In February 15, 1998, after graduating from the Cluj University, the Reformed Theology Faculty, and after a long period of prayer, together with my wife, we decided to move to Republic of Moldova, in order to ministry the God.
From the above-mentioned date till August 25, 1998, I worked in the church from Pelinia, in the north of Moldova. I had many experiences with God there, and I can write, that that I had much to learn about ministry. But it wasn’t a very fruitful ministry, from different reasons. Beginning with August 25, I began to work in Chisinau, in the Filadelfia church, led by brother Doru Cirdei.
At the beginning of my ministry I was a preacher and the leader of a cell group from Ciocana area. Later I worked for a period of time with the youth from Filadelfia church, evangelizations, etc.
Then I was called the leader of the fellowship group’s leaders from Filadelfia church, which work I continue to do.
In march 8, 2000; I was ordained as a deacon in the Filadelfia church. On the 12th of March I organized the first evangelization, which was the first stone for the future Elimm church from Chisinau. Brother Ghenadie Popovici was my assistant. Together with the OM and later with Youth for Mission from Cluj, (Romania), we organized different evangelizations campaigns in two areas, in which we have been working: in Riscani and in Ciocana.
In March 25, 2001: we started the work for the planting of church Bethel in Vadul lui Voda, together with my assistant, and with the youth group from Elimm church. At the moment it consists of 5 members and it has a not very big number of visitors. I think that the ministry will increase, because there is people open to the Gospel.
Through the grace of God, in March 25, 2001, the first evangelization meeting took place in the culture club, hired for this sake, (Vadul lui Voda). At the meeting took part average 30 children began to attend the Sunday school meetings.
Even if during the ministry we had different difficulties, the ministry continued for the Glory of God. In such a way, in March 31 and April first, we organized two days of evangelizations with Jesus film. It was one evening in Romanian and one in Russian. The Lord blessed these evenings, in which took part many grown-ups but especially children. Twenty of grown-ups and many children decided to fellow Jesus.
In June 16, 2001 the youth from the Elimm church, Chisinau organized a special program for children, and for their teachers. Both the children and the teachers were impressed of this program, suggesting the organizing of other programs of kind for children.
Together with OM, (an international and interconfessional missionary organization), we organized an evangelization period for the 16th to the 24th of June. The youth from the Elimm church joined this evangelization campaign. It was a blessed time. The grown-ups, and especially the youth were open to the Gospel and were listening with great interest to the youth group, which were singing and gave their personal testimonies in front of the audience.
On the 22nd of July, when the baptizing water was organized in Filadelfia church from Chisinau the first two persons from Vadul lui Voda were baptized and six from Elimm.
I am one of the editors of the magazine “The Gospel Voice” and of the newspaper “The word of faith”. These publications are in Romanian and Russian.
As a teacher at the Theological Seminary I teach Systematical Theology, Ethics, and Homiletics for 2nd year students, who felt the calling to be future ministers in the field of the Gospel. I am a member of the examination team of the students during the matriculation and the graduation within the Seminary. Also within the Seminary I help as an assistant of the academicals dean at the preparing the courses for the students, at elaboration of the academicals time-table, of the syllabus, etc.
In March 2002, I was called the Sunday school director for adults and children, for Russian and Romanian services in the Filadelfia church. I organized already conferences in order to prepare and instruct Sunday school teachers a children church, five years study plan for the children and three years study plan of Sunday school for adults. We would like the Sunday school for adults to be a place of preparing new ministers and evangelists, who will ministry the God.
Concerning my academicals preparation – I can tell that. I graduated from the Theoretical High school from Hateg, Hunedoara County, biology – chemistry profile, in 1992. I graduated from Theological Pentecostal Institute from Bucharest in 1997, and I took my license in the reformed theology at Babesh – Bolyiai University from Cluj in 1998. in 1998 I applied fro a program of Master of Arts in practical ministry, at TCM International Biblical Studies Institute, Haus Edelweiss, Austria and I finished the program in August, 2002, having the graduation in spring, 2003. Also in 2002 I applied for another program of Master of Divinity in practical ministry at same Institute in Austria, which is a part of Cincinatti Bible College from USA.
