Ovidiu and Mihaela Teodorescu were asked by newly-established pastor of Maranatha Romanian Church of God, Ionel Burzo, to attend the RTO Church of God conference out-of-state, in his place. Ionel Burzo expressed he was unable to attend due to being preoccupied with familial matters.
Ovidiu and Mihaela attended the conference, where Andy Dimbi also attended of his own volition. Because Ionel Burzo chose to send Mihaela and Ovidiu Teodorescu to the conference as the formal representatives of the Maranatha Romanian Church of God, in his place, Ionel Burzo approved the church fund be utilized to purchase airfare and lodging for Mihaela and Ovidiu.
At the time, Abigail Teodorescu, Ovidiu and Mihaela’s daughter, was working at a Hilton hotel property where she had access to assist family and friends in booking discounted rates at hotel properties across the country for their trips. Ovidiu and Mihaela related this to Pastor Ionel Burzo, stating they would pay for lodging, as their daughter had already found a suitable hotel for a very discounted price. Pastor Ionel Burzo refused, and insisted the couple stay at the same grand hotel where all of the Church of God visiting pastors and administration would be staying, and Maranatha Church of God would cover the cost. The couple obliged to his wishes.
Several months later, after Ovidiu and Mihaela Teodorescu had departed the Maranatha Church of God, due to Pastor Ionel Burzo’s empowerment and appointment of Andy Dimbi as a deacon within the church (regardless of all of the extensive evidence available that he is not a man after God’s Word), Andy Dimbi took it upon himself to forward the Teodorescu family a letter.
In this letter, Andy Dimbi alleges the family stated they would pay back the funds they utilized to attend the conference (that they were requested to attend in Pastor Ionel Burzo’s absence). This was not true, therefore, Ovidiu Teodorescu contacted Pastor Ionel Burzo to inquire as to whether he was aware and had approved that Andy Dimbi forward this document to him, while utilizing the official COG Romanian Territory Office Seal (which Andy Dimbi did not represent).
Ovidiu Teodorescu received no reply from Ionel Burzo, though the message revealed it had been read. Ovidiu then contacted Florin Cimpean via telephone (current Administrative Bishop of the COG Romanian Territory Office). Florin Cimpean relayed he was not aware of the letter, and Andy Dimbi did not have authorization to send it, nor did he have authorization to use the official COG RTO seal on the document to make it appear as though it were an official Church of God notice.
Ovidiu Teodorescu had begun gathering in his living room with his family, where two or three families were gathering along with them to worship and praise the Lord without the influence of the corruption taking place in Nampa. When Andy Dimbi’s tactics failed with regard to this “official letter”, he once again resorted to reaching out to the youth of the community. He began messaging specific individuals within the group of people that were gathering with the Teodorescu family for praise and worship.
Once of these individuals was Jessica Marcu, daughter of Adrian and Mariana Marcu. Andy Dimbi reached out to her demanding she tell Ovidiu and Mihaela Teodorescu to return the money they had utilized. Frustrated with the ongoing manipulation and corruption, Jessica Marcu replied in a sarcastic manner, questioning when it would ever be enough for him, and asking what Andy was trying to achieve through these tactics.
Photos of their conversation via Whatsapp have been attached, as well as the “official letter” Andy Dimbi had forwarded to Ovidiu and Mihaela Teodorescu.
