During April in Romania, we worked with
a local missionary, John who is married to a Gypsie woman, Tootsie (to
the right). We ministered to the Gypsie’s by doing evangelism, yard
work for the elderly, visiting the sick and doing children’s programs.
This is Katie. We visited her in a neighboring village…we laughed and talked with her for a few hours. She and her husband fed us this amazing walnut cake, after filling our purses with walnuts the day before!!!
This is Jenny, who is a Christian woman who is homebound due to her health. We visited her and were able to provide some food for herself and her family.
The following are some of the children that participated in our children’s programs:
This little boy is the youngest of 5, with an absent mother and an alcoholic father.
This is my friend, Maria, who sat on this bench everyday, which is right outside her house. As I sat down with her on our last day, she handed me the larger piece of cake that she was holding and refused to let me give it back to her. She lives alone in Viile Tecii, which is the village where we stayed.
Our last prayer together before we left.
Krystle, myself and John having a little fun at the market…
Too much muscle, apparently!! haha They still work up some of their fields by hand here…
