Testimony of Conversion
My name is George Serban. I was saved in 1998 when God had mercy on me. I grew up in an evangelical church until I was fifteen years old. Then I had to move away to go to another school. This meant that I found new friends who did not love God, and I began to distance myself from God’s Word. It was then that I tasted the bitterness of this world and its immorality. But then, God showed me His sweetness and beauty. He told me, “I paid a price for you and you are mine. If you continue in this, you will be disciplined.” These words went through my heart and I answered His call.
In 2003, God called me to go to Bible school because I needed to be prepared to serve Him well. I knew He was calling me in the ministry. It was hard, but I had to choose between an easy life following my own interests and a life lived for the highest purpose: serving Him. I chose His will and I have seen His guidance in our ministry of serving Him here in Oltenia. I consider it a privilege to be His worker. In this moment, my ministry is being carried out in Stoenesti. It is my vision is plant a church here and in the neighboring villages. I know we will not be able to do these things through our power, but through the power of the God who sent us.
