Romania is situated on the western shore of the Black Sea.  It is bordered by Bulgaria to the south, Serbia to the southwest, Hungary to the northwest, Moldova to the northeast, and by Ukraine.  Romania enchants visitors with its scenic mountain landscapes and unspoiled countryside areas, its historic cities, and busy capital.  The largest tourist draw is the area of Transylvania and it’s connection to the story of Dracula.

 

Facts:

  • Its capital is Bucharest
  • The official language is Romanian
  • The population is approx. 19 million
  • 87% of the population declare themselves as Orthodox Christians
  • Approximately 7.9 million people a year visit Romania

 

This month me and my team are praying for Romania in preparation for our journey there.  If you would like to pray with us please check out my Praying for Romania  blog.
