AUGUST IN BUCHAREST

August 24, 2008

Dear family ,
Hello from Mia’s Children! Hope and pray that everything it’s Okay, under the covering of God, His total protection and love! We pray for each of you, for your steps and for blessings, especially for the ellections!

Here it’s so hot , but the kids have fun in the blue small swimming pool. Our garden keeps growing; the cabages are so beautiful and we have 3 pumpkins in front garden . Patsy and her friends planted there. The plants are growing and invaded our garden. In the nights, we stay there and the kids love to listen stories, to sing Christians songs, to pray .

Tuesday, we had the visit of a group of Margareta, Princess of Romania Foundation. They will sponsor Marinela for 2 years for Stilist school. They are very impressed by the special results we have with our children. They want to help us to have a camp! So, Monday they asked us to go and sign a Contract/Agreement with them and they asked us to make a project for summer camp. They’ll give, at least, 80% from the total costs, for 10 days, for 31-32 people in a camp; we’ll have to cook, to do all by ourself, as usually, to keep the cost as low as it’s possible God is so, so good!

We’ll go with most of the smaller kids, because many of the older are working. I’ll have to cook, but the kids will have a special time, just before the school. The school will start on the 15th of September. Gabriela and Mihaela will be in the first grade! We need to make ready everybody for school year. We’ll be in the camp, with God’s grace, between 28 of August and 7 of September. The kids are so happy !

Marius will enter at the Art Academy, with no money, because he has the Diploma, for Olympics contest! This it’s such a blessing! We need to help him for art supplies, but we’ll not pay the school taxes!

It might be possible that the same Foundation to sponsor 3, maybe 4 children for kindergarten! They are very touch by our work; they have a day center in some places from Romania, and it’s possible to go and visit one, after school starts .

Your with all my love and appreciation ,
Mia and all


July 08 from Mia and the kids

August 22, 2008

Beloved Friends of Mia’s Children ,

We give thanks to the Lord for the wonderful month of July .We remembered 10 years ago when we first time started to work with underprivileged children , in front of our block of flats .
Like now , it was so hot , but a lot of darkness around , many hostile people.
A small group of dirty children , wild , frighten , finding for the first time a special type of love , Agapae love , coming from our Saviour . The first meeting under the free sky , first toys , lessons , first time when they found the Love , the Peace , the Light , the Care , the Prayer , the Hope , the Faith and so many others ;they found You ,and 10 years of changed life . What a blessing for each of them and for each of us !To serve the Lord through the little ones , to meet His godly commands , to be part from such a wonderful story of real life , to walk through Faith with God making His will , what else can be more important in our life ?
We are so , so grateful for every moment , for each step, for every person God allowed to meet in our travel , changing and turning life from darkness to the light . All the glory , gratefulness , all the praises be to The Lord for all and everything , for 10 years of Life !
Right now , we cannot be so much afraid by the many difficulties we have in our lives , because , looking back we can appreciate so many victories !
Even the life it’s so hard , the economy it’s so much under the standards and many people and children are living in poverty , even the costs are too high for what we have and what we need , we keep going with so many children ,feeding them , trying to make them a future . We have the first fruits , already :all the teenagers found a place to work over the summer and Marian , Mihaela , Gigi , Bigo , Claudia , Costy have a stable place to work in . They will continue to study , as much as they can , but there are some of the children we took care across the ten years !
I wish , one day we’ll write the story of each of them ;it might be possible to encourage other children , other people from other parts of the world . letting them to know how children from a country like Romania could find life with the help and care of Americans !
In time when all our older children are working , we cook together the little ones ,take care by the vegetables from our garden , clean the house . It’s a lot of work to do , it’s a lot of joy here , but we are tired and really need helpers .Luminita , the mother of 4 children is helping a lot , but even so , we really need helpers . When the school year will start , we’ll have to focus on the children going in the first grade , Mihaela and Gabriela , plus on the kindergarten children , besides of the older children .
We had a small party with pastor Dwight and the young people from the church where our children said psalms , sang Christian songs . It was a blessed time of prayer , too .
Our prayer request :
-As we don’t have any new about the place , the home where we’ll have to go . Please ,pray that God will show us His will and we’ll have a home for the kids ;
-pray for Joan and Darrell and their journey through the politic circumstances ;may God make His will in all the time and protect them , close them with the holly wisdom and vision for America ;
-pray for Costel’s health and mine as well ;
pray for Nicoleta’s and Coca’s surgeries;
-pray for the power of dollars versus euro;
-pray for sponsors and for our friends who help us herein Romania or in USA
-pray that if will be God’s will to have a time of refreshing in a small camp , even for 3 days with the little ones , as this year we don’t have any sponsor for a camp.
-pray for our finance and for workers with us , for a cook .
-pray that the older children will cover the new situations in their jobs.
We thank you to all for your donations , for support , for help , for your prayers and special friendship we have through you .
Blessings ,
Mia’s

This summer, we don’t have any camp, even we are still praying about. It is a lot of work: to clean, to cook, to teach, to wash, to keep the cabbages up in the garden. But, the kids have a lot of joy. We had a programe at the church with Pastor Dwight’s group and his pastor from USA’s church.

Yesturday we had a very special visit from Margareta Principess Foundation. This is our king’s daughter, They want to sponsor Marinela for the skill school after the high school. Also, we try to find a sponsor for Marius for Art Academy. They also will try to sponsor for kindergarden 2 children. They were very touch by the work we do, very appreciative, which mean a lot! They are looking after kids with good results and they consider our association to be very special!
