When did you trust Christ?

I received my Lord in 1986. In 1991, I went to the theology institute, and in 1994, I was elected as pastor of a Baptist church in Bistrita. Since then, I have been serving as a pastor in Bistrita.

What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?

1986-87, I felt the calling to minister to my brothers in arms during the military service. Since then, every stage of my life has been accompanied by new revelations from God, being able to grow with the church.

My work started as a pastor in 1994. After a while, I was elected onto the board of the Regional Community of Baptist churches of Cluj. I represented the Baptist Union of Romania as the General Secretary in the last eight years.

Why should someone invest in your ministry?

You should invest in my ministry because I work with many people and want to be equipped to spread the gospel.
