ABOUT

ABOUT

I’m Naty. It’s short for Natalie to fit my size. Although a citizen of three countries, if you scratch me, I bleed Moldovan.

  • Daughter of a Moldovan pastor who’s been in the ministry for 40 years.
  • Wife of a pastor on the mission field for 20 years in Romania and Moldova.
  • I am an ESL teacher by trade, although I love writing, and putting music to Bible verses.
  • We are an international family of four, from 3 countries. Our teenage daughters were adopted from Romania, inspired my children’s book Patched, Our Adoption Story.

  • I serve alongside my husband in our church. We work with over 30 nations. I serve on the women’s ministry team for the IBC Convention (based in Germany). In our church in Bucharest I am involved in worship team, kids church, women’s ministry, counceling with my husband.
  • We work with the refugees from Ukraine, and we take trips into Ukraine as needed. We do camps, evangelism, and more in Republic of Moldova.

  • I have fire in the belly for evangelism, solid theology, and I love to be vocal about Jesus online and offline.
  • I’m energised by charting the Bible, writing, blogging, rainy days, English tea and Godiva chocolate. My motto is Psalm 16:2, “You are my Lord, apart from you I have no good thing.”
  • My favorite Bible character is Betzalel, the project manager of the tabernacle. His creative excellence and readiness to use his talents inspires me to discover and hone my craft. I feel like Jack of all trades and master of none. But that’s okay because Christ is the master of all. 

SPEAKING OPPORTUNITIES

I come not as a Bible scholar with polished speeches, but as an everyday woman with multi-passions, multi-responsibilities, and multi-struggles, and a little fire in the belly … yet with one single devotion, Jesus Christ.

Just like Betzalel from Scriptures, I want “to stand in the shadow of God“, walk in grace and thrive in joy…. because joy is to be the mood and mode of every believer.
