A Brief History of YWAM Romania
YWAM sent teams to Romania back in the days where communism was ruling and the nation was in the strong hand of its dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu. Communism fell in December of 1989 and soon after YWAM sent its first long-term team into the nation. The spiritual hunger was great and it wasn’t long before the first YWAM center was established and more missionaries came in. They ran discipleship training schools and started all kinds of ministries from outreaches to street children to running homes for unwed mothers. Over the years more and more centers were pioneered and many Romanian young people were discipled and released to lead and pioneer more ministries. Together with missionaries from other nations, they continue to serve the Body of Christ and minister to the lost in their different communities across the country and around the globe.
