In the year of 1991 took place the first Christian camp at Voronet, supported by the Crusades organization. On the day of 10 august there was a spiritual awakening, a lot of children and teenagers receiving Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. The work in Romania was coordinated from the beginning by Liviu Cozmiuc, the director of the Cristia Association. The activities of the summer Christian camps continued through the following years, new camp centers were started at Padurea Neagra- Bihor, Lacu Rosu-Neamt, Cheia- Prahova, Navodari and many other places. From the year of 1995 Cristia was registered officialy as a youth association, extending the activities through the project of Bible clubs. It also started collaboration with other Christian organizations as C. R. I. and sponsoring the orphan children from the orphanages. Through these activities hundreds or even thousands of children, teenagers and youth got to know our Savior Jesus Christ. These activities were possible because of the support given by the Crusades organization, represented by a experimented leader, Malcolm Langton.
At the beginning of the year 2000, through the leaving of Liviu Cozmiuc in the USA, Corneliu Clipa was elected as the general director.
In the year of 2001 Cristia Youth Association celebrated 10 years of activity in the ministry for the new generation, occasion through which a lot of members were present from all over Romania and abroad.
