Update on Mia

 in Health / Mia / Prayer  tagged Bucharest / health / Mia's Children / ministry / prayer by

Please continue to pray for Mia. She has returned from Italy and is doing fine. The trip went safely and was informative, but now she will need further testing and possibly more medical attention later.

We’re sorry we can’t give more details but we want to wait until we know with more certainty what is afflicting her and what will need to be done.

In the meantime, we ask for your prayers in three ways:

  • For Mia to be encouraged and sustained through this process.
  • For Mia’s health to be restored in the coming days.
  • That God would grant strength and wisdom to Costi, Oana, and the rest of the staff and volunteers at Mia’s Children who have been helping Mia shoulder the burden in the past few weeks.

Thank you for your support! If you would like to send a message to Mia or to Mia’s Children and want to make sure it gets to them, just leave a message in the comments and we’ll pass it along.

Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything.
But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”
Luke 5:5

Lord, you created us to be workers, even when work is hard to find. Please provide work for the young people from Mia’s Children who are moving into life on their own. Use them in the Romanian workforce to bless the nations. And show your comfort and provision to those close to us who are also in need of work. Amen.

Mia is flying to Milan today to see a doctor about some problems with her ear that might be very complicated. She has seen numerous doctors in Romania to no avail, and now she has the chance to get a firm diagnosis through a specialist.

Our great thanks to friends from Switzerland who took it upon themselves to find a doctor and fly her to Italy!

Please pray that the doctors will know what to do and how to help her. Please also pray for Costi and Oana – Mia’s son and daughter-in-law – as they temporarily lead the mission while Mia is away.

Mia is in great spirits. She writes, “Through faith we are confident that His plan for us is beyond what we can imagine, and even through pain and suffering His glory is perfect.”

Please pray for Mia Scarlat as she battles some health problems right now that might be serious. She has recently gone in for some tests and is waiting for results.

We expect to have more details very soon and will keep you posted.

  • Please pray that God will grant Mia health and allow her to continue her work with the children in Bucharest.
  • Pray that she will get much-needed rest and be free of worry as she waits on God to reveal His plan.
  • Pray for wise and discerning doctors.
  • Pray for Costel as he supports his wife even while struggling with his own health.
  • And pray for the children, that God will encourage them and give them peace.

Thank you for joining with us in supporting Mia.

Mia’s Children

Italian-Romanian Cuisine at Mia’s Children

A few weeks ago Giorgio, an Italian friend of the organization, stopped by Mia’s Children for an authentic Italian dinner. He brought pasta, tomatoes, cheese, meat, and other ingredients along with him.

The children who could be there enjoyed learning how to cook from him and especially liked practicing their Italian and English speaking. Some of the kids could translate what he taught them, but even with translation, Mia reports a dinner of half Italian and half Romanian food!

After the cooking, the group got a chance to pray together, and then have dinner.

Thanks, Giorgio, for the food and good time!

Calling All Churches!

Does your church host a missions fair each year?

How about a missions committee?

Or maybe a prayer team?

At Mia’s Children, we are always looking for new ways to tell people about all of the wonderful things God is doing in Romania.

No matter where you’re located, we’d love to give your church more information. We’d be glad to send a representative to speak to churches, committees, or at missions fairs about Mia’s Children and the desperate needs of young people in Romania.

Even if your event is a long time from now, we want to hear about it and plan ahead!

So contact us at info@miaschildren.org or on Facebook, and let’s plan a visit together!
