Emilia is Ely’s sister. Stefan and Emilia grew up in the gypsy village of Augustin. When they came to Christ, Stefan and Emilia quickly dedicated themselves to the children and to the young people of their village and began to organize many activities for these young people (evenings, weekends, house meetings, children's sponsoring...). Their work focuses on youth evangelization and discipleship (in addition to social help) in gypsy villages.

Sorin & Mihaela heard about Jesus ever since they were very young. One day, while watching the youth in his village waste their time on boredom, Sorin thought to himself that the Church should be present there. Sorin fought hard to bring the Gospel message to their village in an adapted manner. He started with a music festival - Youth Music Fest (http://youthmusicfest.ro/) - which now brings together more than 600 young people each summer. Sorin & Mihaela also began weekly programs for the kids, and music week-ends for the teens.
