Jake and Jessie Stimpson :: Missionaries to Romania ::

THE MISSION:Preach the Gospel,make disciples,raise up leaders,and establish churchesuntil the whole Earth is filledwith the glory of the Lord!

The Challenge

A nation of roughly 22 million, Romania is the poorest and least-developed nation in the European Union, due to years of Communist oppression, but at the same time, there is a growing hunger to see God move in the nation.

Our plan is to base in Bucharest, a city of 3 million and the economic, cultural, and political center of Romania.

The Need:230,000 impoverished Gypsies96% Romanian OrthodoxAn estimated 0.07% evangelical Christians (2,100 people)Four times as many Muslims as Christians

The Potential:35 colleges and universitiesEconomic and cultural center of RomaniaHuge population of English-speakers

The Challenge: the city

Statistics from Open Society Institute's Survey into Religiosity in Romania

From Bucharest, our goal is to disciple and train up pastors and church-planters to reach the cities of Romania.

43% have no access to safe water$3,900 - average annual income25% live below poverty level535,140 are marginalized Gypsies (2nd highest in the world)37% of pregnancies end in abortion (US is 22%)Half the nation survives on subsistence farming

The Challenge: the nation

Statistics from US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Eurostat, World Vision, Abortion Incidence and Access to Services in the United States, and Historical Abortion Statistics: Romania

Ultimately, our goal is to see pastors, church-planters, missionaries, and evangelists launched from Romania to the ends of the world.

One of the most exciting things about Romania is that it is uniquely situated to reach the Eastern Hemisphere!

The Challenge: the world
