Newsflash
Welcome to the Christian Response website.  The object of this site is to provide you with useful information about our work in the hope that it will help you understand what we do and why we do it.

A very brief history. The roots of Christian Response go back to 1990.  You may well remember the hideous images of the orphanages in Romania.  It was in 1990 that Gary Taverner had a vision to help in these orphanages and from there everything snowballed.

Over the years, the situation in Romania improved therefore we began to expand activities. Missions were made to Albania and some of the areas devastated by the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl.  Whilst working in Romania we were to hear reports about the neighbouring country of Moldova and how appalling levels of poverty abound there. One fleeting visit and Moldova was taken into our hearts.

Whilst maintaining our interest in Romania by far the majority of effort is now concentrated on the country of Moldova. It is Europe’s poorest country and the situation out there is really dreadful. You can read more about this under the section headed “Moldova, the country”. 

All who work for the charity “Christian Response” are volunteers, no-one is paid. We have no offices or other rented premises.  We borrow all we can, rather than renting or hiring, all this means the money saved can be spent on those we seek to help in Eastern Europe.

If you are interested in our work please read some of the past newsletters and look at all the other information you can find on this website, the tabs for which are on the left.
