Timur Tricolici is a camp program director and spiritual counsellor for men in Moldova.
When did you trust Christ?
My first encounter with Jesus was at the age of 7 years old in Sunday School. When I was 15, I decided not only to repent but also to follow Jesus.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
One of the biggest influences in my walk with Jesus is my dad, who is always inspiring me to do as much as I can for the Lord. Other defining moments have been my spiritual journey with my mentors, studying at a Christian university, and the Holy Spirit's care throughout these years.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I think this will enable me to be ready for more situations in ministry. YRM will encourage me in my ministerial call by inspiring and equipping me for further development in God's work. Currently, I am studying for a Master of Divinity Degree. I want to become a better disciple who is making for Disciples for Jesus Christ!
What is your ministry?
My ministry is Camp 'Hope' with the Eurasian Baptist Mission in Moldova. Right now I am preparing for a trip to Malawi to teach basic doctrines to young pastors. During the year, I teach leadership and small groups including a small group for men. During the summer, I serve as a camp program director leading evangelical camps with God's help.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I have been a youth leader in my church for years, first as a team member and then as a leader of the team. I currently assist our youth pastor. At my university, I have been an RA responsible for the Christian ethics in the halls. I have been an administrator of the culinary business 'Open Gate Kitchen', and I have also been an administrator of the Christian centre for youth 'Life On Purpose'. I am a camp program director, which includes recruiting and leading the team during the summer.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
For several years, I have been in full-time ministry where I depend on the financial help of other people. I do not have the funds to attend the Forum. Investing in my training might change the many people I encounter every year. I pursue the commandment of the Great Commission and believe attending the Forum will help me learn how to spread God's Word better. I also hope that God will give me a powerful vision for my ministry during the Forum.
