Tunde and LOC staff member Alina at Livada's camp last year.                   URGENT Livada Prayer Request  Pray for CPS to approve summer camps  Dear Livada Partners,                  For us to take orphans that live in state care to camp, we have to get approval each year from the local Child Protective Services in Romania. Traditionally CPS finds some element of our official written request, submitted at least one month prior, that they want to change right before camp is about to begin. This year is no exception. Vio, our director, was told today that CPS does not want to approve our current request for hundreds of orphans to come to our camp for the following reasons: 1) "A 45 minute bus ride is too much for the kids. They would vomit on the            way. You will need to find a venue that is closer."  2) "Picnic food is not good enough. It will constipate the kids. You should          consider taking them to a restaurant each day for hot meals."    3) "Campfires and waterparks are too dangerous for the kids."   All of the plans for memory making horseback riding lessons, water games including a 60 foot custom built slip-n-slide, gift bags filled with humanitarian aid, hikes in the hills of camp, hilarious team games, and of course creative Gospel lessons are now thrown up in the air.  Bex has been working tirelessly with our Romanian staff to get literally thousands of details together for this summer. What CPS did today was the equivalent of taking the bottom row out of our Jenga tower of blocks forcing us to come up with a new set of thousands of details- budget, transport, program, team schedules, meals, etc.... for the hundreds of people involved.   Tomorrow, Vio and Bex will meet with CPS officials again to try to get a "Plan B" approved and officially stamped by them. (The stamp is more important than life!) Please pray with us that CPS would approve the plan B, that we would accept that as God's plan A, and that God would make Himself known to all of the orphans, at-risk kids, volunteers, and especially to the leadership of CPS Mures County Romania.   Thank you for participating with us in sharing the love of Christ with kids like Tunde pictured above.  For Fruit That Will Last,  Bruce and the Livada Orphan Care Staff           Please consider providing a CAMPERSHIP!                                It costs $133 for an orphan child or at-risk Roma child to attend our             evangelistic summer camps in Romania.  DONATE NOW  If you can PRAY or GIVE or GO or SHARE about Livada when you get this email, then please PARTICIPATE with us as the LORD leads you. We are sincerely thankful for the opportunity to link you up with what God is doing in Romania to build His kingdom and for your partnership in the sharing the love of Jesus with these kids and this community.
