UKRAINE RELIEF FUND
Donations entirely designated for helping Ukraine refugees. Together with several other churches in Bucharest, we are providing help to hundreds of people coming to Romania from Ukraine. Some of the funds are sent through trusted contacts directly to Ukraine to help those in need. Additionally, we organize humanitarian convoys almost every week.

AGAPE BUILDING FUND
Our church plant had the amazing opportunity of purchasing a building in a great location in downtown Bucharest. We could only afford it because it was in bad shape. But its potential is really great. Please help us renovate it! At this stage, we still need to raise $240,000 USD—something impossible for us, but we trust it will become reality with God's help and yours.

We lead or we are involved in all of the following ministries on a regular basis.
Church planting
We planted Agape Baptist Church, a Gospel centered church in downtown Bucharest. Since then, I (Ben) have been Agape's pastor.
Teaching
Both of us teach at the Baptist Bible College in Bucharest, as well as in other settings or events, both on site and online.
Counseling
Anda has a master's degree in Biblical Counseling from Dallas Seminary and she founded a group practice of Christian counselors.
Radio
I have the privilege of being the "voice" of Chuck Swindoll in our country, through Insight for Living Romania. Anda is often invited to speak on counseling topics on the radio.
Leadership Center
We founded Bucharest Christian Center for Leadership — a lay institute where believers are equipped to have a greater godly influence in their families, churches, and jobs.
Resources
We translate English books and other resources much needed in our country. Anda has also published two well received books addressing very relevant needs of family life.
About Us
Both of us were born in Romania, during the Communist regime. I (Ben) grew up in a family of Evangelical believers, while Anda was raised in an atheist background. In high-school, we were both saved and called to serve Christ. So, we went on to study at the Baptist Bible College in Bucharest. Soon after we got married in 2003, we had the opportunity to study at Dallas Theological Seminary, where I graduated with a Master of Theology in Christian Education, and Anda with a Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling. Recently, we have also been working on completing our PhD programs at the University of Bucharest. God blessed us with two children, a boy (b. 2012) and a girl (b. 2021), and we have two pets—a dog called Luna, and a cat named Seinfeld.
After living 4 years in Texas and graduating from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2010, God called us to move back to Romania and serve in Bucharest. This is the capital, and it has a population of almost 3 million people, with less than 1% Evangelicals. Our passion is to serve Christ in Bucharest through all of the ministries listed above.
