Other Spring News!
In addition to the Spring Team, we've have some other things we've been up to!
The H2H family continues to grow! I mentioned that during the Spring Team we had a baby shower for Mariana Patrascu. We also celebrated, with our Alpha Omega Church family, a baby shower for Marius and Adriana. They were married here at the Team House a year ago, and it is so fun and exciting to continue to walk alongside of their family!
You’ve probably heard me talking about the fact that in the past few years there have been quite large changes in the orphanage system here. The goal of the government is to shut down all of the large institutional facilities and move kids into smaller, more family style homes. Many of our kids have been moved around and we are doing our best to continue to visit them no matter where they land. We were able to visit a new facility to see 5 of our kids. It was so amazing to see them and how much they've grown. Plus, make connections and hopefully open the door to future collaboration.
Our Snagov house continues to house Ukrainian refugees. The number has reduced and right now we have 2 families there. This means three women and 10 children! We do a variety of activities there, but are very excited to have found a woman, who speaks Russian, that will be going 1-2 times a week to teach Romanian and Bible lessons.
We are preparing for summer ministry! We are very excited that we have 2 teams that will be coming this summer with about 30 volunteers! One of my big jobs is to figure out the logistics of this time and establish a schedule. The staff is also working on the curriculum for summer camps. We are using the theme that We are Lights in the World, with the idea that our faith can bring light into dark places. We are going to use the setting of caves and the last team helped us finish painting our club to look like a cave!
