An evening with the girls! Reghina, Coco and Sibi at the kitchen table, cutting up veggies for soup and salad. Reghina made a wonderful soup (Supa de fasole) made with beans, smoked pork ribs, peppers, onion and carrots. Garlic bread, salad and icecream completed the meal. Afterward we played ping-pong and a table game. This afternoon on the way home from the mkt. I found a stray kitten and brought it home. Daryl was not real pleased, but the girls were..... especially Reghina !

Coco said it was her day - she beat Thomas in two games of ping-pong and was also the winner in the game of dice! THE WINNER - with Christy at the picnic table

This house was recently purchased in the mountain village of Fenes for a church building. This village has approximately 1000 people and this is the only evangelical meeting place. Considerable debt remains and renovations will be needed. If anyone would like to help with this project, or you have questions about it, contact us by e-mail. Or you can get in contact with SLM board member, Pete Gingerich.

Maria and her 4 children. Please pray for this family, especially that Andre, the father would sense his responsibility to provide for his wife and children. Some of the HOPE girls doing up strawberries that they and Christy had picked from Tudor's patch in Hapria. It was good to have William here for two weeks in May!

Vasile Tofan and Alin Cucu at the farm of Emanuel Christian Center, a ministry to exconvicts. Alin and Vasile with their wives at a small park in Braila, next to the Danube River.

The modest living quarters of the inmates who come to the farm. While it is not fancy, they said it is better than prison conditions. They are making plans for improvements as the Lord supplies the funds.
