Romania — prayer update
September 25th, 2009 | By Missions Committee | Posted in Get Involved, MissionsNews from Romania Reborn –
Hope House Family Center
Praises:
- New house parents have been found for Hope House! After almost two years of prayer, God has led a wonderful couple, Mr. and Mrs. Bartos, to serve at Hope House as house parents. They are sincere Christians who have a good testimony and work with children in their church. Corina Caba, director of Hope House, plans on placing a total of 6 children in the care of the Bartos family.
- Recently, Corina Caba rescued “Marcus” (1 ½) and “Natalie” (7 months) from the hospital. These two children are younger siblings of Alin, the little boy in Corina’s care who died of cancer. They will be the first two children to enter the care of the new house parents and receive the love they need to grow and recover.
- Two little boys, “Gabe” and “Robert” (both 3 months old), have been rescued from the hospital and placed with good families who hope to adopt them.
Pray for:
- The new house parents to have the strength and wisdom they need to care for Hope House’s new arrivals.
- The children at Hope House (names changed to protect their identity) who:
- Are in the process of being adopted, waiting for paperwork, court hearings, and birth parent approval for finalization – Christopher, Catherine, Katy, Andrew, and Amanda.
- Are in process of being made adoptable and have families waiting to adopt them – Joshua, Sean, and Timothy.
- Are in the process of being made adoptable, but need adoptive families – Andra, Angie, Ryan, Darren.
- Are facing legal difficulties from birth parents as they wait to be adopted or find adoptive families – Gabby, Gabe, and Alex. Pray especially for Gabe as he faces the possibility of being reintegrated back into his birth family.
Please pray that God would bless all these children, their adoptive families, and the judges hearing their cases. Pray that nothing will hinder these children from finding joy in new forever families.
Living Hope Center
The Living Hope Center tutoring program has started out the year with 18 children! This is a significant increase over last year and is a big praise, but also means more work for the LHC staff. Pray for the teacher, Alina, and the LHC staff as they visit the homes of each child to better understand the home situation of each child in their care. Pray that the children will grow in the knowledge and understanding of God’s love for them.
