“Believing that the youth generation is not only the future of our society but also the present”
Liviu has been investing in the young generation for many years. Perspective Danes combines his experience and skills as a youth pastor from Manna Church with the social worker abilities he acquired through the Veritas organisation.
With the support of his wife, Elena, and her experience as a teacher, Liviu has built a team that focuses on and take necessary actions to respond to communities’ material, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs.
Liviu and Elena have three children, Claudia, Thomas, and Matthias.
Danes is a village right in the heart of Transylvania. The population is approximately 5,000 people, 1000 are part of the Roma Community. The majority of these people are living hard lives.
Many do not have a permanent job. A big feature of the children of these families is that they leave school very early, poverty being one of the reasons for this.
Young people are tempted by the illusion of working abroad; in this was they end up doing things that make them vulnerable to becoming criminals.
The impact of Perspective Daneș is growing, and children, teenagers, families, and elderly people are being supported not only through hot meals and homework help, but also through many opportunities to hear the Good News of God’s love.
At the moment, besides the Day Center for children from Roma and vulnerable communities, we officially run an Elderly Support Program. Twice a week, elderly people come to receive a warm cooked lunch, and some who have mobility limitations receive meals delivered to their homes. The Widows Support Group is also doing very well, offering a positive and encouraging environment where women can build meaningful relationships and support one another.
The younger generation involved in our after-school activities and youth ministry is growing in understanding their value in God. The educational progress we already see is making a significant difference compared to life before 
joining the programs. Young people are graduating from vocational schools, obtaining driving licenses, and building a more stable future. These are important steps that help reduce vulnerability to poverty for them and their families.
Our team has also grown. At this moment, we have 7 paid employees and 3 full-time volunteers. In addition, many young people help regularly, alongside local school leaders and other community members who generously give their time to support our work.
Hosting mission teams and both short-term and long-term international volunteers continues to be a meaningful way to serve and connect with our community.
