We leave March 24th We leave March 24th for Bucharest. We are busy with preparations. Felicia's mom has been staying with us since July she will make the trip back with us. The Lord has provided about $4,200 pledged each month, with many others contributing one time gifts. We are praying the Lord will provide $5,000 a month as we get started. It is difficult to know exactly what we will need in this ministry. Pray that the Lord provides all we need; staff, funds, buildings, government cooperation, most importantly children who God has chosen and will bring to repentance. |

God has gone before us, preparing the way in Romania Marius Teletin wants to partner with us. He is Romanian and has worked with street children for over 5 years. He is a licensed social worker. His former ministry City of Hope recently pulled out of Bucharest. We hope to fill that void. His wife is the secretary at Holy Trinity Baptist church where we met and married. Both of our pastors Nocella and Kopas have met him in Romania. Marius has found a building in the city that may work as a night shelter. It is owned by a Dutch couple who lived in Bucharest for 2 years ministering to street children. It has been renovated, has a kitchen, several bedrooms and a class room. Ken and Monica Luse, missionaries with The Master’s Mission have over 60 acres of land originally intended to be a group home for children leaving the orphanage. I have recently met with the mission and they are open to the possibility of us using this land for an agriculturally based group home like the one we have dreamed of. |

Pray for David's family Romans 12:15 tells us to "Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep." We are excited to be with Felicia's family once more. Her mom is the only one who has seen the boys. Yet, leaving means taking our children away from David's side of the family. This is the most difficult part of leaving. No matter where we go in the world someone is missing out. Pray God will sustain and grow our relationships despite distance. |

God has protected the boys so far The boys are both healthy. They coo, shake their rattles and Seth rolled from his back to his stomach for the first time on 1/27. They looked good during their 4 month check up, Marc weighed 13lbs 13oz, Seth 13lbs 3oz. Pray the plane ride on March 24th goes smoothly! We are nerves about this. Pray we not be a burden for others flying with us. |
