Update – November, 2025
My months go by like weeks! I can’t believe we are in November already! As usual the ministry is busy, busy, busy! In October, LFA has:
– bought all the legume (veggies) for our ‘kids’ at Barza Mica for the next six months – and to the tune of $6040.00!! God provided a miracle in supplying that total amount through a single donor. I, truly, stand amazed in His presence!
– visited Bradet and paid for heaters for Bradet (orphanage) where our ‘kids’ from Barza will be moved.
– paid for the monthly medicines again that increase in price monthly (both the meds and the price)
– bought two months worth of cleaning supplies for B. Mica
– took our ‘kids’ (from Barza) to McDonald’s – so much fun!!
– paid for sinks, showers, etc. at Albina where our ‘littles’ used to be and is now being re-purposed for handicapped adults, Ukrainian orphans, abused women and their children, and trafficked women and children.
– Robert and I took a trip to Victoria (orphanage) about an hour and a half from Brasov to look up some of our ‘kids’ from Barza who had been moved there several years ago. We just saw two – Moldovan and Claudiu. They are pretty severely mentally challenged, but what joy when I saw that they recognized me!
– about Alexia . . . I had the privilege of visiting her. She was in really good spirits – but will continue to have more operations on her legs and face. There is still no resolve as to what happened to this precious child – whether she jumped off the bridge, or was pushed off. PLEASE, just keep praying for Alexia – the whole family.
– went shopping with the director of our ‘littles’ case. Oh, my!! Did you ever known a shop-o-holic who just loves to spend money (lots) even when it is not their own?! I had to draw the line as to how much she could spend buying the ‘littles’ clothes, pajamas, winter hats, socks, etc. I was amazed! (and not in a good way!)
However, it is a JOY – always!! – to be our Jesus’ eyes and heart, hands and feet! (Matthew 25.40) THANK you – eternally – for coming along-side this precious one-of-a-kind ministry here in Romania!!
