Petrica Aghiorghiesei is the National Director of Ambassadors for Christ Romania.
When did you trust Christ?
While at a Christian camp when I was 16, the days were rainy, so the teachers shared all the lessons and Gospel presentations they knew. I understood I was a sinner and, like Zacchaeus, needed to invite Christ into my life as Lord and Savior with faith and repentance.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
I was discipled at an early age by a minster and began preaching at age 18 in villages without any church. God opened my eyes to understand my calling to serve in His great harvest.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I hope to receive courage and inspiration about how God is working in and through other leaders and to find creative ideas that will help accelerate the spread of the Gospel in Romania.
What is your ministry?
I am the National Director of Ambassadors for Christ Romania. We focus on discipling the next generation of church leaders while reaching out to some of society's most vulnerable, including Gypsy and homeless communities. This involves working with those who are often overlooked, including children living in landfills and garbage dumps, as well as those in small, poor villages. The team also takes mission trips to Moldova and Ukraine to minister to Romanian churches that serve the Romanian people living there.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I have served as a discipleship group leader and have more than 20 years of ministry experience, including being a missionary, a youth pastor in a Baptist church, and the National Director of Ambassadors for Christ Romania for the past several years.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I have committed my life full-time to God's Kingdom, and my passion is to equip the next generation of leaders for Christ’s church. The workers for the harvest are few, and my goal is to train present and future workers. Everyone wins when a leader improves and is encouraged.
