A most Blessed and Happy New Year to you!  I can hardly believe I am writing ‘2020’!  I look forward to all that our most High CEO, CFO, CIO, COO (and more) has for Love From Above in the new year.  But first of all a few highlights from December, 2019 — LFA was able,…

God’s blessings were on us during the month of November, as always. Ovi (our pastor, Ovidiu Starlici) delivered the rest of the 5000kg of potatoes, 2000kg of onions, and 2000kg of carrots to Barza Mica.  Praise God!  However, I got an urgent message from the director of the orphanage, that our orphans had no food…

The trip is always long and grueling, but I am so very thankful to have made it back to the States from Romania without incident on October 4.  The three months in RO was jam-packed with a lot of accomplishments, much joy – and some sorrow. In October, Love From Above once again was able…

Have to start with a biggie!!  We prayed all summer for a van to transport children to Children’s Church at Canaan on Saturday, folks to church Sunday morning, and teens to church on Sunday evening. With nothing short of a miracle, all the funds needed for a van were presented to Ovi (Starlici) our pastor…

August!  Such a hot month in Romania!  Day after day after day in the high 90’s.  Activities had to be planned around the intense heat especially for our ‘kids’ at Barza Mica.  We have a sweet new girl at Barza, Cristiana.  She is 19, mentally and emotionally challenged, but ever so sweet!  Because she has…

I feel so completely blessed to be here in ‘the other land that I love’ once again.  What a privilege that the Lord ‘assigned me this work to the ‘least of these’ – to ‘consider the helpless’ in His stead – in Jesus’ name.  Did you know that it has been nineteen years since I…

Lord willing, I get to return to ‘the other land that I love’ July 6 for another three months.  As my kids at Barza Mica sit on the rock wall most of the day watching planes go overhead wondering if one is going to be the one to bring Mama Dawn back, I long even…

Just a word to thank all the pray-ers over the ministry.  Your prayers are the ‘glue’ that hold Love From Above (and me!) together.  Thank you to all who faithfully support LFA.  Without your giving, there would be no ministry in Romania to ‘the least of these’/’the helpless’ – our precious orphans – and the…

I am so very grateful to the Lord to have had another uneventful trip back to the States on April 3 from my beloved Romania.  As a matter of fact, the plane from the Netherlands to Boston was nearly empty.  The few of us could spread out wherever we wanted to.  I could get spoiled…

March was a busy month.  Lots of snow – a broken down laptop – a broken down car – but some really good things, too!
