Daniel Serbanescu
|
My name is Daniel Serbanescu, I am married to Mihaela and together, we have 5 children. Together, we serve in the community of Daneasa. 18 years ago, I came to know God through a dream that I had one night. Following this dream, my heart was full of lack of assurance and fear as to where my eternal destiny would be. Two years ago, through an invitation from a missionary from Hope Church in Draganesti-Olt and during the time that we were searching for a place to serve, we understand that God had a plan for us in Oltenia. Presently, we serve with a local team in Daneasa to plant a church.

I am Alexe Costea and I was born in Alba Iulia on 25th of October, 1981. I grew up and I spent my teenage years in Alba Iulia. I met Jesus and I asked Him to be my Savior and Lord when I was 20. I understood that I desperately need salvation and to worship God. My wife and I were lead to Comani (a district of Draganesti) through God’s will in order to build a Church there. God gave us a new vision for Comani.
