Boys Transition Program Starts Again!

This September, we were able to restart the Boys Transition Program. Nicu and Melissa Perghel have taken the reins as the new program administrators. We are starting small with two young men. Both of these guys, Iuli and Andrei, come from the Peris orphanage and we've been working with them since they were little boys. They got moved into the Boys' house in Nenciulesti in September and are getting used to the new routine and program. So far things have gone really well. We are excited to see how God works in their lives in this coming year!

September!!

Wow! What a busy month September was! We finished up summer activities and transitioned into fall. I'd been wanting to try a big H2H fundraiser, a garage sale and bake sale, and it finally seemed possible with covid restrictions lifted and scheduling. Everyone on the staff and from my local church pitched in and the weekend was a great success. A lot off work, but I was very pleased with the results!

Schools started here on September 13th. Ruthie is in 5th grade this year and Karla and Daria started kindergarten.

This school year I'll be teaching two different classes at Peris and then doing my normal helping out for special events at the Rosiori apartments. I was able to get started in September and am enjoying my classes.

The highlight of the month was some special visitors! Kelly Pankratz, one of my high school youth sponsors and spiritual mentors and Maryn Robson came for a visit. We were able to visit most of our ministry locations, plus we spent a few days seeing some of the beauty of Romania. This was like water to my soul and was a great time of refreshment and encouragement. Unfortunately, not all of the pictures can be duplicated in this format, but trust me it was a terrific time. Kel was also able to bring some goodies from Buhler MB. Thanks everyone for all of the love!
