Happy 4th!

Thursday, July 4th

"This morning at Deborah House the girls decorated sunglasses, beach balls, and made DIY sugar scrubs! Today was water park day, so we tried to incorporate crafts that they could enjoy in the water. We were spoiled today after finally retrieving the lost suitcase with all of our craft materials! The weather was nice again today, so the girls were able to spend time outside playing volleyball for a while before lunch. After lunch Fivi took us on a tour of Deborah House 1, where half of the girls live, and our tour ended in a huge surprise. As we walked back around the house and “posed for a picture”, we were surprised by all of the girls and staff waving American flags and shouting “Happy Fourth of July!” They made a beautiful (and delicious) American Flag cake and were excited to celebrate this holiday with us. It was so thoughtful and fun!" -Anna Logan

Sugar Scrubs were a hit, especially all the options of essential oils for their scent!



Happy 4th from Romania!

"Such a fun day today with the girls at Deborah House! We spent the afternoon at a local waterpark (aquapark as our Romanian friends called it) in the city. We had so much fun racing down water slides and doing cannon balls. Some girls even learned how to swim for the first time! We can’t wait to be back with the girls tomorrow for our last hoorah!" -Molli Sorrels

Tomorrow (Friday), during Bible Study, we will be clearly sharing the gospel with the girls. Please pray their hearts and ears would be open to here the truth! Pray for the team and the girls as it is our last day together, and I am confident it will be difficult to say goodbye!

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...
