About us

Agape Board Members ( Ryan, Wayne, Don, Ken)

In March of 2006 Wayne and Kim Harrison traveled to Romania for the first time. They felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to reach out to Orphans in Eastern Europe. Not knowing anything about Romania, they contacted Missionaries in Romania and made arrangements to come and visit and see what the Lord was leading them to do. They spent two weeks with an organization in Western Romania called Romanian Orphan Ministries. Their President, Corey Burba and the staff showed Wayne and Kim all of the different facets of their Ministry to orphans. They learned about child abandonment, poverty, and many other problems that lead to children and youth being institutionalized. They saw a great need and felt led to continue their involvement in the lives of these precious orphans.

Timon Association Board Members ( Daniel, Wayne, Nicu )

After several more trips to Romania in October of 2006 and March of 2007, the Holy Spirit led Wayne and Kim to start a non-profit in the Eastern part of Romania called Moldova in the city of Iasi (Pronounced Yash). Agape Orphan Ministries was officially started in June of 2007 and our non-profit in Romania was also set up at the same time. It is now called Timon Association. We began primarily working in one institution in the city but we have expanded our work over the past few years and now work in two different counties in three institutions. We recently received our Accreditation by the Government which allows us more freedom and access to the children and youth in State care. Agape is funded primarily through caring individuals and we also have a long term partnership with First Baptist Church Clarksville, T.N. All of our work in Romania is carried out by our dedicated Romanian staff and many caring Christians and individuals in Iasi. We believe in working through the local church here and in Romania.
