thing hoping I would find the inner fulfillment that I needed so. But, all of these led me into a strong depression. During this very hard time when life seemed senseless, two girls from “CRU ” come into my room and told me about Jesus Christ and how He can change my life. I let Him into my heart as Lord and Saviour and since then everything has been different. He brought joy to my face, peace to my heart, and my life started to have a new sense and fulfillment.
Both of us, after we have known God, we noticed that the people around us feel the same need for God. Thus, even during our student life, we started to go and share the Good News with other students. After graduation, we understood that God called us to keep on sharing this Good News, but this time as staff full-time within the mission "CRU ". Giving up the jobs for which we have prepared all those years and adopting a new style of life, created opposition and pressure from our parents and relatives who could not understand what was going on. All those things did not discourage us but made us stronger in faith and in what Jesus has called us to do.
With love and appreciation,
Romica and Adina
