Manager History:

I come from a family of believers and since I was a child I attended the Pentecostal church of those times. I felt God speaking to my heart and I gave my life to Him. I began to live the Christian life as I knew better and even that everyone around me considered me a strange child, I was very happy with my faith in God. After I graduated, I was hired in the army; I got married and we have four children. I continued with my family in the Christian life as Pentecostals. God put in our heart a sincere love for Him, and we just wanted to have more and more of Him in our lives. So our Heavenly Father gave us much more, He sent a person to us, a brother who brought a book with the title: “Why Are We Not A Denomination." My wife and I read and reread this sermon of Reverend Branham and we just received the answers of our questions and doubts. After reading we decided to be baptized in the Name Of Jesus Christ, the Bible baptism. Shortly after, we received the audio tapes with the Life Story of Brother Branham. I took my wife and children in our humble house and reverently listen to this tape registered and translated in our language. It was such a blessing to us, and it was the beginning of our life as Message Believers. We were so touched by God’s Word sent through His prophet. It gave us peace, sweetness and so much joy to our hearts!

Today, in 2014, after 36 years since we received the first sermon of Brother Branham, my family and I continue to feed our souls with the Message, which is our everyday fresh Manna.

As we received the greatest blessing in this life having the Revealed Word of God, we are happy and eager to share it with the others. It’s a great honor to be part of the Great Machine, I feel I am a blessed husband, dad to my four children, father-in-law for my two daughters-in-law, my son-in-low and grandfather of nine nephews all Message Believers. We are thankful to our Lord, Jesus Christ!

Office History

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.
