Romania - 2010

TRAGOVISTE
This year's trip to Romania was exceptional. First of all we got to travel with our dear friends, Brian and Beth. As we arrived in Tragoviste at the Life of Hope Church, we were greeted by the many bothers and sisters that we have grown to love over the years. The Lord used and annointed the Molloys to encourage so many of our fellow laborers. We spent a great deal of time one on one loving, sharing and encouraging.

Below is a meeting with the leaders in the church.
The youth of the church helped us and their pastor's wife minister a VBS for three days. As you can see below they put their heart into the puppets and drama. The children loved it and a crowd was drawn daily.

Saturday night we were invited to join their family meeting. Terry ministered to the whole group and then we divided the men and women into groups. It was a time of questions and answers on subjects of marriage, parenting and involvement in ministry.
BUCHAREST
Our second leg of the trip was to travel to Bucharest to Casa Shalom Orphanage. We have been coming here for 8 years and it was delightful to meet up with old friends. One blessing we encountered was to buy some groceries for a family that Becky has been helping out. It was precious to spend some time with this family.

Below are some of the children that used to live at Casa Shalom. When we started coming most of them were little children. If you look closely you may recognize many of them. The little children have grown up and come back to help Becky with camps and other ministries over the summer. Their names
