Florenta & Mark Hamilton
Mark & Florenta Hamilton are long-standing friends of Clive & Ann. Florenta, born in Romania, helped with the first Barnabas missions to Romania in 2003 and the friendship with Mark, from America, was extended when the two got married and started their ministry together in Romania.
Florenta & Mark have a ministry to the children and youth in Romania. They run weekly clubs in two locations in their home town of Codlea, near Brasov which are attended regularly by about 60 children. They also run summer camps and 69 children attended the 2023 camp. Children learn about the love of Jesus through teaching, singing, crafts and fun games.
Florenta also does a lot of tutoring in maths, Romanian and English. They meet at least 3 days a week with 6-7 children from Primary School and 7-8 older children weekly, even during the summer holidays. Mark helps the children by fixing their bikes.
Plans for the future include a computer school and a weekly Bible study. Some of the older children from the clubs are interested in learning more about the Bible and some are in need of discipleship.
