The Church of Christ in Bucharest recently hosted a national conference celebrating the 20th anniversary of the beginning of churches of Christ in Romania. The Bucharest congregation was the first church planted in the country—in 1991 shortly after the violent revolution that overthrew the communist government and resulted in the execution of their dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu.
There are now 22 active churches of Christ in Romania. WEI has played a major and influential role in the planting and growth of many of those churches.
