Hello friends of the internet! I wanted to spend some time today to write a blog and talk a little bit about the countries we will be going to and how you can be praying for me and these countries during these next 11 months!
First of all, if you’ve been praying, THANK YOU. If you are going to be praying, THANK YOU! Ephesians 6:18 states: “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
The first country that we will be going to is Romania! Well, I have never been to Romania before, nor am I the greatest at the history or geography of most countries…so I did some research online to find all of us some helpful information lol!
Romania is a country in the heart of Eastern Europe. It has a population of around 19 million people. This country has many Romanians who are familiar with the Orthodox Church and also Roma people who are among the least reached in the country. People in Romania struggle with substance abuse, prostitution, human trafficking, and abuse of children. Corruption has led to economic instability and widespread unemployment. Romania is one of the world’s most Christian nations by percentage, but it is difficult to see this in society. Weak faith, hypocrisy, and slander of other denominations cause problems for all Christian groups which does not glorify Christ or build up the church. Churches neglect many poor people. Pray for a breakthrough of love, holiness, discipleship, and prayer! Also pray for leadership that has wisdom to follow the right path, and integrity to establish the right policies. Pray for our group to have countless opportunities to help, serve, love and encourage the people of this nation!
Here is a list of the following 10 countries we will be going to after Romania (this is subject to change):
– Albania
– Kosovo
– Jordan
– Georgia
– Armenia
– Turkey
– Kyrgyzstan
– Uzbekistan
– India
– Nepal
I am inserting below a picture that was posted this past weekend at Passion 2022 by Pastor David Platt.
Green: These areas are the most reached (here there is the most ACCESS to learning about the gospel and the most access to meeting physical needs -> medical care, food, water, etc.).
Yellow: These areas are less reached than green.
Orange: These areas are less reached than yellow.
Red: These areas are less reached than orange.
Dark Red: These areas are the least reached (here there is the least ACCESS to learning about the gospel and the least access to meeting physical needs -> medical care, food, water, etc.).
All of the countries we will be going to are in the yellow, orange, red or dark red areas. These countries are all in various levels of physical and spiritual need. And they need your prayers!!!
If you are interested in praying for these countries, I have loved this website… it’s awesome! It gives you information about each country including their location, statistics, and how to pray for each individual country!

I thank you for investing in what God’s going to do in each of these countries and through each and every person on my team this year! Stay tuned for stories from on the field as we get ready to launch in about a week! 🙂
