Raul Costea
Role: Pastor
Raul Costea, founder of Hope Church Craiova, is a missionary pastor dedicated to evangelism and church planting in southern Romania. After Bible college and initial local missions, he felt called in 1998, along with his wife Ana, to move to the Oltenia region and serve in a largely unreached area. In 2003, he established a church in Drăgănești-Olt, where he led for 16 years, training leaders and promoting missions. In 2019, he moved to Craiova to plant a new church, continuing his mission to share the hope of Christ.​
