What is your ministry?
I am the Coordinator of Bible Education by Extension for the Baptist Union in Romania, Coordinator for BIG (Biserici cu Impact Global - Churches with global impact) in Arad, and Coordinator in Penitentiary Outreach in Arad for the Baptist Union. I am also the Coordinator in an orphanage in Santana for a Baptist church in Arad.
When did you trust Christ?
I grew up in a Christian family. My grandparents and parents have been models for my brother Gelu and me. In 1974, in Oradea, the Holy Spirit started a revival with a Baptist Pastor, Olah Liviu, and more than 500 people were baptised. I gave my life to Jesus in 1974, and from that, I began a journey to follow Jesus, serving Him and making Him known.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
From 1978, I was exposed to discipleship with the Navigators underground. In 1983, my brother Gelu joined Campus Crusade. In 1986, I joined Bible Education by Extension (BEE). In 1991, with a team from Arad, we started missions at the State Orphans in Santana (the mission is still working). In 1993, I was invited to participate in youth work at the penitentiary in Arad. In 2006, I was elected as National Coordinator with the Baptist Union.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I want to attend ELF to network, be encouraged, and learn how to serve and lead disciples.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
In 1993, I was elected an Arad Coordinator with BEE. In 2002, Gelu Paul started Churches with Big Impact with a team of 21 people from 6 evangelical backgrounds. I started the Romanian Vision of churches in 2006 as National Coordinator with Baptist with BEE.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I want to be more efficient in discipleship. I have a team of discipleship with seven people. I want to invest in people who want to multiply in evangelism and discipleship.
