Welcome to our mission!

Founders of Tanner Romania Mission, Sandie and Bruce Tanner lived their lives much like the rest of us. They previously lived in the U.S.A, had raised children of their own, studied and worked to make their way through life. There was one significant difference in that they believed in and followed the teachings of Christ.

Bruce and Sandie didn't know at this stage where they were heading but their faith and love for Christ made the mission become reality.
Upon seeing 'Shame of a Nation' they knew immediately where they should be and made plans to put their faith into action.

Since 1991, Sandie and Bruce have lived in Nicoresti, Romania, dedicating the rest of their own lives to the work here.

Nicoresti, a small farming community is home to Sf. Anton spital where disabled children have been abandoned and left in the care of the State. It was here that Bruce and Sandie began their labor of love, cleaning, feeding and clothing these orphaned children.

It soon became apparent however that there was too much beyond their control in this environment. If they were going to be able to make a difference in the lives of these children they would have to get them out of the spital - but where?

Funds were raised and in 1993, the foundation was brought to life with Casa Elisabeta becoming the first Tanner Romania Mission group home.
One by one the children were removed from the spital and taken into care by Sandie and Bruce. The children came with nothing and were given everything - a home to call their own for their lifetime.

Quickly the foundation grew and is now a family of 33 children and young adults that live within 5 homes established by Tanner Romania Mission.

The work that has been done here, the achievements of Tanner Romania Mission and the children cared for within this foundation are a testament to Bruce and Sandies' faith and commitment to God.
