ROMANIA

Romania is an agriculturally rich region that has enjoyed steady progress since overthrowing its communist regime in 1989. Its Black Sea coastlines have become a popular tourism destination while the Carpathian Mountains tower over the west.

Beginning in 1947, Romania became an independent communist state with a highly oppressive regime. The secret police were among the most ruthless and invasive in Eastern Europe. Under communist rule, the Church faced widespread persecution. Christians endured forced labor, torture, exile, and even death. 

In December 1989, a swift and bloody revolution swept through Romania following the government’s attempted ousting of pastor László Tőkés in Timișoara. Protests turned into riots that eventually led to the arrest and execution of President Nicolae Ceaușescu on Christmas Day. 

Since the fall of communism, a significant revival has swept through Romania. The pain endured by so many Christians has set the stage for an amazing new chapter in the Church’s history and you can be a part of it.

Today, there are nearly 6,000 churches established across the country. With Europe’s fourth largest evangelical population, Romania has become a strategic focus for missions agencies who are planting churches in the country’s unchurched villages. Still, 67,000 people remain completely unreached within Romania and countless communities are still without a local church.

Coopers On A Mission

United States

Organized by Troy Cooper


We are the Cooper family: Troy, Rachel, Mayah (16), Malachi (15), Isaiah (13), Tessa (11), Lucy (9), Ezra (5) & Lazarus (3 ) – a family who exists to make Jesus’ Name great among the nations.  While we serve and train in various parts of the world, we are living on mission among the 93% unchurched communities of Southern California.

Cooper Family 2019

We equip local believers to take responsibility for the core missionary task — to make disciples & plant churches (Acts 13-14) — among every people and every place. We are currently laboring locally & globally towards the following benchmarks:

  • California: 500 new churches by 2022
  • North America, Europe & Australia: missionary teams in the top 10 cities by 2023
  • Global Cities: missionary teams in the top 100 cities by 2025

Troy serves as the VP of Global City Strategy & Rachel serves as a Church Planting Mobilizer for e3 Partners/ I Am Second, who has a vision to establish 1 million healthy churches globally by 2025.  We are also part of the global #NoPlaceLeft Coalition of church planters, using the Four Fields strategy.
