Samuel Mitrofan is the vice president of Europe for Evangelism Explosion in Romania.

When did you trust Christ?

I met Jesus as a young boy. I grew up in a Christian home. My parents, who were believers, took me to church every week. I heard the sermon one week and decided to give my life to Christ.

What do you hope to gain from participating?

I want to encounter new ideas and strategies for evangelism, mentoring, and training. I want to meet new believers from my context and those working in similar ministries in other countries. I want to form new partnerships. The Forum is an excellent opportunity to see a wonderful piece of Heaven. Good fellowship and meaningful relationships are plentiful here. I am so grateful for your help. ELF helped me to communicate better, focus more on discipleship, and look for people with a godly character in the ministry.

What is your ministry?

Evangelism Explosion is a ministry that trains people to share their faith in Christ boldly, lovingly, and naturally. It utilises various components, including prayer, on-the-job training where the experienced lead the inexperienced, and the principle of spiritual multiplication. ‘Multiplication’ is not just winning people to the Lord one by one (addition) but training those who won to the Lord to win—and then train—others. In the Book of Acts, we read that the disciples ‘multiplied’ and ‘multiplied exceedingly’. This shift from addition to spiritual multiplication offers the one real hope of sharing the Gospel with a world population that is continually multiplying. Evangelism Explosion is currently in 214 nations that work alongside one another to equip Christians and congregations worldwide. Discipleship is happening!

What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?

I was previously the European Director for Capital Ministries. I was also a consultant for the Romanian Parliament.

Why should someone invest in your ministry?

Evangelism is essential, but most Christians don’t know how to engage nonbelievers with the Gospel. So, we want to train churches to train Christians in evangelism.
