The Roma Settlement
Breadgate International also work in the Roma colony in Tinca, a rural village outside of Oradea. The Roma colony is one of the largest in Bihor County, with a few thousand living there. Through Pastor Pola, that PTPI works with, we have, on occasion helped the people living in this colony.
Our work is channeled through Pastor Popa, one of the pastors PTPI work together with. He is well respected and works out all the details and is also familiar with the needs of the people. All the aid is distributed through the Pentecostal Church that is active in the area.

The Roma Pentecostal Church
In the settlement there is also a small evangelical Roma Church pastored by Florin Popa. A Church that plays an important role in these large Roma community, where violence and crime is a large part of everyone’s life. But since the Church was planted much has changed for the better. Crime rate and domestic violence has dropped and things have turned for the better. The Church is a beacon of light in an environment so saturated with violence and crime. The Gospel hold the power to change circumstances whereever it is planted.
