Pastor Cristi: National Influence
Cristi, pastor of the Bucharest International Church (BIC), has had a friendship with the newly elected Romanian President, Dan Nicușor, for thirteen years. Because of their long-term relationship, Cristi was the only pastor asked to speak for 4 1/2 minutes in the lead-up speeches to the election. A week later Dan Nicușor won the national election and the presidency. On the night of Nicușor’s acceptance speech, the parties’ political manager, placed Pastor Cristi three persons to the right of the President.
