Cemetary

Magda’s mom was hit by a car as she was preparing to cross the street – she later died of her injuries. As the family was making funeral arrangements, they discovered that they had to find a cemetery that would allow Magna’s mom to be buried. In Romania when someone dies they are buried in the cemetery that is “owned” by the religion they were affiliated with. Magda’s mom had not attended the Orthodox Church in years. She had been a faithful attendee of the Church of the Nazarene in Sighisoara (a small town 5 hours north of Bucharest). The family ultimately had to pay “back tithes” to the Orthodox Church in order to have a place to bury their mom. Our church leaders who live in Sighisoara are looking into purchasing land for a cemetery for the members of the Church of the Nazarene. We praise God for the work of Dorothy and Roberta.
