Spring news from Casa Shalom

This year has been slipping by so quickly. Some of you may wonder what is happening at Casa Shalom. We are getting ready for some changes. There are always new laws relating to working with children here in Romania. The government wants to close down orphanages and children's homes and have the children stay in foster families. We have been working many months trying to find the parents of some of the abandoned children we have in our home. This has been so time consuming but we are so thrilled that we have found the parents of several of our children. The gov't said they couldn't find them but we didn't take no for an answer.

Now we have been extra busy with our garden and working outside. I love flowers and have planted them everywhere. It will be beautiful this summer. The end of  June we start our first Kids Camp.  So many want to come but we will try to keep the limit at 50 kids for the first camp. We have Paul Gallina coming back from Tennesse with a team to help teach the kids and of course to have lots of fun and fellowship with some real energic Romanian kids. David and Kathy Walker will be bringing a team by for a few days and also minister at the Kids Camp. We want to speak into the lives of these precious young people.

It's going to be down to the wire before we get our house ready for all our campers.  We have spent hundreds of hours
working in the attic to make this a super nice dorm for the girls or the guys. We just painted the room and now need the carpet and light fixtures.  Yes, this will be a little costly but by faith we will have the carpet in and the lights on by the end of June.

I have some exciting stories to write about our kids. I just found the father of one of our little abandoned boys. You talk about being happy. This little boy, Marius is like a light bulb glowing from ear to ear. He is nine yrs. old has been here for  seven yrs.  The father heard he had died in the hospital and never  looked for him.  This was  such a beautiful reunion. Marius will finish his school year and then we make preparations for him to be re-united with his family. We will continue to make monthly visits and see what he has need of and that he is doing well in school. This is what we do for all the children that leave us. It's a new part of the ministry.

I will share more in our new Casa Shalom newsletter.
If you would like to be on our mailing list just send us your name and address.

Have a great day, be thankful for all your blessings.
God is still in control even when  it seems like all is going wrong.  You will see light at the end of the tunnel.  We have been there so we can tell you this from experience.

Shalom,
Becky
Casa Shalom, Romania
