John & Mihaela

Pastors John and Mihaela Blig were both born in Romania and have been happily married since September 1993. Both were saved at the age of 15, and were later filled with the Holy Spirit in ’91. Soon, they were leading youth in song and ministry for a 1,200 member church in Arad, Romania. They’ve been singing/leading worship together for over 16 yrs and have produced a praise and worship CD. John was ordained a pastor by Emanuel Worship Center of North Carolina (part of Grace Covenant Churches) in ‘96 while visiting the U.S. The Bligs immigrated to the US to join John’s family in ’99. Since then, they’ve both graduated from Charis Bible College (Chicago). They are the parents of Jason (16), Melody (10), and Harmony (2).

MISSIONS

They were missionaries to the Czech Republic with Harvest International Ministries. In 1994, they began working with ARC Ministries and planted 4 churches in Romania, trained leaders, pastored two of the new churches, led worship in national conferences, and led stadium evangelistic crusades. John and Mihaela moved to San Antonio purely because God called them here to plant a church. They look forward to returning to Europe and Muslim Countries for evangelism and future church planting.
