You showed love through your giving and prayer to countless number of people. And for that we are thankful. When a person is faced with a life of aban-donment, lack of safety, nurture, daily food, cold days and nights it is hard to be-lieve that this person will not turn into a selfish being. But that is not the case with many of the beneficiaries of the love you showed them through this ministry.

Maria, Ana and Mia are just a few recipi-ents of your love and care. They grew up in an orphanage during the 80’s and early 90’s in Romania. It was the worst possible time for a child to be born. The Ceausescu tyrannical regime did very little to keep these children alive. They were corralled in large institutions with very few employees that did not pro-vide the basic food for survival. Some of the children looked similar to the Ho-locaust survivors when the American military freed them from the extermi-nation camps.

Mia BurceaEvery day at the orphanage, I walked around pretending. My biggest desire was for a family with Mommy and Daddy, with brothers and sisters. Now, I have lots of small brothers and sisters to love on at the hospital!

Maria, Ana and Mia were part of that group of children that survived when they came in contact with our ministry. We tried to provide for them the necessities for life through the donations we received, but most of all, because of our part-nership, you were able to provide continuous love, care, nurture and encouragement.

Because of the love you showered on Maria, Ana and Mia they did not turn into selfish beings living for themselves,

Benefactors like you make this possible every day. Thank you. And now we’re ready to help more orphans this spring.

but to the contrary, they began to share the love they found with the orphan children abandoned like them-selves, at the local Children’s Hospital. Each and every day they go to the hospital rejoicing, knowing that their acts of charity are impacting those that lay otherwise hopelessly waiting for someone to notice them and love on them. Maria, Ana and Mia are like chariots of fire that do not tire but for the last 16 years are sharing

Cornel BucurLeft Romania before the fall of communism thinking that he will never come back. Now, he is able to share the love of Christ with those that are abandoned, the poor and the lost.

Thank you for making this venture of faith possible.

all around the love of the Christ that saved them while at an Orphan Summer camp you enable us to put to-gether. Every since 1995 we ran camps for the orphans with a desire to capture young heats with God’s love so that those who experience ministry and love will become servants themselves. How can we thank you enough for your giving and for your prayers?

Those that experienced your love in action did not become selfish creatures but God’s love transformed

them into sacrificial servants. That is the power of God’s love in action. As you give each month, you give hope to young lives. Maria, Ana and Mia are just three beautiful examples of the power of your love in action. Please continue to invest in the lives of these orphan children.

Sincerely yours,

Cornel Bucur
