Summer Camp 2009

 

This summer camp in the mountains was a great blessing of God for all children part of this project. It was the first time for some of them, a new experience like this in the mountains, their parents are poor and these children never were in a SUMMER CAMP like this before.

This year we had a group of 26 children in our summer camp project and four adults as well. Most of them, about 85% are part of our charity program and the rest of the group came from the children club we are running on Vladeni Baptist Church. Even if they have different ages and live on different places around Botosani (Botosani, Vladeni, Bucecea, Pascani, Iasi, Mihail Kogalniceanu – different small villages), all of them felt very well and immediately accommodated at the summer camp conditions as well.

All trips we made during the days, Bible studying, prayer and worship (in the morning and in the evening), the time spent together, games, the Bicaz Gorges (a beautiful place with big rocks), – all of this made this summer a special project and we are absolutely sure all these children never forget this.

The smallest child of the group has 7 years old and the biggest is 17 years. It wasn’t so easy to have in responsibility a large group like this, but we thank God because nothing happened and He gave us power and wisdom to finish this project with no problems.

We are sure they never forget this summer camp. All of them have lovely memories about this and after years they could remember this nice camp. We are delighted because there was this possibility to make this project and also we thank our God for protection, good weather and health. We had no health problems in this camp, praise the Lord for that. We all could see His blessings in our lives this time.

He is risen!

 

HE IS RISEN!

The Easter time means hope. The resurrection of Jesus Christ offers us a message of hope, love and grace. Jesus suffered at his trial, his scourging, on the road to the Cross, and certainly on the Cross – and ever bit of that suffering was payment for our sins. The resurrection gives us victory over sin, over death, and even over time itself by giving us eternal life.

May God bless you all and have a happy Easter!

Christmas project 2008

 

It was a great, wonderful and unforgettable experience for most of children from our charity program this year. After those days, I and my husband have made a small evaluation of this holiday and we found this time was the most wonderful Christmas from our last years. All our family’s members were happy and grateful to God because we had in our mission ministry this project.

This year, a group of 34 children were involved our project for Christmas. Some of them are part of our charitable and social work; they live in social stages and different locations (Vlădeni, Botosani, Bucecea, and Mihail Kogălniceanu village). The whole of the project, December 24-26, 2008, the children from the village of Mihail Kogălniceanu lived with us in Botosani.

On the eve of Christmas, the children from the village of Mihail Kogălniceanu arrived in Botosani, in our home (my husband went after them by car in the morning of that day). They had the lunch, and after a small relax little, we all went to Vlădeni. There we gathered the entire group: those of Vlădeni, children Bucecea (Sofian’s children), some children from Botosani (Juravle’s children), and the children from our mission children club. We have had a specific work to do: to go with the Christmas carol through the village at different people’s homes. 

 The village was covered by snow. It snowed few days before, even on the eve of Christmas we enjoyed enormously much too large flakes of snow that falls on the ground. We went to the homes of people sang Christmas carols, specific event songs relating to the birth of the Savior Jesus Christ. The children were untiringly and full of enthusiasm. They had a nice experience and felt proud because all of them can do useful work to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their village. 

Tonight, the children went home and others in Botosani, where we had dinner together. Our children have enjoyed having them as their guest that time, they talk, playing different games and laughed a lot together. Many things were new to them, including that to play some games on the computer. 

The next morning we went to Vlădeni again, where the group of children attended a worship service by the local Baptist church. The whole church were touched by the children Christmas program. Their songs, poems and biblical verses about the birth of Jesus Christ sounded wonderful. We have had not such a large group of children before in our church service. It was wonderful to see all of them worship with the church that day.

At the end of the service, the children who worshiped at the church participated in a festive Christmas meal. We have eaten soup, a specific Romanian food called sărmăluţe, fruits, cakes and juices. All children were very happy, talked about stories and different things, experiences and memories. Finally, they received their Christmas received this year by the Samaritan’s Purse. They then disposed of because no longer had the patience needed to get home. You can imagine the joy that they have experienced it in those special moments.

 Some friends of our family heard about this project and have decided to join us through a donation of this specific event. Few days before Christmas, our sponsors from England told us about the possibility of helping this project financially. In this way, we want to thank you all for the support given to us in running this great project. 

After the Christmas festive dinner, each child went home and we got back to Botoşani. After we rested a little, we went to “the city children’s town” together with children from Mihail Kogălniceanu. The Central Park and the city were covered by snow. And then it was snowing quite profusely everywhere on Botosani; this generated a lot of joy in their souls. These children never have been and seen a place like this before. The places dedicated to the electric cars and horses were their favorites. They shot several times in these cars, which had an immense joy. It was the first time they saw something like that, and when they eat cotton candy. Tired, we returned home that evening. Children continued to play with our boys, told and laughter together. With difficulty we were able to determine them to go to sleep because the next day we had to take them back to their village. We would like to keep them few days more, but we have had special events in our family: my sister engagement time and my mother birthday party.

 The next morning, we early waked up and after breakfast, the children have packed their things and left for their village. The road was difficult; it was much snow and ice on the road. Although the road was very hard, God has helped us to take them home safely. Their families expected us in the place we have fixed before on the phone and have enjoyed when the children have begun to tell them about their experiences and beautiful time lived those days with us in Botosani.

We pray to God to have other opportunities to be together in the future, to enjoy in projects like this. Memories are long lived in our minds and we are convinced that these children will not forget too soon all things new and beautiful experience lived on Christmas 2008. 

 May God bless all those who have supported this project by prayer and financially. We are convinced that they will be rewarded for the effort made for our charity work and pray to God to have them in His guard this year all the time.

Sad news – three people from our charity program passed away this year

 

Mr. Duduta Dumitru

Last year, God put in our hearts the decision to help this man through the agency of our charity program. We were honored and thank God because we could have him in our charity program in his last year.

He lived alone in Botosani since 1999, the year when his wife passed away. He was a good Christian and all the time when we visited him, he always had a wonderful message from the Scripture for all of us. Last time when our partners from England visited us, we decided one afternoon to visit him. At the end of this visit, Mr. Duduta Dumitru said to us: “I have something for Sue and Terry”. It was a special message from Proverbs 25:25 – “Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country”.

He had several heart problems and his three heart attacked was the last for him. He spent his last hours with his son in the mountains. In a evening, he felt bad and his son called the ambulance there. After one hour of medical exercises, his heart stoped to bite for this world.

We were honored to have him in our charity program and we thank God for such a wonderful opportunity to help him in his last year. He was 78 year old in the day of his death.

 

Mrs. Ciobanu Domnica

When we started this charity project in August 2005, she was the second person from our program. In all these years, we were blessed to have her in our attention.

She had 95 years old when God called her in heaven, after a long time suffering. In her last months, she was complete blind and all time she asked us is there is a way to help her to see a little. We cannot help her because of her age, she was too old, but God have supported her in her suffering.

Her nephew called Laurentiu was near to her all days and she was so much helped because of him. He was a blessing of God for her daily needs and suffering and we thank God for his help. We were honored to have this old women in our charity program all these years.

 

Mrs. Ungureanu Veronica

When we were first time at this family with their monthly food support, they started to cry because someone love them so much. We told them our friends and partners from England would like to help them and they were so happy to heard this.

After a long suffering, Mrs. Veronica Ungureanu passed away this year on summer. She cannot walk so much because as you see in the picture, she was a little fat and had feet problems. A great help every day she had from her husband, Mr. Gheorghe Ungureanu. They lived alone in a small apartment in Botosani and all the time they told us how important is this charity help for their monthly needs.

Now, Mr. Ungureanu Gheorghe is in Brasov at his son, after his wife funeral he decided to take him there. We don’t know exactly for how long time but we already have another family which will receive his monthly food parcel this time. If he will return to live in Botosani, he will receive his monthly food support.

We were honored to have this family in our charity ministry and we thank God & our partners for this wonderful opportunity.  

 

Update charity ministry August 10, 2008

Few weeks ago, we were honored to have Mr. Terry Wright with us here in Botosani – our partner from Kids in Romania Foundation. He came for a special wedding service but we could be involved in some projects together few days as well. We were blessed by his presence here and we thank God because He helped us to visit some people from our charity program.

When we started our charity program called “helping widows, elderly, poor and needy families” in 2005, we had only two people in this project. The number grew up every year and today, after three years of this activity, we can tell you that over 40 people enjoyed every month by our charity support. What wonderful God worked all this time.

We have widows, widowers, elderly, poor and needy families in our charity program and of course about 17 children. They are all in our charity program and by the Lord’s grace, all of them receive every month a food support, spiritual and medical care and counseling in different situations.

We also could help different people with clothes, toys, sweets, money and other useful things this time and for all of this, we thank God and, also, our partner – Kids in Romania Foundation. This help were a blessing of God for all those people and every time they received our help with a special joy in their hearts.

We also are happy because God used us in a special medical situation: Clara’s heart surgery on Targu Mures University Hospital. She was in a hard situation and when this family was in a hard social and financial situation, our partner from England and their friends & supporters understood that and helped them with an extra financial support.

We cannot say she is ok now, she needs another one heart surgery this year but the worse situation already passed. She continues to be in our prayers and care and we thank God because she is in His hands all the time. We are encourage you to continue have this family in your prayers every day.

We are ready to increase this charity work in the future and we thank God because He will give us all things we need in this lovely work. Our missionary and charity society, St. Andrew Christian Mission Romania in partnering with Kids in Romania Foundation are ready to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and our community as the best we could.

 

Dear friends & supporters of St. Andrew Christian Mission Romania

We need your support and prayers in all our future plans and we are sure one day all of us will find how much God appreciated what we did for His glory on the earth. Without your help, all results we had this time never happen. We thank God for your open hearts for this charity work and we continue to pray for you to be strong in faith, have a good health and also open hearts for our charity and missionary work here in Romania.

May God bless you!

 

Our mission summer camp 2008

The summer camp location: RED LAKE, Harghita area – Romania, a beautiful place in the mountains for a memorable and lovely holiday for children from families with reduced financial possibilities.

 Between June 30 – July 5, 2008 our mission had another wonderful opportunity to offered a memorable holiday to a group of 16 children from families with reduced financial possibilities at The RED LAKE, Harghita area or The Bicaz Gorges, a beautiful place in the mountains near to Bicaz city.  

Most of them never was in a summer camp before and also some children didn’t know what means “a summer camp” till now. They live in poor families and their parents haven’t a financial potential to give them a possibility like this to go in an organised summer camp project. We indeed praise the Lord for this lovely opportunity to bring them with us in this mission summer camp, thanks to our partners from England – Kids in Romania Foundation. God bless them in all things and ministry.

All trips we made during the days, bible studying, prayer and worship ( in the morning and in the evening ), the time they spent together, games, a special vapour ( ship ) trip in our travel day to the summer camp location, the Bicaz Gorges ( a beautiful place with big rocks ), the camp fire – all of this made this summer a special project and we are absolutely sure all these children never forget this time. After two days, they parents called us to thank for this summer camp and also told us about the fantastic impact this summer camp had in their lives. Praise the Lord for this.

He had a nice experience in this summer camp and we would like to tell you about this. The administrator of “The Green House” ( this is the name of our chalet – the house where we slept over night, because in that area there is a lot of green trees ( we were in the middle of the forest ) and also the house roof is painted in a green colour; all people know that house as “the green house” ) had to gathered all the hay in a special house room near to our chalet, he was alone and this activity isn’t so easy to do. The children understood his situation and decided to help him in two days ( one hour each day ). We can tell you this help was a nice experience for all of them. Some of them never made that before and it was a nice new activity for them.  

We are sure they never forget this summer camp. All of them has lovely memories about this and after years they could remember this nice camp. We are delighted because there was this possibility to made this project and also we thank our God for protection, good weather and health. We had no health problems in this camp, praise the Lord for that. We all could see His blessings in our lives during this time.

    We also want like to send a “BIG THANK YOU” to our partners from England - Kids in Romania Foundation and their friends & supporters. A project like this never could be done without their prayers and financial support. They understood our desire to go in this summer camp and gave us the financial support we need for this summer project. God bless them in all things and ministry.

All the glory for this project belong to our Lord Jesus Christ!

Update news about Clara – June 03,2008

Right now, Clara and her parents are in their home in Poiana. She is ok, of course there is more health problems but her general health condition is good. We brought them home from hospital and thank God because everything is OK. She is under a special medical treatment and this month on June 26, 2008 she has to be back again at hospital for a medical investigation. 

 She has to sleep alone in a special and quiet room and nobody has permission to visit her during the day, at least one month. Luminita, her mother, received narrow directives and she has to make this as Clara’s doctor said to her. It is very important for her health and recovery.

Her surgical cuts isn’t closed 100% percents. Her family doctor has her medical situation under control and the parents has to follow the doctors instruction for her recovery. She must be protected by microbes. This is very important for her.

As you see in the video presentation and pictures, she looks a little tired and weak. We were dumbfounded to find how much things Luminita has to buy for her. We thank our friends and partner from London, Kids in Romania Foundation for their financial support to them. Your extra money will help them a lot in this situation. THANK YOU, OUR BROTHERS AND FRIENDS FOR THIS LOVELY HELP.

If you would like to help this family with a prayer and financial support during the recovery process, please send a reply to us or our partners – Kids in Romania Foundation. You will find our address at “contact us” website page.

God has made a wonderful miracle in Clara’s life

Dear friends,

      We are pleased to write some fantastic news about Clara, a little child from our charity program. Friday evening, the doctors from Targu Mures University Hospital said to their parents: “Sorry, but your daughter has no more chance to survive. We have done all things that depend of us. Tonight, if you will receive a phone call from my main nurse, that means you have to be ready for some bad and sad news. In our medical opinion, only God is the only authority who could help your daughter. Anyway, even if you didn’t come here with her for this surgery, she could live only one month”.

      Could you realize how desperate were her parents when this doctor told them this news about their little daughter Clara? Incredible and praise the Lord because today is Monday, 3 days later, and Clara is alive and she has good chances to live a lot of years near to their parents and her sister, Joana. PRAISE THE LORD! Saturday afternoon, at 18 o’clock, the doctor said to Clara’s parents these words: “I think God loves you so much. The Clara’s heart started to bite slowly. Of course, her situation isn’t so good but she is now on the right/good way. I think you have to thank Him because of this. He is the only responsible for this incredible miracle. She has to crossing a long way of procedures if she wants to have a healthy life but what was wrong is gone. Please, accept my advice and go to sleep and rest few hours (Luminita, Clara’s mother couldn’t sleep and eat for three days – she was in a difficult situation and the main doctor saw this and encouraged her to go home to rest and eat something). She is now in our attention and a doctors’ team are near to her all the time in the intensive care”.Wow, what amazing news from a doctor who just said to Dorin and Luminita that their daughter has no more chance to survive and she will die in few hours.

       Miracles do happen, yes even today. If you want to read more details about this special social case we have in our charity program, please read our special report sent to our partners Kids In Romania Foundation. Click here and see what the Lord is doing for Clara and her family. It is a largish file in PDF format please be patient. It will be worth the wait.

A new end of the year near to our partners in Romania

The end of year 2007 is the second consecutive year when we were honoured to spent near to our partners from England – Sue & Terry Wright. We thank God for this lovely opportunity and for the memories we had for a long time.

They arrived in Botosani on Saturday evening and although they’re tired because of the travel between Oradea – Botosani, they were so happy and thankful to God because we met again for a new year together. We also were so glad because we met them, Sue & Terry are a special family for us who always are ready to makes the people feel good.

Sunday morning, we spent together at Vladeni with our church in a special Sunday morning service. Terry had a good message for all people who was in the church that morning and our mission children club kids also had a special worship time with songs, poems and biblical stories. At the end of the service, all children and their brothers received a lovely Christmas gift from their sponsors in England. We thank you for your lovely Christmas gifts.

Could you realize what joy and happy felt the children when they met Sue and Terry again? Most of them spent their summer holiday at Mamaia because they were involved in our charity program called “SEASIDE 2007″ – a charity program dedicated to children and young man from needy and poor families. They had a lovely and memorable summer holiday and were so happy to met them again this time in Vladeni at the end of the year 2007.

At the end of our church service, we had a special prayer time for two things: first, we prayed for Clara, a special baby who lives near to his parents and his sister in Poiana, a small village situated at 26 km from Botosani city. We already have some posts about his health condition on website and please read it carefully if you would like to find our latest news about his medical situation. Second, we also prayed for the aids children. In that afternoon, after lunch, we had to visit them at hospital to give some special Christmas gifts.

After lunch, we made a visit at hospital to see the children who was hospitalized that time there. We thank God because we have no problem to visit them and all medical personnel’s was so opened and kind with us. We could give some special Christmas gifts and fruits to all children which we found in hospital that day and also we had some Christmas gifts, sweets and fruits for Aids Children. In that hospital, there is a wing where people with aids problems are hospitalized for proper treatment they need. We had for all children a Christmas shoe boxes from The Samaritan’s Purse, sweets and fruits. Praise the Lord for this wonderful opportunity to share our Lord Jesus Christ love practically to all people who are in a suffering condition.

Each time when we opened a door, the hospitalized children from there enjoyed when they saw us with a special Christmas gifts for them and also they were so perplexed that some strange people who never met before gave them that gifts for free, we have a word in Romania “in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ”. Wonderful, isn’t it?

After hospital visit, we went to see Clara Sandu in his village situated at 25 km from Botosani city. There, we were welcome and his family was so much because finally they could know the people who helped them at their first medical investigation on Bucharest with a financial support.

Sometimes Clara cried because she didn’t know our partners Sue & Terry Wright and in his little mind she perhaps identity them with his doctors from Targu Mures University Hospital. Our partners had a special gift from their sponsors for his family, sweets and fruits for Clara and his sister, Ioana. Clara also received a special gift: a tricycle.

At the end of the visit, we had a special prayer time for Clara and his mother who are ready to go again at the end of January at Targu Mures Hospital. Then, she could be operated if all things will be good. Maybe in February, or in March.  

In the last day of the year, we could visit some people from our charity program. They received a special Christmas gifts from Sue and Terry and also from their church in England. We cannot visit all people from our charity program because we hadn’t enough time for that, but we made it few days ago. Well, all people received their Christmas gifts from their sponsors.

In the evening, we had dinner together and enjoy because we had another opportunity to spent a new year again in Romania. We also had a talk about our future plans in our mission work and partnering and at midnight we went to see the new year fireworks in the centre of Botosani city.

Next day, on January 1st 2008, our partners left from Botosani to England in the morning. Although they were tired because of the schedule we had that days, they never complain because of that and all the time they were ready to have a Romanian work day.

We would like to think these days was a blessed time for them and we thank God because they helped us to have another charity action at the beginning of the year. More details about this new charity action in the next post.  

 

Latest news about Clara Sandu …

 

We can tell you that Clara and her mother are at Targu Mures University Hospital right now. In a phone call, Luminita told us the doctors already made some special investigation to Clara and decided to make a surgical operation in February, next year. Why then? Because there are a lot of children on a waiting list, only children with urgent problems will accepted for a surgical operation in two-three days.  

The doctors said to Luminita she has two possibilities: a) if you want, you can stay in hospital till February when this surgical operation would be done, or 2) you can go home and come back one week before the surgery.

She told us is better to go home and spend the Christmas holidays with their family and in February they will return to Targu Mures for Clara’s operation. The doctors assured her that there would be no problems during this time and they will be okay if she decided to go home. She was afraid that Clara would have a heart attack before they returned in February, but they assured her that isn’t possible.  

Her doctor is a university teacher and he said to Luminita that everything would be good. He also said to her if Clara hadn’t had a heart attack till now, it would be unlikely that she would have one before February unless there was a big change in her health. This is a good news.

One more detail: today, on Wednesday, a team of doctors would try to make another big investigation after anesthesia. They shall introduce a small video camera through her foot to heart because they would like to see if she has other problems. After that, they will make the final decision about her surgical operation.

Tomorrow, we will telephone Luminita to hear more details. In hospital, the things are good. They are satisfied about the conditions and all personels have a good raport with all the patients. This is a big achievement for our Romanians hospitals. 

Pray for Clara and her health condition.

New latest news about Clara Sandu … ( January 14th, 2008)

Dear friends,

We wrote this newsletter about little baby Clara Sandu because we would like you  help our mission to be a blessing of God for his health condition. Last weeks, over 100 people read some information about our ministry here and we thank you for your interest. We appreciate your desire to pray for us and our christian missionary and charity work here in Romania.

Clara’s last medical investigation made in November at Targu Mures University Hospital isn’t so good. His medical situation remain to be serious because besides his heart bad problems, the doctors found a new complicated situation at his lungs. She has an artery against of one lung and this would be resolve only by a special surgical intervention.  

After a tomography investigation his doctors also found a little tired and irritation of brain and gave his mother a special treatment who need to have until she comes back there in hospital at the end of January. We thank you our partners from England & friends because help us to buy this special treatment and now she is OK and ready for his surgical operation.

On January, the doctors would like to make the last new medical investigation to Clara and for this she must be healthy ( no cool, fever or another affections ). Why that? Because they want to have a new investigation under a general anaesthesia and more that: this medical team wants to introduce a small digital video camera by an foot artery to his little heart to see if there is another complications there or in another places. They should like to know his real situation before this hard heart surgical operation because they don’t want to have unwelcome surprises during the operation.

She was at home in Poiana, the place where she lives with his parents and sister, for Christmas and New Year and in two weeks she has to come back at hospital together his mother. His family is poor and they haven’t enough money for travel and extra medical expenses. We helped them first time when they were in Bucharest for treatment and some medical investigation, thanks to our parteners from England / Kids in Romania Foundation, but in this moment we have nothing to help them.

We strength believe that his case is under our God’s control and He could makes all things to be good for her for a long time. We would like to see Clara as teenager and with his own family in the future. We could make something important and one day in the heaven we’ll find how much God appreciated what we done for her. We cannot give her the healthy she need, but we could help her and his family with a financial support.

Please, could you think about his situation a few moments? Nobody wants to have a situation like this in his family. If you have healthy children, praise God and be thanhful to Him every day. But Clara’s life is in our God’s hands. HE IS HIS ONLY SALVATION.

We would like to receive two things from you: 1) We would like you pray for her and his approaching surgical operation. WE NEED PRAYERS, A LOT OF PRAYERS FOR HIS SITUATION. 2) We would like to receive a financial support for her. Think at this for a moment: 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 GBP, USD, EUROS is nothing for a life who need help to survive.

Please, contact us urgently at e-mail misiuneacrestinaandrei_ro@yahoo.com  or leave a reply in our website comments box if you would like to be near to us in this special social and medical case.

We also could give you our partners from England e-mail terrywright@aol.com where you could find useful information about this case.

We also could give our mission bank accounts in GBP and EURO, if you would like to help Clara with a financial support. Click here for our bank accounts ( here you could find more information about our partners of England too ). 

 We would like to send a receipt from our mission financial documents and a “thank you” letter to all people who would like to help us to be a blessing of God for Clara’s. Please, tell us about your financial support.

A charity help for a small baptist church in Gheorgheni, Harghita area

A charity help for a small baptist church in Gheorgheni, Harghita area

Last month, July 2007 – our charity and missionary society had a special honor and joy to help a small baptist church in Gheorgheni, Harghita area. In this moment, they are in a church building project and through the agency of this food donation, we helped them in this way.

In a wonderful partnership with “Nehemiah” Charity Association from Dorohoi, our mission sent this church a food donation of 100 kg. food: some different types of soups, baked beans, spaghetti in tomato sauce, and so on. They received some money from USA for this church project but it isn’t enough for what they want to do. Our mission president has a good relationship with them and he asked us to find a way to help them with this food donation. We are so glad because they didn’t buy food for workers for a few days.

Our mission support is too small in comparison their needs, but we have the soul satisfaction to be useful for the Lord’s ministry there and, also, we are so glad because had the possibility to put a “small brick” at their church building project.

We praise our Lord Jesus Christ for this wonderful charity action. All christians of this small baptist church send a lot of thanks to “Nehemiah” Charity Association for their understanding and love.
