What is your ministry?
I am part of a pastoral team at Vox Domini Church, Timisoara. I am responsible for teaching, leading a house church, and participating in the church's coordination. Besides this, I lead an NGO (Busola Financiara), where I spread the teaching of biblical stewardship.
When did you trust Christ?
I grew up in a committed Christian family. My father was a Baptist minister. In 1987, as I was graduating from the 8th grade, I was going through some rough times, and I started asking questions about God. One day, after reading my Bible and listening to sermons, one sermon spoke to me personally, and I decided to follow Jesus right then.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
One crucial moment was when I left for Baptist Theological Seminary in Bucharest, about 400 miles from home. I went to study to be a pastor, which strengthened my relationship with Christ—assuring me that it was okay to be alone as long as I followed God's plan. Another crucial and painful moment was my parents' divorce and entering the ministry in 1996. I became the assistant pastor of Golgotha Baptist Church in Arad.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
Attending the European Leadership Forum is a great blessing. Interacting with a broad group of leaders from other countries and cultures has enlarged and enriched my perspective on ministry. It has helped me increase the number of people (disciples and leaders) in whom I invest, the quality of my messages and talks, and the capacity to face change, make changes, and organize my work to understand and improve my leadership.
The Forum is an essential event for me for encouragement, reconnection, teaching, and inspiration for the future. I am also preparing to bring the next generation of leaders with me to expose them to the Forum. Because of the Forum, I gained resources I could not find anywhere else!
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
In 2001, I became the youth pastor at Maranatha Baptist Church, serving until 2004. I subsequently became a youth minister at Vox Domini.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
By investing in me, you will also invest in many Romanian leaders. Together, we can change Romania for Christ.
