Who We Are

We were both born in the atheistic Soviet Union. While we grew up, there was very little awareness or knowledge about God, Jesus Christ or the Bible. After the break of the Soviet Union(1989), the Christian Gospel flooded the post-soviet countries.

We both came to Christ as students in the late ‘90s and got involved with the student ministry of Cru Moldova. We graduated from our universities and joined staff in the 2000’s

On May 25, 2002 we got married and we have been serving with Cru Moldova(Campus Crusade) since. Along the years, we have worked with students, women and in the church planting ministries.

Because of our University backgrounds we have always made efforts to use digital content and platforms for advancing our mission. 

We have three wonderful children:Andrei-20, Sandu-15 and Leti-12 years old.

Why Digital Strategies?

We believe God is fulfilling this 2,600-year-old prophecy in our times: Write the vision, make it plain on tablets, so that the one who reads it may run...The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the seas. — Habakkuk 2:2,14

Think about it: everyone you want to reach is online. It’s finally time to act like it.  - Carey NieuwhofPeople are searching for spiritual content online. We want to be there when they are searching. We want to provide the message of hope, instead of only what the world is giving.

The new frontline for ministry became the online space. There is now a clear, compelling vision. We go where people are... and make disciples.” - John McNeil

Our Calling

In this season of our lives and ministry, we believe God is calling us to provide spiritual and strategic leadership in Digital Missions in our country and beyond.

We Go Where People Are

WE ENGAGE people who are unaware or curious about God in their journey toward Jesus. We offer them personalized online and offline experiences toward becoming a multiplying disciple.

WE EMPOWER like-minded followers of Jesus with a suite of trusted tools and stra-tegies that help them leverage digital media for ministry.

WE LEAD and are a catalyst for the body of Christ by using digital tools to help plant ministries, churches, groups and networks where none currently exist.

WE COLLABORATE with partners and the body of Christ to inspire and equip multi-plying disciples that are committed to ful-filling of the Great Commission.

We invite you to join us

Cru has no central funds for paying salaries and ministry expenses of its staff. Like many other mission organizations, Cru depends on the consistent financial support of concerned individuals and churches. These contributions are used to fund the ministries of our staff members.

You can make an investment in Moldova by joining our Mission Team as a financial and/or prayer partner.

Right now, we need an additional $3000/mo to stay full time in the ministry. So, we are looking for about 20 people to invest about $150/mo or 10 people to invest about $300/mo.

Thank you for your consideration to partner with the Lord in reaching Moldova for Christ. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

Thank you for your generosity!

Valentin and Svetlana Chicu
