Love, Never the Same

Love has open arms,
Love has open hearts.
With your eyes open wide,
how could you not have love?
A life so hard,
A heart so hard,
How can you not have love for these
beautiful children of God?
Their hugs and kisses speak louder than language,
Their smiles speak multitudes of grace.
How are you still here when God says,
  Go,  Go tell the world?
The first time you see those feet,
The first time you smell the sweet scent,
How can you not understand that God
has called us to love ALL people?
Some may call them orphans,
Others may call them gypsies,
but I call them Children of God.
How will you change?
How can you make a difference?
All it takes is one smile, one hug,one kiss.
All you have to do is go ONE time and your
HEART is changed FOREVER!!!
YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!!!!

Romania Partnership
We have a sister church relationship with Biserica Crestino Baptista "Sfanta Treime" in Deva, Romania. We are in the process of helping them build an education building and also are making plans to take a vision trip to see how we can best partner. One of the main needs they have is for an American to come serve as an English teacher. They also want small groups to come and help with discipleship training,
youth and children camps, outreach strategies, etc.
Opportunities to Serve:
Pray for this sister church and her pastor
Give to the general mission fund so that people may go serve
Send educational training and information
Go on a short term trip to lead in one of the ministry areas that is needed
Volunteer for a one or two year commitment to teach English
Support a child in their Christian School
