My name is Andrei Cojocariu. At the age of 16, I discovered and accepted God as the Lord and Savior of my life, the answer to my existential questions.

At 18, like any high school student, I asked myself, “What should I do with my life?” My first instinct was to choose a career path based on my passions at the time. Fascinated by weapons and airplanes, I decided to prepare for a career in the air force. However, this decision brought me profound unease.

One evening, while I was training and feeling that this path was not the right one for me, I came before the Lord with an honest prayer. I asked Him to clearly show me what He wanted me to do with my life. That’s exactly what He did. Five minutes later, through a person I didn’t have a close relationship with, God answered me. Out of nowhere, they asked, “Hey, Andrei, have you ever thought about becoming a missionary?”

At 19, motivated by the confirmation I received from God, I decided to join the Equipped to Equip program, an essential step in my preparation as a missionary. With a clear vision and full of passion, I launched an ambitious project: evangelizing 1,000 people over six months.
