Oh, my! Fall set in real quick here in Romania. I’ve had to turn on the heat! I’m not complaining, really – but we have had rain, rain, and more rain. All through October (and at least half of September), it’s rained for a week or more every day – and then, one day of sunshine – and then more than a week of rain (repeat, repeat . . . ) Here’s where the gratitude comes in, though. All this rain could have been snow! Yikes!!
Robert, Corina and I have made another trip to Ucea de Jos to see Amalia, Khersty, Mihaela – and two other girls. We had a wonderful visit with them. Each time, Amalia, Khersty, and Mihaela are beyond delighted to have us come for a visit. Lord willing, I will make one more trip there this month before returning to Massachusetts.
It’s been fun, too, to make all kinds of yummy snacks for our ‘kids’ – both at Barza Mica and Bradet. They absolutely loved lemon pudding with Hu-la-la (spray cream) on top -– and chocolate-filled croissants were a big hit!
Once again – as we have every Fall for the past many, many years, LFA has managed to buy all the legume (vegetables) for Barza Mica (and now, Bradet, also) – enough to last into Spring! The legume include potatoes, carrots and onions. I trust that all you ‘givers’ know how important you are to these precious ‘broken reeds’ created in the image of our Jesus!
Also, LFA bought ‘tons’ of meds for our ‘littles’ at Ana si Eva! I’ve loved ministering to these precious little ones again – especially to Valentin and Gabriela. They cannot move, are blind, but react when they hear my voice – with Valentin smiling from ear to ear! I adore them . . .
Our men, once again, are on another mission to Ukraine. They are still there even as I write this. They will again distribute ‘tons’ of food and other supplies (largely supported by LFA) and equally as important, spiritual ‘food’. PLEASE pray for our men. They are in grave danger in this war-torn, constantly bombed country. Pray, please for our Ukrainian Brothers and Sisters in Christ – and for those who don’t know Him, to surrender their lives to Him.
Mark 10.45 – “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,” How can we do any less??
First of all, I praise God for a safe, uneventful trip back to MA this past Thursday, March 24. I am happy, too, to let you know that little Karol from Albina Orphanage had his heart operation and at least at this point, it seems very successful. The workers were having a bit of a…
What a joy to be writing this update from the ‘other land that I love ‘! I thank God for an uneventful trip here, for Ovi’s promptness in picking me up at the airport on February 10, and for Ovi’s having checked out my apartment before arriving to make sure everything was working properly. I’m…
Lord willing, I will be headed back to ‘the other land that I love’ February 9 – returning to the States March 24. I have much ahead of me to get accomplished while there, and am eager to see what-all the needs are for Love From Above to provide for Albina and Barza Mica Orphanages…
Just a few updates and how the Lord blessed during the month of December. First of all, I mentioned last month that if all went well, the doors and windows would be installed in Canaan, our church for the Gypsies. It is with great joy that I can tell you that they have all been…
The past month has been busy and productive for LFA. We shipped nearly 400 pounds of warm winter clothing and shoes to Barza Mica (orphanage), and the two villages, Halchiu and Bahnea. We were able to send money to help a young mother who has just contracted Hepatitis B get the meds she needs. It…
In the three-plus weeks I have been back in the States, God has been faithfully moving in the ministry. The roof is completed on Canaan, the church in Halchiu! Praise God! And, last month I said that we had ordered the doors and windows for Canaan on faith. Well, a church that has had long-term…
I went for a walk a little after 6:00 this morning back here in Norton (MA), shed some tears thinking of the beautiful snow-capped Carpathian Mts. (Transylvanian Alps) that I had left behind, and my babies and ‘kids’, and dear friends . . . But mostly, I thanked the Lord for all that He had…
