ROMA Boots

ROMA Boots merges fashion with philanthropy to give poverty the boot. Their mission is to bring impoverished children throughout the world hope, love, and lasting change through aid and education. For every pair of boots sold, a new pair is donated to a child in need. ROMA was founded in 2010 by Samuel Bistrian, who wanted to combine his love of fashion and philanthropy to help children in his home country of Romania.

ROMA’s ultimate goal is not only to provide aid, but to educate. By doing so we will empower impoverished children around the world to break out of the cycle of poverty and contribute their gifts and talents to society.

In 2020 ROMA Boots will donate 10,000 pairs of boots to partner ministries in Guatemala and Romania.

The Gathering Place Network

FELLOWSHIP – The church is not a meeting place. The church is made up of people who are motivated to serve others and engage in intimate fellowship by their love for God. Our church body is made up of several Life Groups where small groups of people meet weekly and “do life” together. Whether it’s sharing a meal, studying Scripture, delving into a book, or playing games, these groups function as extended families meeting the needs of each of the members. We share in celebrations and struggles, lift up one another in prayer, and provide accountability and guidance when needed.

MINISTRIES – Our mission is to “lead people to know God.” Through meeting the needs of the people in our community and forming authentic relationships, we hope to have God’s love fully expressed through us. Most of our ministries are started by members in the body seeking the Lord and being obedient to his commands. Each ministry focuses on different people in our local community , in our state, and around our world.

The Gathering Place Network is currently partnering with Another Child in ministry efforts in Romania and Honduras.
