Vocational Witness in the Romanian Workplace: Realities and Responsibilities

Abstract

Romanian evangelical Christians face several challenges on the job, most notably from the majority of coworkers who often do not share their vibrant faith. Pressure may come from bosses, coworkers, clients, or even the competitive nature of their profession. Using qualitative data based on personal testimony from seven Romanians, this article examines how Romanian evangelical business people understand the missional task. Three significant themes that arise from the data are discussed through a biblical and cultural lens. The article concludes with further suggestions for church leaders concerning how to disciple their people to be effective witnesses at work.
