It is not uncommon to hear about starving children in Africa and how we need to take a mission trip there to spread the gospel and meet their needs. BUT there are people EVERYWHERE that need JESUS! Now don’t get me wrong there is great need in Africa and I myself am going there to serve in a few months. But, God has really impressed upon my heart this month the great need in Romania and in the continent of Europe.
The need for long and short term missionaries is HUGE! 95% of north Romania is unreached and 98% of South Romania is unreached. People here are hungry for the gospel. They are looking for something more. They need Jesus and they need someone to come here and share the truth. They need someone to disciple them and continue to pour truth into their lives. Our ministry host Raul has spent the month telling us about and allowing us to pray for people to fill the many roles that exist here. There are a variety of ministries in place that need someone to take them on and partner with them. There is a need for people to come to Romania and the surrounding countries to work as full time missionaries, short term missionaries, and partner with them prayerfully and financially.
Curious yet?? If you would like more information about any of the ministry opportunities that exist here is what you need to do:
1. Visit this website http://www.hoperomania.org/
2. Click on the Get Involved and then pray about whether the Lord would have you come here as either a long or short term missionary. However long you can come God will use that period of time to build His kingdom. But I challenge you to pray and earnestly seek what God has for you. It might just change your life!
3. Contact Hope Church and talk to them about your options and how you can help.
4. Once you have decided on a project, don’t change your mind. Do it! God has already called you in the great commission to preach his gospel to all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost!
5. Watch the Lord work and enjoy the journey. The Lord is going to accomplish great thing THROUGH you! It’s so important to remember that we are just vessels. We are the hands and feet that deliver His love. He is the source!
6. Be prepared to fund raise and say goodbye to worldly comforts for a while, maybe for an extended amount of time. It’s gets easier the longer you are away!
7. Share you story with others so more people see and hear the call for missions to Romania and other European countries!
8. Check out this awesome Media Kit that our squadmate put together yesterday! It’s a pdf version of all the opportunities and contacts that you will need:
