Meet The Pastor
Pastor Paul Pierucki
Our pastors testimony for Gods glory,
Paula and I were married in 1984 and had a rough life because of drugs and much death. In 1986 my 18 year old nephew died, than my father died from alcohol, then the next year my mother died in my arms, her last words were "its all right" but nothing was. Six weeks later a best friend living with us died, a priest said he was in heaven because of his baptism. Another friend was weeping because he had never been baptized, but I was scared too. Then the next summer Paula's sister, husband and 10 year old nephew were killed by a drunk driver.
Our marriage was over. I thought a baby would save it, and made a vow to God to live for him but could not clean up and live a Christian life. I had always sold drugs and Paula had quit. I gave up any hope, and 3 months later started a new job. A man I worked with invited us to church May 20,1990. The message was for me, the invitation and the knowledge that Jesus paid it all was given to me by God through his men, and He saved my soul. Went home forgiven and going to heaven!
I could not touch drugs or alcohol since! Called to preach and trained at our local Baptist church Institute. Paula was saved Feb.14 1991 and we worked in nursing homes weekly, jail ministry, bus ministries, Sunday school, JR church and whatever we could for 13 years in the States. God called us to Romania Aug.2001 and we did deputation March 2002 to Oct. 2003 and have been busy here since. Took care of 2 churches and a bible institute for a brother on furlough the first several months then started a Baptist church 150 miles east in the spring of 2004 in Nasaud for 4 years with several other village ministries. Then had a church in Pericei for three years while also in Zalau, and also other villages. We will not work with the Baptist Union or accept their baptism because many of them teach a works salvation.
Have helped another local church and Bible Institute 70 miles away too and our former missionaries bible school. In all I have taught over 300 college hours. Children camps, street meetings, giving out over 45,000 New Testaments, 800,000 John and Romans, many thousands of complete bibles in many languages, and have no idea the amount of tracts. All our family loves sowing the word of God. I know it is Gods will for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, and God in his sovereignty gave man a free will. Then once saved we do not belong to ourselves, but are his purchased possession, a child forever and trophy of his grace.
