Embark on a wild journey down the path less traveled through the cobblestone streets and sunflower fields of Romania. At the heart of Eastern Europe, many in this nation still live with the fear that came from its communist past. Alongside Hope Church, one of our ministry partners, you can reach this country with the hope that Jesus brings!

There are over 30,000 college students in Craiova, and you’ll spend your days building meaningful relationships with them. As you share your life with them, they will see Jesus in you. You’ll be able to connect people interested in knowing about who Jesus is with Hope Church for mentorship and community. Through partnering with local churches, you’ll minister to youth groups, join in worship, and share testimonies of what God is doing. You’ll get the opportunity to empower college students to reach the rest of the Balkans for years to come, and you may even travel to other countries in the region to help with short-term projects!
