Daniela Tudor is a life coach for high school and university students and young people from a Muslim background in Romania.
When did you trust Christ?
On 4 July1999, I made a profession of faith in Christ as a result of taking a correspondence course through AMEC- Asociaţia Misionară pentru Educarea Copiilor/Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF).
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
As a young child, I often talked with my mum about faith. I listened to Christian music, sang hymns with my family, and was very impressed by my grandma praying and reading her Bible. I became an assistant Sunday school teacher in 8th grade, and my Sunday school teachers' mission trip to Kenya focused my attention on other nations. At 17 I was baptised and became more interested in transcultural missions after joining AMI, a missionary group in Bucharest. In 2013, I went to Namibia with YWAM to help build huts for the Sun tribe people and teach private school 3rd graders English and mathematics. In 2018, I did fundraising for Habitat for Humanity România and spent a week building houses in Constanta, Romania. From 2020-2022, as a volunteer with ISB (International Students Bucharest), I taught students Romanian and helped them adapt to the culture.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I want clarity, wisdom, encouragement, and guidance for my ministry. I know God has called me to be a missionary and to minister in Africa, but I am waiting for the right timing. I would like to be better equipped with tools, ideas, and a broader network, to serve the Lord more boldly and spread His Kingdom, for His glory. I am confident God will speak to me.
What is your ministry?
I am a Sunday school teacher assistant for 7 and 8 year olds with Selah - Tea, Cake & Truth. I am a translator in the Bunavestire church for foreigners (mostly young people) who attend. Outside the church, I do life coaching for university and high school students, and young people from a Muslim background whom God is sending to me regularly.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I was a Sunday school team leader for two years. I did training for all new employees for 5 years in the company for which I worked. In our church, I was a leader of a new team in our teenagers ministry. For one year, I was responsible for planning, communications, and administration of monthly meetings.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
When I was at DTS (Discipleship Training School), God led me to give to a missions team leaving the next day for Africa. It was the exact amount they needed for their trip. My ministry is like a mustard seed that God will grow and use to feed many people in their spiritual lives. I am praying God will provide the needed resources.
