Descriptionromania

The history of the Assemblies of God in Romania goes back to 1924, when the missionaries from the Bible school in Poland came to evangelize the country. They have started many churches all over Romania. The ministry went very well until 1950, when the communists started to lead the country. In 1950, the Assemblies of God in Romania was closed. They functioned in that time under the name “Christians baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Many churches were closed and pastors lost their licenses.

Before 1950 Romania functioned as three Pentecostals movements. After 1950, only one movement was allowed, called the Apostolic Church of God. The relationship with the US Assemblies of God, was renewed by Robert Mackish who was sent to be the Area Director for Eastern Europe.  He served until 1990. During that time under his leadership many churches were built with the support of the US Assemblies of God. In 1989, the revolution came and communism fell.

In 1990, a new Area Director came, Rev. Bobby Beard. Under his leadership and with the help of Rev. Roland Dudley a Bible School was established in 1993 (the Romanian Bible Institute, today called the Romanian Bible University). This institution has trained hundreds of students who are working all over the world. On the 4th of July, 1996, the Assemblies of God in Romania was recognized by the Romanian government.

On May 30, 1997, an agreement of cooperation between AG Romania and AG USA was signed. The key people used by God to form and develop AG Romania were Rev. Loren Triplett, Rev. Jerry Parsley, Rev. Bobby Beard, Rev. Tom Paino, Rev. Sam Johnson, and Rev. Robert Crabtree among many others.

Presently there are 53 churches, 60 ministers, and many preaching points.
