Orphanage project - Kids need to feel loved and cared!

Several months ago we the youth of our Church started a project in an orphanage in Straseni town. Through this project we want to help those kids that feel alone and have no love from the parents to learn that there is someone great that loves and cares for each of them! 

Every Sunday during two hours five to seven young people from our church would go and play with around 30 to 40 children at the orphanage! It was and is a blessing to see them every week, to play with them! To teach them and sing songs with them!! :D But the most amazing is the privilege to love and be loved by those great kids! Every week they would come and play with us, listen to what we are telling them and long for hugs and our love! 

The age is so different there! We had 5-6 years old kids and also 15-16 years old teens! It is wonderful to see God's love, to see what a great plan He has for each of them! 

I would say that these months were a great learning for each young person from our church that was coming and spending time with them! We saw the need, the hope and the love of those young people! Each of us would be hugs and kissed so many times during our visit that I don't think we ever received so much love like there! And the only think they wanted back...was love and care! :D 

We are thankful to the Lord for this amazing and wonderful experience! 

We had to say bye to summer, cause most of them will be hopefully gone to host families and summer camps as well as other places for summer! But we are looking forward to continue this experience in the fall when the schools starts! 

Many blessings to all and have a great summer!

May 14, 2011 Soccer Christian Championship

Spring time brought  a lot of fun times and games! One of them was the Christian Soccer Championship that took place in Chisinau were different churches played soccer. The main goal of these games was to share the Gospel to the young people participanting in the Championship. Each participating Church invited a group of non-believers to play football (soccer) and have the chance to win the final game and take the first place. 

There were more than 10 teams and they played several weeks to finnaly get to the finals! 

Among the participants our Church from Vatra also was represented by a great team of guys that actually took the first place in the championship! It was a great time! We got the chance to and talk to our team! Also we invited them to a special evening organized to celebrate their victory where we had the chance to talk to them about the most important victory in their lives - TO BE SAVED AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE! :D God blessed us with these people and we are looking forward to see how He will continue His work in their lives! Several of them are open to talks and meetings with our youth leader as well as with the youth!

Please pray for this new ministry that our church started and may God's name be glorified through all we do!
Many blessings to all!
