Office History

Romanian translations of Brother Branham’s sermons began in earnest in 1990, and in 1993 the first Romanian office was established in Satu Mare, Romania to handle the growing requests for materials. In 2002, the office was relocated to Timisoara, Romania's second largest city, where VGR could better serve the believers throughout Romania. A larger, new office and warehouse were constructed and dedicated in 2004 to meet the ever-growing demands for translated sermons. The Agapao tablet distribution in Romania resulted in 718 Agapao tablets and 151 Hero tablets being distributed to Romanian Believers.

In 2021 the decision was made to sell the office building in Romania, since with the launch of the Table app, the distribution of the Agapao tablets throughout Romania and the proliferation of smart phones, the office was no longer needed to supply physical materials to the believers. Sermons are now be supplied directly to the believers via mobile app technology.

Brother Alin, continues to visit the Romania believers throughout Romania, but also remains in contact with Believers in the surrounding countries of Hungary, Serbia, Moldova, and Bulgaria as well.
