Romania Southern Youth Ministry (Alecs Tudoroiu)

I grew up in an Orthodox family, so I didn't have a chance to go too much to church—just time-to-time. When my parents divorced, I was adopted by a Christian family because both of my parents married again, and their partners didn't accept me. My mom was even thinking about sending me to orphanage. But the pastor who started the mission in the town took me into his family, and from that day, I started to feel loved and encouraged, and also to see what it meant to be part of from a Christian family. But I didn't give my life to Christ at that time.

For many years I was living my life without Jesus until one night when I became so scared that if I were to die, I would spend my eternity without Jesus. I decided to give my life to Christ.

I finished high school and had many jobs after that. I was thinking about getting married and having a family, but I wanted to go to another country to work because our town it is very small, making it difficult to find a job. I didn't want to leave my church, but also I wanted to get married and become the responsible man in the house, so I was praying that God would give me an answer, and He gave it to me. He responded very clearly, encouraging not to be worried about my life—where I will stay and what I will eat. Since that day, I have not worried about the ministry God has called me to. I have decided to walk in faith, trusting God to provide everything I need.
