Romanian translation began in earnest in 1990, and in 1993 the first Romanian office is set up in Satu Mare to handle the growing request for materials. In 2002, the office relocated to Timisoara, Romania's second largest city, where VGR could better serve the believers in Romania. A larger, new office and warehouse were constructed and dedicated in 2004 to meet the ever-growing demands. The office now serves not only the believers in Romania, but in the surrounding countries of Hungary, Serbia, Moldova, and Bulgaria as well.
Short History of Office Manager:
Brother Petru received the Message for the first time 28 years ago. He came out of the Pentecost movement and pastors a church in Timisoara, now for 25 years. He and his son, Alin, have managed the office in Romania since 2002 and are the distributors for their country. They travel throughout Romania and neighboring countries; Hungary, Serbia and Moldova. They have established contacts visiting fellowships and ensure every believer has access to the Message materials which are distributed for free.
