Chaplain, currently serving as a volunteer chaplain for a state agency.

Melinda came to Christ in 1982 and has continued to serve Christ since.

About the Facilitators:

 The Dobrins

Born in a Christian family, being the second of the six children, Gigi’s father had a profound influence on him by his faithfulness to God. For the first Bible of his family, his father paid 60% of his salary and it was not a new one! On January 7, 1972, Gigi decided to interrupt sports activities and dedicate his life to the ministry of Jesus, understanding then that diplomas and medals won by sport are nothing compared to the eternal life offered by God. It was the crucial moment of his life.

In 1977 Gigi graduated from the Technical University of Bucharest and moved to Medias for ministry at Bethel Baptist Church. Between 1980 and 1986, the Bethel Baptist Church recorded a rapid and significant increase, prompting the Communist authorities at that time to start a furious attack on the leadership of the Church and its members. He was interrogated, threatened and accused by the Securitate (Political Police) that if he did not become an active informant for them, he would be arrested and sentenced. Following the persecution, the two pastors of the Church emigrated to the US in March 1986. In this context, the Church began the search for a new Pastor and offered Gigi the position. After two weeks of fasting and prayer with his wife, Lavinia, Gigi gave a positive response to the Church, understanding God’s call very clearly.

Without a university theological training, Gigi began to participate into the BEE (Biblical Education by Extension) courses that were held in hidden places from the eyes of the communist authorities because these activities were forbidden. He often traveled hundreds of miles to get to the meeting places or in the hidden huts in the mountains.

32 years have passed since Gigi  started ministry as a pastor. The Revolution of December 1989 allowed freedom to plant new Churches in all the localities of the Medias area.

After completing the theological courses at the University of Bucharest in 1997,  Gigi successfully completed his Masters in Theology at Queen’s University of Belfast. In the year of 2002, he received the invitation to teach in the only accredited conservative Christian University from Europe, the Emanuel University in Oradea.  He obtained the PhD in Theology at the Babeş-Bolyai University in Cluj Napoca, Romania.

Since 1991, he has been part of the Council of the Baptist Union of Romania, an organization with over 1200 churches. Through the positions of ministry, he has traversed Romania thoroughly.

Along our journey, we have been telling our story to anyone who would hear about our amazing Heavenly Father! He is close to anyone who trusts Him! He gives us the courage and the strength we need to live a life according to His plan and He gives us the power to overcome any obstacle that blocks our way! Mike and I have been affiliated with and have been serving at Glad Tidings Church in Reading, PA, since 1989.

Since the fall of Communism, we felt compelled to take the Gospel of Jesus to the people of Romania. Year after year we took mission teams across Romania, preaching the Gospel and seeing many people saved. After the revolution Romania was lacking ministers, places of worship and leaders to help integrate and disciple new converts. Seeing this great need, we prayed and fasted, waiting on God to show us the next step. When the answer finally came, we left behind our jobs, our three married children, and our grandchildren to answer the call to full-time missions. We returned to Romania with the objective of planting churches, training leaders, and serving in the unreached region of Southeast Romania.  We are excited to now partner with Double Honor Ministries to honor, serve and encourage those who serve in Christian ministry!

About the Facilitators

Debbie and John Prom

John and Debbie have been married for 28 years, and both are children of moms widowed at early ages. They met while attending seminary at Southwestern Assemblies of God College in Waxahachie, TX and dated later in life. God has blessed them with two wonderful children, a beautiful daughter-in-law, and a precocious grand-dog. They served as staff pastors for over twenty-five years in Oklahoma City.  In 2010, the Proms relocated to the Dallas metroplex where they planted a church and now co-pastor a thriving congregation. Debbie’s roots are in Arkansas and John hails from Wisconsin, so the challenge is real!

The Proms have a heart for ministry couples who face the common struggles of pastoring in today’s difficult times and maintaining a healthy Kingdom perspective to life and ministry.  Double Honor Ministries is so grateful for leaders such as Debbie and John Prom who serve willingly and lead our pastor retreats which share encouragement and respite with Christian leaders.
