Finished deputation, back in Romania 🇷🇴

Glad to be back in Gârcina weekly. 🥰✨ We arrived in Ro July 10 and glad to be getting back to projects. We will start a theme eventually, but just to get back in the groove in the village we played games & talked about what we can learn from the Apostle Paul and the quality of generosity. 🙏🙌🥰

First time back at the Ion Creanga Orphanage on 16 July Lucian had a pizza party for them! The kids were glad he was back and ready for the weekly program! 🤓📚🥰

A joint VBS for these groups is set for Aug 24-26. 🥳🙏🦩

Kids clubs in 2022! 🥳🤗🙏

This year in 2022 we are basing our lessons on the Gospel of Matthew. So far at the Ion Creanga Orphanage and in the village of Garcina, we’ve had messages on God’s protection during Herod’s acts of jealousy, on Jesus’ baptism, Jesus’ temptation, and the Beatitudes (Mt 2-5). The kids are really good & listening and answering all the questions really well😊👍 -that’s a bonus!😅🙏 they really like the games we play too; we’ve been having some creative ones!🥳

School supplies donation! 🏫🥳

Thank you Grace Community Church of Willow Street PA for the school supplies!! 🤗🎊🖌📒✏️

We appreciate💡how you mobilized the church combined with your summer VBS to gather needed items!! We handed out 15 bags to the children in the village of Garcina along with a donation of clothes from MBK on Friday December 31 and Friday Jan 21. We shared 7 bags with children in the village of Bargauani on Sat January 22. We have more bags to hand out. They will be put to good use! Thank you! Be blessed!

Christmas boxes in the village of Garcina! 🎁🎄

On Wednesday December 22 we held a Christmas party in the village of Gârcina where 25 people were in attendance👍☺️ heard the message of the joy of Jesus, and played some games! We were happy to share shoebox gifts with the children present and a big bag of dry goods to each family from the youth of our church!
We are so proud of the youth for their initiative in creating this food drive for those less fortunate!! 🥰🙏

Biserica Crestina Baptista “Sfanta Treime” youth group made the sacks of dry goods.
Thank you to all who made a shoebox!
Pics of each child with their box are towards the end..

First week back in the State Orphanage! 🥳🙌

20. 11. 2021

🥳🙏⚽️

Opportunity has opened for us to go back to the Ion Creanga Orphanage in our city with a weekly children’s program. 🤗 This orphanage was closed to visitors for the past year so we hadn’t been to see them since Oct 2020. We have had programs with them previously for three consecutive years.
There were close to 20 kids on Saturday, we played games with them, told a story and shared some updates for planning for Christmas. (We will be going with Christmas shoeboxes from our sponsors) The room was filled with enthusiasm to see us again; three had been to camp in the summer & are doing good. Keep praying for their salvation 🤗 🙌 👍⚽️

First week back in the village!🥳🍕👍

19. 11. 2021 😌🌲 👼
We were back in the village of Garcina with a children program after a hiatus of 5 months! 🥳✨

For our first meeting we had 10 kids turn out! Many of them have been before; one new but some hadn’t seen in a few years 🙌

We played some games, sang some songs, ate pizza 🍕, and spoke about plans for a Christmas program.

It was good to see these kids after a long break! Pray for us as we work together to present a Christmas program.😌🙏🌲
