Romania

I was not prepared for what I was to see in this country. I knew that communism had gripped the country for decades but the broken spirit in the eyes of the people was very deep and they seemed very hopeless. It was hard ministering in this type of atmosphere but the one thing you learn is that God is faithful.

The orphanages that we ministered in would break your heart. The children where unkept and unloved. I reached out and lifted one of them to hug them and he froze like a board. He had no concept of affection. I called Cherrie and told her I wanted bring home a bus full of the children. We prayed for the kids and left toys for them trusting that what little love we could give, God would multiply in their hearts and lives.
