Happy Birthday Fanel!

La multi ani Fanel!

Today, the 27th of February it's Fanel 's birthday and he turns the age of 13. We celebrate his birthday last Friday together with the kids from Ana Nadia group home, two of his sisters who live in foster care, and some other guests like his past teacher and some former LOC employees.

Fanel had a wonderful tine at his birthday. He was so happy to be 13! His sisters, Maria (6 years old) and Alina (8 years old) made his day. He had so much fun with them and was very happy to be able to spent some precious time with them. It was wonderful to have his former school teacher too at his celebration.

For his birthday, besides many other gifts, he received an Mp3Player which he wished for so long. Thank you for those who made this happen!

We would appreciate If you would join us in prayer for Fanel! He is a very sensitive child who need as much love as we can give. May God bless him and his precious heart!

Fanel and his sisters

We love you Fanel!

Happy Birthday Laura!

This last week we've celebrated two birthdays in Ana Nadia group home. Laura's birthday was first, on the 17th of January. She turned 18 and she is a sweet young lady. Because she turned 18 she had a big party and she invited many of the ex-employes from the group home and also some of her friends.

Her wish was to buy clothes for her birthday and she did bought some nice once, including those that she is wearing in these pictures.

Happy Birthday Janos!

Janos, Laura’s brother was borne on the 22th of January. He turned the age of 17. Janos is a wonderful teenager, a leader and example for all the kids from the group home. He is handsome young boy always ready to help everyone. He received some nice gifts for his birthday which he deserved indeed.

Thank you all who helped us made a wonderful day for both of them birthdays. We are thankful for you! Please join us in prayer, just like you always do, for both Janos and Laura. Janos needs prayer most of all for his health, for his back pain. We pray for Laura’s future and to have always people around her to guide and help her.
Thank you! Enjoy the pictures!

Merry Christmas from the LOC Orphan Outreach Clubs!

This past fall and winter we were blessed to be able to have the opportunity to have clubs (evangelistic ministry programs) and see every group of children currently in the care of the State once a week. This was a huge answer to prayer as we were not always allowed so much freedom to share by the authorities. We were so thankful for this opportunity as the impact that we could have on their lives has been even bigger this year! We currently work with approximately 300 orphan children and teens between the ages of 4 and 22 every week. 

Christmas has come and gone, but because it is known as the season of generosity, we want to say a special thank you to all of you who were generous with us and made all of our LOC Orphan Outreach clubs possible this winter. We are especially thankful that at Christmas we were so blessed to be able to celebrate with over 300 precious orphans the birth of Jesus.  With the gracious help of some very generous donors, we were able to ensure that each and every child received a personal gift this Christmas,  and all of them were very happy and thankful that somebody thought of them too this Christmas. 

So, thank you, Amy Seale and Tiffany Taylor from the organization Orphan Outreach, Samaritan's Purse/Operation Christmas Child, and the Franklin Family for helping to make it possible to put a smile on these children's faces on this special holiday. Also thank you to all of our LOC Orphan Outreach club sponsors for making possible every weekly club, for your continuous prayers, and for your investment in this ministry. We are really grateful for you!!

Once again THANK YOU for praying, giving and sharing of your life for this ministry and making all of these things possible. Thank you for helping to bring joy to every child and for making each of them feel so special and loved this Christmas!

May your year be filled with many heavenly blessings !
