Update – June, 2026
– Great news! Lord wiling, I will head back to the ‘other’ land that I love on July 7, arriving in Brasov on July 8. My heart sings just thinking about it.
– I will be faced with many-a difficult situation particularly locating where some of our precious ‘kids’ have been moved. I do know that I will be doing some traveling, weekly, as some have been moved to orphanages rather far away.
– Please pray that it will be Christ in me Who will speak, deal with, and contend with this further abuse of our orphans. And please pray that we could gather some of our ‘kids’ back together. They are the only family they know!! And please pray that God will show me clearly exactly what it is that I am to be doing – what, if any, new responsibilities Love From Above may be taking.
– Because of the lack of funds, we were not able to make a trip to Ukraine in the month of May. My heart is saddened beyond words, but I just have to trust our Almighty God Who ‘does all things well’ that this was from His hand . . .
– The threat from Russia has gotten more real especially the last week of May when a Russian drone hit a bloc in the city of Galati in Southeastern Romania near the Danube Delta – and near the Ukrainian border. No one knows what the future holds for anyone, but the Romanians are deeply concerned!!
– If you remember the ‘love of my life’, Ioana who worked with me for six years, became an M.D. – and so sadly contracted Multiple Sclerosis – is now studying for her Ph.D! Amazing!! She is one bright ‘girl’ – never one to give up – and in her Christ-like spirit desires only to serve others. Also, it was while Ioana worked shoulder-to-shoulder with me, that Love From Above grew exponentially!
– Also, during the month of May, Ovi and Carmen celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary! I SO wish I could have been there for the celebration!
– Thank you, as always, for coming along-side me in this one-of-a-kind ministry to the precious helpless and the hopeless in Romania. May our Lord bless you double-fold!!
