Tell us a little bit about who you are!
We’re Jeff and Lauren Cardell and we desire to encourage and equip people to live out the gospel practically in every part of life, specifically within their work.

How you pursue God’s renewal of our world?
We serve alongside Credința la muncă, a Romanian faith and work initiative we helped establish to create space for conversations and resources around God’s view of work, to encourage others to see their work as part of God’s work, and to seek the common good in the contexts in which God has placed them. 

How can we support you and engage with your mission?
We love hearing and sharing stories between Reality LA and Romania about how God is at work in your work and lives. Prayer support is crucial!

How do you hope this partnership will shape our church?
We love to pray with and walk alongside people who are seeking to make disciples in their everyday lives and asking how to seek human flourishing through their work. We pray your church will be rooted in your community and see wherever you’re placed—in your workplace, in your neighborhood, and in your family or friends—as your sphere of influence to share Christ’s love and renewal.

How can we pray for you?
Please pray for the people of Romania: that more will come to know Christ and his sacrifice, and that those who believe will continue to grow in their relationship with the Lord. Pray for the church here to be fully rooted, centered, changed, and empowered by the gospel. Also, please pray for partnerships across church and denominational lines in order to see disciples who make disciples in Romania. We ask that God continues to grow the team and the work of Credința la muncă and that more people will see all fields of work as part of God’s work in Europe. And lastly: please pray for us! Our marriage and mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness as we seek to serve God from his strength and not our own.

How can we contact you?
You can contact Jeff and Lauren and sign up to receive their monthly prayer newsletter by emailing thecardells@gmail.com and you can partner financially with Jeff and Lauren and their ministry in Romania through their sending organization, Greater Europe Mission.
