During his youth in Romania, Marcel saw God's Word modeled and lived out in his grandparents' lives and began to love it for himself. His desire to serve grew naturally out of an authentic passion for God and His people.
Prior to ministry, Marcel worked as an electrical engineer and team coordinator, then pursued and completed his ministry education at Theological Baptist Institute and Theological Pentecostal Institute.
Marcel's service in youth ministry, teaching Sunday School, as a pastor's assistant, and as a missionary combine to nearly twenty years of experience. The values, context, vision and passion of Harvest Metanoia Arad resonated deeply and motivated Marcel and his wife Neliana to begin a new work in Ghioroc, initially, in their home.
Marcel and Neliana are raising their two daughters, Ligia and Larissa. Together they desire for Harvest Metanoia Ghioroc to be a church that preaches and lives out the gospel of Christ as a testimony to their community and to see lives changed for all eternity as a result.
