Our Youth Bible Curriculum project in Romania is conducted in partnership with World Vision Romania. The project was established in 2001 to assist the Christian Church in Romania in the teaching of its children through quality Bible materials and teacher training resources.

In this year we made serious effort to popularizing and propagate the project in country by training sessions. The beneficiaries were priests who work in parishes where we are doing the trainings and religion teachers from the schools in their area.
