Bebe & Mirela Baciu
Bebe and Mirela Baciu are currently the full-time directors of The Way House in Iasi, Romania. They live in the ministry house with their 2 children, Teodora and Sebina. After spending much time in prayer and being involved in ministry at The Way, they felt more and more God's calling to work with college students full time. They desire to see college students coming back to God and worshipping Him. Each week the Bacius meet new students and spend time with them on campus and in the dorms. At The Way, they meet with students weekly for dinner, building relationships and sharing the Gospel with students individually. Every Friday evening, non-Christian students are invited to The Way to listen to songs, personal testimonies and the Gospel message.

Dave & Erin Frerichs
Erin became a Christian on a trip to Romania in 1992 led by Jeff Sutton. In 2000, shortly after she and David began dating, she moved to Iasi, Romania with her sister Meg to serve at Ecclesia church. She and Meg were recruited to help run Ecclesia's "English Service," a church service focused on sharing Christ with the international students studying in the city of Iasi. After Erin returned from Romania, she taught first-grade for three years, while David finished his studies in bioengineering and business, and they were married in 2003. During the past year, the Lord renewed their passion for sharing Christ with international students, especially those who have never been exposed to the gospel before. They plan to move to Iasi during 2008 to minister among the 2,000+ international students in the city.

Abby spent time as a youth leader at her church, realizing the importance of discipleship. Together they have a vision to see people completely changed through worship and relationships for Christ and His kingdom. Chris will head down to San Miguel de Allende with the church planting team in February 2009 and serve as the worship leader for the church. Abby will join the team after their wedding in August 2009.

Trevor and Christina Jensen

Leading up to their wedding in the fall of 2008, Trevor and Christina sought the Lord for His plan for their new life together. He perfectly fused their passion for African people and for discipleship as He lead them to join the Frerichs’ ministry to international students in Iasi, Romania.
