Summer 2022

Wow! Another summer in Romania flew by! I came to Romania for the first time 25 years ago this summer! Can you believe it! I think back to all of the summers and teams and special moments in those 25 summers and I feel so overwhelmed and blessed by all of the amazing people that I've met, extrordianry events that I've lived, and so many children that I've loved. What a Great God we serve and what an honor it has been and continues to be to be part of this ministry! The summer of 2022 again was an exceptional one! For the first time in 3 years we were able to have summer minstry teams of volunteers come and serve along side of us. We had an amazing team from Mountain View Church from Ramona, CA help us for the first two weeks of camp and then 4 other indivduals come and help for the remaining weeks. All in all we had four weeks of various types of camps.

The Mountain View Team planned a VBS/Day Camp style of curriculum that we used with younger kids from the Rosiori area. The theme was Living Courageously and we used a Circus theme. It was so well done! The H2H staff was very impressed and it made our jobs easier!

Heather, the leader of the Mountain View team, and I had a lot it common. The way we organize, lead, and think were similar in many ways. We also shared the excitement and exhaustion after two packed weeks!

Here are a few other favorite photos from the summer! As you can see we were also able to take kids to the pool at Pipera and to a climbing wall center in Bucuresti and many other fun moments!

Thank you for all of your prayers and support that went into sharing the love of God with the children and youth of Romania!!
