: About Me

Having worked for almost six years within the social welfare system for young people, Cosmin travelled from the heart of Transylvania (Romania) to Belfast Bible College where he completed his theological training (2003-2006). While studying at BBC, he served and worshipped at Crescent Church in Belfast. In 2005 he joined the ministry staff at All Saints' Church, Belfast, as a Student Worker. In 2009, he was appointed as the new IFES Ireland Campus Staff Worker in Dublin. He joins the team of IFES Ireland with an outstanding track record, being respected and known for his servant heart and his commitment to Christ, His Church and the student world.

During his free time Cosmin delves into the areas of Biblical Sociology and Christian Apologetics. When not researching or reading, he enjoys walking, socialising with friends and watching films at the cinema. Acknowledging that 'Life is Beautiful' tops his list. Cosmin is also known (around the world) for formulating the phrase "Only Joking"!
