Transcript for Samuel Goia:

I used to paint cars, and actually I really like to paint the red cars, but then God had a different plan for me and for my life. Hello, I’m Pastor Samuel Goya from Romania. I pastor a church in the village around city Cluj, the main city, and really God intervened in my life.

I had a different plan, but then God spoke to me that I have to become a pastor. So, then I started the theological school, and then during this education, being at university, I started, I planted a church where we have a lot of kids, and I see their need also for education. So, we started different programs, different programs with education, but also, we want to give them Jesus and education, and alongside with this kid, their family are coming to the church, and we invest in the kids during the week.

We stay with them, we help them with their homework, and then every Sunday we have worship service and the people are coming, and right now also the men are starting to come, because until now only women come, and I really see that some of these kids, if we are helping them with their education, and then God can place, like He did with my life, He can place a call on their life to do something greater than they even see right now. Because for me, personally, the education enlarged my vision, and I can see different now, I can see larger, I can see that I can go further, that I could go without this education, and without someone investing in me, and I really am thankful for everyone that invested in me, I’m thankful for people who gave money for my education, because I didn’t have enough to pay for everything, and that’s why I really like to ask of you, and any of you who got placed on your heart, to give generously for education programs, because this is how lives are changed, this is how God can really use these people, and educated people, to go and speak to people, to different people, educated and uneducated, but they can help, and we can enlarge the Kingdom of God, and I really pray that hearing this, God can put something on your heart, and you know, if we obey God, this is the best place where we can be, and give generously so that other people can have education.
