We, Elisei and Mariana Cozima, work with Campus Crusade for Christ in the student ministry department in Moldova. The Lord brought us to Himself in various ways and called us to fulfill the Great Commission among students. During college years we both where involved as volunteers in student ministry. It impacted us as students and going in dormitories to share the Gospel with others, we saw a great need for Christ. We want to impact students life because they are our future leaders, politicians, doctors and teachers, etc. and if we can win them for Christ today, we can win the whole society tomorrow.

In 2025, we made a life-changing decision: to say yes to God’s call and join the team being sent to Oslo, Norway.

Across Europe, there are still five countries with no Cru presence—places where the gospel has few workers and the spiritual soil is waiting for someone to plant and water. Norway is one of them. In 2024, after two mission trips, a team began to form. Slowly, God brought people together.

After seven years of faithfully serving students in Chișinău, we sensed God leading us to pioneer this new work. Though the call came with questions and challenges, God stirred our hearts and confirmed His direction. The need is real, the door is open, and we are strongly drawn. So, we said yes. We have decided to join the team that Cru Moldova is sending to Norway. By summer 2026, we will be moving to Oslo to help launch Cru Norway, walking alongside local believers, building relationships, and planting seeds of faith in hearts ready to receive the Good News.
