I trust that you all had a wonderful Christmas!  A Christmas full of the celebration of Christ, the Savior.  It seems as though I barely had time to get used to writing 2018, and here it is 2019, already!  The last month of 2018 was productive for our Lord’s work through Love From Above in Romania.

“A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.”  – Proverbs 18.16

Love From Above continued with the purchase of prescription and OTC meds in November for our babies and ‘kids’.  We also bought a door for a building we are renovating on the same property as Barza Mica.  This building will be used for storage, and a place for our ‘kids’ to go while we do our crafts, stories, music, etc.  The workers at Barza have been hard at work repairing the building, including a partial new roof.

I praise God for a safe and uneventful trip back to the States on October 10.  How difficult to leave our precious babies and ‘kids’, though!  Please pray over these cast-off ones for their angels to be so close to them, to protect them and shelter them from the cruelty of the orphanage workers.

Praising God that after 5 weeks of a serious sinus infection, natural meds that my beloved (now, Dr.) Ioana who worked with me for over six years, and all your prayers completely healed me.  (I love it that the Lord gave us natural products of the earth to keep our health in tow.)

“For the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.”  – Psalm 9.18

In spite of a month-long sinus infection, and on-going problems with the Romanian government, there was much to rejoice over, and give the Lord ‘thanks with all my heart’ for in the month of August!  Once again, it was great joy for LFA to be able to give Pastor Ovi his financial support.  Please – if any of you who are not already giving a monthly support for Ovi and his family, it would be deeply appreciated . . . !
