It is very hard to select only a few pictures and stories to share from a full summer of ministry. We have tried to show some highlights of our ministy here in Romania this year. We hope you enjoy seeing the pictures and can grasp an understanding of what we try to do here as we minister in the Lord's name.
The first picture is a group photo of our Bible Club in Vinga. The next one is a little girl (in the wheelchair) who loves to the Bible Clubs. The little girl who is with her always comes and helps her. I asked if they were sisters and they said no, just good friends. The next picture is of 2 of our youngest children who come to the Bible Club. These pictures are from our June 12, 2009 Bible Club.
These 3 pictures(above) are of 2 of our neighbor children. They still love to come here to swing and play even though we no longer have children living here. In Romania the women do a lot of the work, so as you can see above Larisa is pulling Abel in the wagon. She is getting her training early.
Here in these 2 photos,some children in Hunedoara Timisana are selecting the clothes they want as their prize for acomplishments in the camp activities. These clothes are from donations of a container ministry we help with in the clearing and distribution of the goods.
These are boxes that have been loaded and will go to a nearby village. This is also part of the container ministry we help with.
Here the children in Bozovici are working on the craft project at our Bible Club on Aug. 1.
The completed project. Our story was of Noah's faith and trust in God.
Here are the children with the New Testaments they received. These Bibles were purchased by Gretna Baptist Church in Gretna, Florida for distribution in our Bible Clubs.
In Sopotul Vechi we are teaching the children a new song.
These 3 pictures are of the children working on their tree for Zacchaeus. God called him down from the tree because he wanted to abide in his heart, just as He still does today calls us out and wants to forgive us our sins and abide in our hearts and lives.
Above are pictures taken at a Grismill outside of Bozovici. We visited this on our way home from the Bible Clubs. This grismill is still in operation. This is a beautiful area of the country.
In Vinga we have 2 Family Practice Doctors. Above is pictured their assistants & nurses receiving some donations of medical supplies (bandages, insulin seringes, glucose monitors, etc.)which were in the container we helped distribute this summer.
These are the children who lived with us for 14 months in our "Family Home". Diana, Andreea, Lori and Dani came for a visit on Sept. 7 and spent one night with us. They are all in school and enjoy it. They are pictured at he complex where they live. They live in a 2 room apartment to the left of them (not the one you see in the picture). We took them shopping for some school clothes. So they all went home with something new to wear. They seem to be doing well but when we took them home, they didn't want us to leave them, especially Diana & Lori. Please pray for these children.

Highlights of Summer 2009: Bethel Baptist Mission Team
The team offers reading glasses as a means of ministering to the spiritual needs of the patients. They ask them to read from the Bible to find the correct strength. Then they witness to them concerning their spiritual condition.
Patricia & Angi evaluate health needs before the patient sees the doctor.
Doris is pictured with the patients who are waiting to see the doctor.
Pictured above are some of the team members with the children in Clodova. The children really like the balloon animals Jason made for them.
The youth on the team join the Romanian youth, who served as our translators,in singing in the worship service. They each sung in their own language and it blended together very well.
