Craiova

Special Project for Such a Time as This​

​serving our community


​During this coronavirus crisis, we have prayed about ways that we can serve our community. There are people who are in isolation in villages and towns around Craiova that need groceries and encouragement. We have already begun doing this as you can see in our video .
​If you would like to partner with us and financially support this project, click the link below.

About  ministry


Raul Costea, the coordinator of Hope Church Ministry, started focusing his attention to Craiova at the beginning of 2018. That year, he started building a team for church planting in Craiova and assisting existing churches in Dolj county. This city has over 300,000 people and more than 30,000 students. Some of them are foreigners from different Middle East countries. This is the new frontier for Hope Church Ministry.
Our vision is to bring the hope of Christ to Craiova through a church plant and mission base in the city.
We want to show compassion and engage with the non-believers here so that we can lead them to knowing God and His Word.
​WE DO THIS BY FULFILLING THEIR PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS THROUGH THESE   DIFFERENT MINISTRIES: 
  • Church planting among Romanians
  • Church planting among Roma population
  • English Club
  • Evangelism
  • Children’s ministry​
  • Intercultural events
  • Youth and sports ministry
  • Women’s ministry
  •  Art Ministry
  • Christian Literature Distribution 
  • ​Discipleship
