Christmas Bag Story
Christmas Bag Story A few weeks before Christmas, I was at the nursing home translating for someone, when one of the younger residents stopped me to talk. Lili is 30-something and is heavily medicated for emotional problems. She also has problems with her weight. She is the largest person in the nursing home. She started telling me how God takes care of her, how she doesn’t need to worry about food or clothing because there’s Someone watching over her. I affirmed what she said, then went on my way. When the holiday season rolled around, we were back at the nursing home handing out Christmas...

A MIRACLE FOR MARIUS In 1997, I was in Arad, and Marius’s mother came to visit me, and brought Marius with her. She told me that, unless something was done, Marius would not live much longer. Marius was born with hydrocephylus, sometimes known as “a waterhead baby”. At the time he was born, Romania was still under Communist rule. However as odd as it may sound, they had a more stable economy at that time, than they did right after the collapse of Communism in 1989, and therefore had better access to some of the needed medical supplies. When Marius was born, they had implanted a “shunt” in...

Dear Friends, I want to start this update by thanking all of you, again, for your prayers and support. Without you, none of this would be possible.

He told me, “No one has ever done anything like this before for us!”. I told him to tell his people to thank God, for it was only as the Lord touched hearts, and people obeyed, that this was possible. I can assure you that they are very thankful and I hope...

1 John 3: 16-18—Hereby,perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brethren have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion for him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. Dear Friends, Just a brief update on what is happening around here and how the Lord is working. We are all doing well, and so thankful for that! With the flu and other things going around, we have...

1 Corinthians 3:9– For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. Dear Friends, First of all, I want to thank all of you who shared your Christmas with the children, and for helping to make it so special for them. I always say that the pictures do not do come close to describing Christmas morning here, and that is so true. As we go through the holidays, I am always reminding the children that they are so blessed because of the sacrifices of others. We are fully aware that any and all things that we are able to have or do here are...
