Beginning his educational life in 1923 at the "Liceul Internat" high school in Iasi, Ioanid went on to study at the Academy of Dramatic Arts from 1929 to 1934, graduating with top honors.
During this period, he showcased his artistic versatility with the inaugural exhibition of sculpture caricature, exploring mediums such as clay, oil painting, glass, wax, paper, and wood.
A transformative moment occurred in 1940 when Ioanid, reading the Bible in a park, caught the attention of Mihai and Sabina Wurmbrand.
Invited to Richard Wurmbrand's Lutheran Church, Ioanid deepened his study of the Bible, leading to the creation of his initial Christian poems.
By 1966, he found solace in the Lutheran church, earning recognition as a leading Christian poet alongside Traian Dorz and others.
