Jeremy Befort

By God's grace, I spent 17 blessed years (2004 - 2021) serving as a missionary to Romania with FGCI, including 12 years (2004 - 2016) living in Romania.  During that time, God opened many doors of ministry as we worked together to share Christ with hundreds of institutionalized and at-risk kids.  While living in Romania for 12 years, I became fluent in the Romanian language.

In 2021, I felt God calling me to start a new ministry focused solely on providing long-term one-on-one discipling, mentoring and lay counseling to Romanian young adults.  I especially felt a strong burden for the hundreds of young adults I know who have left the state-run orphanages and are struggling to transition into adult life, as well as the marginalized Roma (Gypsy) population.  Listening to this calling, I joined New International in June of 2021 to begin this new ministry.

I now work with local Romanian friends to reach over 300 young adults.  Since the young adults are scattered throughout Romania and Europe and often move as they search for work and housing, a good portion of this ministry occurs online. Reaching them online allows us to follow them wherever they go, ensuring long-term and consistent discipling and mentoring.

My phone is always on from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CDT, ready to receive calls or text messages from the young adults.  Since Romania is 8 hours ahead, this means I am available from 3:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. their time, which works well for them since they often get off work in the afternoon and are free to talk.  Every week, I try to connect with up to 75 young adults from my list of over 300. 

By partnering with local Romanian believers, I do my best to connect the young adults to believers in their area.  I also travel to Romania to meet with around 70 young adults and Romanian volunteers on each trip.
