"LIGHT & WATER"
In March, 2016 we were able to spend couple days visiting the widows, and families in their poverty, in the villages near Negresti Vaslui, Romania. Children need education, school supplies and a good pair of shoes so they can walk couple miles every day to the closest school, but when they return home there is where their real life is. There is no water, not enough food, and no electricity or fire wood during cold winter days at home. So then we stared to put first things first. We did our homework and we found out that to bring water in a small village will cost about #1,000. Also, it will cost about the same for a family to install electricity in their home. If you feel led to DONATE click "MORE', then "DONATE" on our website page.

"ADOPT A FAMILY"
We are sending PACKS with essential clothing and new shoes to help children have a "close to normal" life. As we spent some time getting to know the Romanian families, we were also able to record the names of the children, date of birth and their needs so that we can follow up with them.
We work closely with churches in Romania. After we leave, parents (with no jobs) and single mothers are also instructed and helped by Pastor Marica and his wife Cecilia, on how to plant a garden, men are given jobs so they can sustain their families. Families that receive Jesus in their life get transportation to church and they are kept accountable by Pastor Marica. We are also helping on building or repair homes, buying a animal (goat or a cow) so a family will have milk. Usually the children in the house get assigned the chore of grass-feeding the family's animal. That way everyone take part.
Throughout the year we continue to help the families of the churches we visited through the church pastors. If you want to "ADOPT A FAMILY" by sending them PACK please know that we will be sending PACKSs of very good clothes, shoes, school supplies and hygienic supplies only two times per year due to very expensive Shipping and Handling, but we are buying food every month as the Lord provides. You can use "DONATE" section and/or send us a an interest message with your phone number to let us know how you want to "ADOPT A FAMILY" and one of our board members will contact you.
