Regional Director for the Eastern Europe
(Contact Daniel)

Daniel Iosub was born, raised and educated in Bucharest, Romania. Growing up in a Christian family and placing his faith Christ as teenager, he experienced a great deal of opposition from the atheistic regime of the time. After the socio-political transformation in that part of the world, Daniel decided to give up his civil engineering career to study theology and dedicate himself to Christian ministry. Since 1994, he has been involved in CBS International and is now the CBSI Regional Director for Central-Eastern Europe. Daniel, his wife Magda, and his two children, live in Bucharest, Romania, where they are happy to serve the Lord. (click for full bio)

From the Director:

The Central-Eastern European region is comprised of 28 countries; from Central and Eastern Europe to the Balkans and the former Soviet Union. All these countries share five long decades of official denial of God, rejection of Christ and ridicule of the Holy Bible. As I guide this region, the goal is to initiate and develop strong national CBS International ministries in each country. This involves raising up national leadership, forming national servants teams, translating the CBSI materials into the native languages, training people to lead the Bible study groups, with the desired end result being to finally to see people gathered together everywhere on a weekly basis to study the Mighty Word of the Living God.

In this region of the world, as the Church attempts to change the paradigm from general to individual, church services move from the traditional approach toward the more intimate small group setting. Considering the lack of trained leadership and the vacuum of sound Bible materials, CBS International fills the need of thousands of Christian leaders and millions of believers across Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.

I believe that in a matter of a decade or so CBS International could become the most prominent and powerful discipleship tool available for everyone across Europe. In order to effectively build up the body of Christ for God’s glory, I believe that each country in the region needs to adopt CBSI program, adapting it to their specific culture and operating it with their local resources. In this way the study of God’s Word will become culturally and personally pertinent, while remaining faithful to the integrity of God’s never-changing Word.

Join me in this great life changing adventure!
