Thankful for participating in VBS at church June 28,29,30!!
We were able to take 4-5 kids from Gârcina each day and learned about the parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. I had crafts for the preschoolers! 👌 About 20 kids total, 6 were preschool. Fun games! Fun time! 🌵🤠🎉☀️
Outlaws redeemed!

At Biserica Baptista Sfânta Treime in Piatra Neamț https://biserica-sfantatreime.ro/
We started our Hope study the end of September in the village of Gârcina and finished just before Christmas. Usually 2-4 kids come, fewer than in the summer, but we are glad for their consistency. We heard about Noah, Joseph, Moses, King David, & Jesus and their individual callings to give hope in the world. One of the lessons was on sins and we played a game with words of good things/ bad things. Sometimes we have a craft. They always want to read our loud from the books. Love their enthusiasm. Thank you for your prayers for them! 🙏😃⛪️
So far in children’s program this fall in the village of Garcina, we’ve learned about David & Goliath, David & Jonathan, & David the writer of the Psalms. Today we had three new kids! Six total. Smaller numbers than past years but persevering for their benefit. Pray for the children to have patience, understanding, & a listening heart

Video from our week of VBS in the summer, together with our church Biserica Crestina Baptista “Sfanta Treime” in Piatra Neamt.
Vacation Bible school at our church was a hit!
We chose to do this ministry this year instead of having two camps like in previous years, because there hasn’t been VBS in a number of years at our church, Biserica Baptista Sfanta Treime. We learned about the Kingdom of Heaven with parables from Matthew 13 with children ages 5-15. Overall we met with 140 kids during the week. Each morning we held a program at the church for two hours with church kids and orphanage kids, between 40-50 kids each day. Each afternoon we went to a different village with a smaller Baptist church and shared our message. The villages we went to were BARGAUANI, ROMAN, POIENI, GARCINA, and BODESTI. Between 10-60 kids. Every night we did something special with the youth group too, from Biserica Baptista in Piatra Neamt and our guest Bob Webb gave talks on the theme. The kids had a fun time learning about pirates , treasure, and saving for the Kingdom of Heaven! 
~Pray for Youth Camp in two weeks as we take 70 youth from our church and surrounding area. Psalm 119:105 “Thy Word is a lamp to my feet and a light unto my path.” Praise the Lord because we have all our kids sponsored. Thanks! Xx
Just got back from our Children’s Camp August 21-25 in Brasov, Romania !! 🇷🇴🏞
Was good weather, mostly well behaved, and we had fun! We had 20 kids and 15 adults, half of leaders making the food and half of them providing activities for the kids. We stayed in a old house that was used as a Bible training school, in the small town of Rotbav, which is next to historic city of Brasov, Romania. The house is now converted for groups to stay. We had four days at the camp, some days were spent at the camp and some we toured sites in the area. We were able to visit the fortress of Rasnov and historic lived-in fortress of Sighisoara. Daily lessons were on Moses, the Great Leader! The kids learned a lot about the burning bush, God’s plan, the plagues, and 10 commandments! The kids enjoyed the lessons, games with leader Edy, and a cool song about crocodiles in the Nile. 👍 Thank you all for the prayers! 🏞😎☀️👴🏻
International Children’s Day is on June 1! Today we had an event with 25 children in the Elena Doamna orphanage and tomorrow we have another event where we have a weekly village program. We’ve done like we have in years past, with a BBQ cookout, games, and time in the sun.
Pray for tomorrow’s event, as we have invited the parents of children who come to our program, also brothers and sisters from the church, that it will be a good turnout and if we have opportunity to speak of God, that we would speak clearly. Thank you for your prayers.
Today’s event went well, good turnout, kids behaved well, no injuries, even the weather was nice! God was with us and gave us grace! 👍
Hello!
Things have been going well in the village kids club in the village of Garcina, as well as the rest of our routine. In our kids club, we have been using the Samaritan’s Purse 12-lesson plan called “The Greatest Journey” workbooks, which we introduced last August in Children’s camp. Its got puzzles & questions that are fun! We have now reached the end of the lessons, as sometimes the lessons took more than one week to digest because they’re chock full of stuff, and now we can get ready for a diploma ceremony! We will be rewarding those who remember the most verses and facts through the workbooks, as well as having a celebratory meal to celebrate all of the participants, where we invite the parents. Each week we have seen 15-20 of our kids, so these studies really attract them and pull them into the fun of learning! Be praying for the event, which will take place on March 11.
Here are some pictures of our 2017 gatherings in kids’ club!
Singing together! Saturday Jan 28.
Saturday, Feb 4.
In March, we kept up with our routine – and me being 6 1/2 months pregnant, I was still able to participate 🙂
We went two Saturdays to the Elena Doamna Orphanage and two Saturdays to the Ion Creanga Orphanage, and every Wednesday held our Village kids club in Garcina where approx. 10-15 kids who live there came and participated. At all these meetings, we sing, have a relevant story, play group games, and have a neat craft. We are learning the Easter story at the orphanages, and Moses & the Exodus with Garcina.
