So Much Joy!!!

 Wednesday, June 26. 

We had a very full day spending all our time with the girls with two Bible study sessions and crafts. Lots of giggles were shared among the girls and our team. The joy of the Lord is our strength! Here are some highlights of the day!

"We did lip & face masks with the girls which was so fun! I got to share Zephaniah 3:17 and a little bit about how God has worked in my life. I want the girls to see and hear stories of our relationship with the Lord and know they can have a personal relationship with God too!" -Hannah M. 

"I love how the girls are warming up to us & engaging more with us. I also have enjoyed my time with our team getting to bond and laugh and just really get to know each other at such a deeper level." -Lesley B.

"Today was a wonderful day, the girls were all happy and loved all we were doing with them from tye-dying pillow cases to playing games. Our time together as a team has been really special and quite entertaining!" -Kim C.

"My highlight was listening to the girls read Psalm 139 out loud and their eyes lighting up as they learned more about how and why God created them!" -Sarah Beth S. 

"SO MUCH JOY!!!!" - Aimee H.

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...
