  • Help for a young graduate

    Ana Maria left the orphanage this past June after living most of her life in a state-run orphanage. She had no proper work training or prospects for her life. Soon after that, at the age of 21, she found herself facing decisions she did not think she would have to so soon! No work, no stable place to stay, and pregnant with twins. We learned about her situation when she was already four months pregnant, and we decided to help her as soon as possible—as our biggest fear was that she would abandon her children and the circle of abandonment would repeat itself.

    With the help of our partners from Hands of Hope and people who love Ana Maria and want to see her become the woman God intended her to be, we are now able to pay for an apartment where Ana can stay and prepare for the birth of her two baby girls.

    It is still a long journey for Ana, but she knows she is loved and she wants to be a good mother for her girls!

  • Christmas 2012

    After one year of waiting expectantly, Christmas came for more than 300 orphan children and families in need from Mures county!

    We thank God for this beautiful and humbling adventure, for honoring us to be His hands and feet to His precious children. All of us involved in putting together the fun activities and parties for the children felt His presence. His joy increased in us with every smile from the children after opening their Christmas gift bag and looking up with big eyes as if they just discovered a great secret! What a treat it was to see their faces lightup when they saw the beautiful christmas dinner beeing put in front of them by people who were there just to serve them and love them. The joy and satisfaction after they did their performances for their friends and teachers was palpable in the room!

  • Harvest day games

    One hundred orphans, nine challenges, and lots of candy; what better way to spend an afternoon during fall brake! The children, young and old, had lots of fun running around from one challenge to another, trying to win as many pieces of candy as possible.


  • Girls mentoring group

    This fall, we started a mentoring group having in mind the older girls who are already finished with school and close to the next step—independent living or already in the midst of this process.

    The group gives them a safe place to come with their daily struggles, a place where they feel accepted,can share about life, and receive guidance and encouragement! One of the girls will have twins in a few months, so her struggles have to do with finding a safe place to stay and prepare for the arrival of her baby girls. Please keep these beautiful young women close to your hearts and in your prayers!

  • New school year

    Imola is the first to graduate high school and get into university from her generation. We are so proud of her. This October, she started her second year of college. She loves the school and the town she is in and this year, she was able to get herself a part-time job working at a local bakery. Imola is doing really well, and even though this year is much harder for her, she said she will do whatever it takes to get her diploma. We are so proud of her!
