Update – July, 2025
I’ve recently booked my tickets from Boston to Bucharest for July 5, 2025. It seems like much longer than just a little over two months since I left the ‘other’ land that I love. It has been a busy couple of months for Love From Above both in the States and in Romania. A really special and much needed time was a week and a half spent in Georgia to attend my beautiful granddaughter’s high school graduation – and ultimately have a mini-family reunion.
Concerning Romania — Several years ago, the director of our large orphanage had a long bout with cancer. The cancer has come back full force with tumors on her ovaries, uterus, lungs and throat. It seems that if our Great Physician doesn’t heal her, the outlook is grim. Her doctor said the most significant tumor was on her throat. She has had that removed with ‘no little trouble’ in stopping the bleeding – and she is not to use her voice for several weeks. The Romanian woman who works with me told me that the director has already been back to Barza Mica to work!! Please pray with me for her healing – AND her spiritual healing!
Our Romanian pastors made another successful trip to Ukraine and back. The situation there with Kharkiv’s being bombed 3 weeks ago has forced our dear friends to live in underground bunkers. PLEASE pray for these men who live only to serve others – for their safety – and for their continued opportunities to share our Jesus with the Ukrainians.
We have continued to supply food, meds and other needs to our precious orphans, both our ‘littles’ and our ‘kids’. After finally getting the proper paper work to enter the orphanages, it will seem so good to return to jud. Brasov and freely enter the orphanages to be with our precious thrown-away, discarded, unloved, uncared for, abused ones!!
I would appreciate prayer for a safe, uneventful trip back to the ‘other’ land that I love. And please pray for those taking me to Logan on July 5 – and those ‘fetching’ me in Bucharest a day later.
I love it that the Lord leads us to – ‘Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.’ – Psalm 82.3
