The Mogos Family

Ben, Anda, and their children, David and Emma

Location: Bucharest, Romania

Missionary Agency: Global Outreach International

Ben’s ministry is focused on church planting, leadership development, and Bible college teaching, while Anda specializes in Christian counseling and Bible college teaching. Together, they lead Insight for Living Romania: Ben is Pastor Chuck Swindoll’s “voice” in the Romanian language, and Anda runs the office. Anda also leads a group practice of Christian counselors.

Ben and Anda were born and raised in Romania during the Communist regime. Bucharest is their hometown, where they both received Bachelor of Arts degrees in Theology and got married. Right out of college, Ben served as an assistant pastor in a difficult church plant in the city. Needing much more training, they came to Dallas Theological Seminary, where Ben earned his Master of Theology and Anda received a Master of Arts in Christian Counseling. During their time in Dallas, they were members of Stonebriar Community Church, and Ben was ordained for ministry there in his senior year at DTS. They always knew the Lord was equipping them so that they could return to serve Him in Bucharest. The city has only 0.5% Evangelicals and desperately needs the Gospel. God called the couple to plant a new Christ-honoring, Gospel-centered, and grace-oriented church in the very center of Bucharest where there was no other Evangelical church. Upon their return to Bucharest, they were also appointed to bring Pastor Chuck Swindoll’s sermons to their country and open the office of Insight for Living Romania.

Hobbies & Interests: The Mogos family enjoys reading, traveling, and playing with their pets. David also loves Mario games, and Emma loves colorful toys. They all love American sweets, especially Butterfingers, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and oatmeal crème pies.
