Elohim - God Our Creator

Tuesday, June 25th. We started our day by visiting a juvenile prison. We visited the girls side of the prison. It was a sweet time with the girls. They shared some songs that they have learned through the Harmony program led by Doru and his wife Rodica. Several members of our group shared encouraging words with the girls and prayed for them. After visiting the prison we picked up supplies at a local school to distribute to a few families that are involved in the Back to School program. This program encourages families to keep their children in school and as a result of them attending school they are provided with food and basic supplies. We visited three homes and distributed the supplies and food. The moms and children were very sweet and welcoming, we visited with each family briefly and prayed over them. Through these 2 visits, we were able to see other ministries that are funded by MLI. In the afternoon we had a wonderful lunch prepared by the girls and house mom at Deborah House 2. After lunch we had time of Bible study and crafts. We are teaching the girls the names of God through Bible Study and Crafts. Today we taught Elohim - God the Creator. We were able to tie in some things we taught the girls last summer during our study of creation. It was a wonderful day of discovering God’s truths through His word. We ended the day with an Easter egg hunt. The girls had a blast hunting for eggs filled with candy…one of their favorite things. We have had two wonderful days in Romania and I can’t wait to see what the remainder of the week holds for us. These girls are such a blessing to us and our time here is so precious.



Sweet families who are participants in Back to School Program & Mom School
Pre-Easter Egg Hunt

The hunt is on!

Prayer for today (Wednesday) - Stamina & Wisdom. We will be at DH all day doing a Bible Study Session/Craft before and after lunch. Please prayer that we would have wisdom of when to continue on in our activities and when we need to pause to meet the needs of a girl.

It's Not Goodbye, Just See You Later!

 Recaps from Jamie, Sydney & Molli! Our week in Romania was incredible.  I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to go back a second time and see some familiar faces - people I call friends. We arrived on Saturday, June 29th and had dinner with the week one team. We were exhausted from travel, but it was really great to hear about their experiences and have a few hours to talk and laugh together before they had to go back home. Sunday, June 30th we attended Emil's church, and again, it felt so good to be back in a familiar setting with friends from across the world. Wilson gave the sermon, with Emil translating.  The songs we sang and the prayers we prayed were all in Romanian, but we were all worshiping the same God. To me that's an image of what heaven will look like - every nation, tribe and tongue bowing before the King of Kings. We started our week at Deborah House on Monday, July 1st. The week consisted of eight sessions of Bible study and crafts, where we ta...

One Step Closer to Eternity

Recap of Week 2 from  Heidi, Wilson, & Brandy! As I reflect on my time in Romania, I cannot help but be filled with gratitude, joy, and awe of what the Lord is doing there. Our time spent with the girls was so sweet and went by way too fast! It was so special being able to walk through the names of God with them and remind them just how personal God is. He delights in the details of our lives, and the depth of love He has for us is immeasurable. The girls were able to see how their identity is rooted in Him alone. Our identity is not found in worldly success, relationships, or our mistakes. When we accept His gift of salvation, we are His children. No matter what the world throws at us, we can peacefully rest in the promise of eternity. Along with Bible study, the girls did crafts. I helped in crafts all week, and it was so fun seeing each of their personalities expressed by the way they did their craft. girls are so creative and took their time with each one to make it their ...

Forever Etched in My Heart

  Recaps from Lesley, Kim & Hannah!      Just a quick recap of my week in Romania. I didn’t know what to expect coming on this trip and the emotions we would have. This week will be forever etched in my heart. Being able to love on those girls and share the love of Jesus was such a great experience for me. I also enjoyed getting to know the ladies on my team at such a more personal level. Watching the girls do crafts and just smile and hug us, warmed my heart. This will be a week I will never forget.  - Lesley Brinkmann      It is very difficult to put into words how wonderful was a week at The Deborah House. I am so thankful to God and to my family that I was able to return for a second year. I have thought about and prayed for those precious girls since I left last June. To be able to see them and hug them again was wonderful.  Our week was full of fun activities with the girls and as a team. I hope that the girls felt the love of Jesus...
