One Man, Twelve Courses, Serving a Country

 

Liviu GusakGod is using one man to impact countless lives for good at every level of society in Moldova. His name is Liviu Gusak—he’s a medical doctor, a committed follower of Jesus Christ and an Entrust student.

Moldova, sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, is a nation of about 4.5 million people, 98 percent of whom are Orthodox Christian. When Liviu Gusak was 14, he was given a Bible. He loved reading it, but couldn’t understand it. As a teenager, he worked as an assistant in the oncology section of a hospital. He became depressed by the suffering he witnessed and turned to science for answers. Eventually he attended an evangelical church where he discovered real answers and hope in Christ. He trusted Christ for salvation and responded to God’s call to serve Him.

Since then, Dr. Gusak has led a busy life. He co-founded and became president of the Christian Medical Association of Moldova, which brings together medical personnel for prayer and Bible study, and offers free short-term clinics for the poor and elderly across the nation. He founded and serves as president of Immanuel Medical Clinic in Chisinau, Moldova, offering quality medical care on a sliding fee scale to ensure that people of all income levels receive the care they need.

In the midst of all this, Dr. Gusak found time to take 12 Entrust courses, often having to trade shifts with other doctors in order to attend. Dr. Gusak told us that before Entrust he had no idea how to study, interpret or correctly apply the Word of God and said his "time in the Entrust program determined the quality of [his] spiritual ministry." After completing the training he co-founded the Christian Embassy of Moldova, reaching out to professionals from all walks of life—from the medical community to politicians to entertainers—with the truth of God’s Word. He is also a deacon at Golgotha Baptist Church, where he leads a Bible study and occasionally preaches on Sunday mornings.

Directly or indirectly, virtually all of the evangelical Christians and many, many others throughout Moldova are being impacted by this one man and the ministries that he has co-founded—a man who’s been grounded and transformed by Jesus Christ through the ministry of Entrust.
