Evangelism
We redeemed the days of March 1st and 8th for the Gospel. On March 1st, I helped a young man from our church with evangelism by preparing 35 tulips with Bible verses for his classmates and teachers. Together with the team in the picture, we handed out over 90 flowers on the street, each containing a verse and the contact details of Hope Church.
Together with a sister, I wrote March 8th letters, sharing the message of the Gospel with women in Craiova.
I also began dedicating two hours each week to âWaffle Wednesdayâ (where we offer free waffles to high school and university students in Craiova). The goal is to build relationships with them with the intention of sharing the Gospel.
One-on-One Discipleship
I have been actively investing in discipleship through Bible study with five individuals. I can see how God is working in their lives and transforming them through His Word.
With Laura, from Craiova, we completed a study of the Book of Ruthâa message of restoration. At our first meeting, she told me she wanted to become a new creation. Before our second meeting, I asked her what her greatest need was. After initially giving an answer related to personal development, she changed her mind and said, âI need Christ.â After our second meeting, she shared a testimony in front of the church, with the message: âGod has made me a new creation, and I now live differently.â

Evangelism
Craiova Easter Market gathered over 100,000 visitors. We invited young people to a cultural exchange on the topic of Easter, and through our conversations we were able to proclaim the Savior: why do we celebrate His death and resurrection? Glory to the Lord! In the midst of the âFairy Tale Festival,â 24 souls in the park heard about salvation through Christ.Â
On Easter, I joined a team and visited the nursing home in the Popoveni neighborhood, in Craiova. We shared the Gospel through songs and letters with 24 elderly women who are cared for there. We pray that the seeds planted will bear fruit!

Romanian for International Students in Craiova
I am a student at the University of Craiova. An intercultural project brings together 150 students from 30 nations. I started a free Romanian language course at Hope Church. God gives me the opportunity to build relationships with foreigners in Craiova, so that they can connect with members of the church and hear about Christ. Fellow students and volunteers from Kenya, India, Cambodia, Algeria, and France have enrolled in my course. A Muslim student from Algeria has already attended church and a volunteer from India came to the Jesus movie.
