Susan & Wes Craig


Location: Romania

Hometowns: Edgewood and College Station, Texas

Commissioned: 2006

The Craigs work among the Roma people who have many physical needs resulting from living in poverty.  They are part of Project Ruth, which has been working since 1992 in the Ferentari neighborhood of Bucharest to meet needs of Roma children. These children drop out or fall behind in school, and Ruth School provides a way for them to re-enter the educational system with hopes of finishing school.

“I am able to be the presence of Christ in my work environment, either at the office or at the school,” said Susan, who works in the Project Ruth office coordinating activities and volunteer trips.

Wes helps extend theological and leadership education to Roma pastors through his work with Gypsy Smith School for church leaders.

“For the Roma of Romania to be reached with the gospel, it really must come through Roma reaching Roma, and this is one way we can encourage and support this,” Wes said.
