Catalin Chiciudean
In BIG Impact, I am part of the curriculum development team and produce all the events associated with BIG. Since 2021, we developed the Romanian Leadership Forum. I produced the two events we already had and assisted the Forum Director, along with my wife, in managing the Forum throughout the year.
I grew up in a Christian home. I got baptised in ‘92 and became heavily involved in our youth ministry at the church through discipleship/leadership programs. I met the Lord through a deeply personal experience when I was 18.
My defining moments have included the youth ministry I was involved in, the personal experience at 18, the move to become a youth ministry missionary, working with youth from another city in Romania (when I was 19), and the move to start working in BIG Impact ministry.
This would be my first time at the ELF. I am interested in seeing how the ELF is run, produced, etc., so that we can best serve our national participants in the Romanian Leadership Forum.
I was in leadership roles in our local youth ministry for many years. We developed a Youth Network, a national youth leader training project, training youth leaders all across Romania. In 2008, I started working in BIG Impact, assisting Gelu Paul, the national coordinator. At the same time, I became the national producer for the Global Leadership Summit Romania for nine years, overseeing the production of the GLS and helping the project management throughout the year. I was the GLS European Producer assistant for three years.
The Romanian church leaders would be better served.
