What is your ministry?
As a church elder, my responsibilities are the small prayer groups. Also, I am involved in making the calendar for the Bible study school. Another part of my ministry is working alongside my wife in decorating the church for Sunday services.
When did you trust Christ?
There were two moments in my life when I called Jesus in my heart as Lord and Saviour; the first was when I was four years old, my parents used to read me biblical bedtime stories, and one night the story ended with the call to repentance, asking Jesus to be the Captain of your life, which I did. The second time was at 14 in a summer camp at our church. Danny Strickland was the preacher who helped me understand that I need Christ to change my life.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
Many people have had an impact on my Christian life. First, my parents, who have been genuine Christians for as long as I remember, helped me with my first steps in faith. Then there are the children’s and youth group leaders, with all of their lessons, and, of course, the church pastor, Onisim Mladin, who is an excellent preacher. Another person close to my heart is Beniamin Faragau from Cluj-Napoca, where I went to college. He helped me fall in love with the study of God's Word.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
My pastor, Ovi Hanc, told me about this Forum. From our discussions, I realised that participating would help me greatly, in serving the Body of Christ with a better organisation and understanding of the ministry.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
From my youth, I loved to serve God in many different aspects. I was involved in the church program when I went to college in Cluj-Napoca. I attended a weakly prayer group and then became that group's leader. When I returned home to Arad, I brought the vision of the small prayer groups to my church, and now I supervise all the small groups in our church. Also, I am a Sunday school Bible teacher, a choir member, and a church elder at the second mandate.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I think the most crucial aspect is a willing heart, and all who know me can say that I serve the Body of Christ in various ways. All I pray is to remain humble in helping others. God gives us gifts so we may support His church.
