George Serban |
My name is George Serban, I am the coordinating pastor of Hope Church in Draganesti-Olt. Daniela and I are married and have two children together, Sarah and Lydia. In 1998, God made me understand that I am a sinner and I need forgiveness and His love in my life. Shortly after conversion, I was attracted to Christian ministry. I studied at Bible College, Hope for the Future, and in 2005 I joined EHIP Missionary River, helping to plant churches in the villages of Olt county, especially in Stoienesti.
I am currently coordinating the mission team at the regional level and am involved in discipleship and ministry along with other ministers. Role: Coordinating pastor, Coordinator of the Stoenesti mission base. Email: serbangeorge@hoperomania.org Phone number: +4/076 169 8133 |

I studied at Bethany Bible College in Sibiu for 4 years, from 1995 until 1998, where I also worked with a team from the church in a neighborhood of Alba.
