Dear Friends:
You must be praying, because we are seeing results like never before!
 |
Two more Containers from GEMS are on their way to Romania. This means more than a million meals for the needy, plus clothing & bedding, etc., etc., for scores of thousands! |
| This picture shows Flooded areas recently inundated by the mighty Danube River. 15,000 houses were destroyed, & many thousands left homeless. |
 |
 |
Our new truck has made four trips in the past few days into the flood-devastated areas. "The people have lost hope," says our correspondent, "they had to run for their lives. They now live in tent-villages, or where ever they can find shelter. They are on the very edge of life!" |
Jesus told us to feed the hungry, cloth the destitute, supply water for the thirsty, bring help to the sick, and in doing this, He said, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these, My brothers, you did it unto Me.”
How wonderful to be able to minister to Jesus!
We bought a new Truck for hauling supplies. Together with a trailer, we can now move four tons on each mercy trip. It is a four-wheel drive, which enables us to move supplies across fields when roads are washed out.
Bicycles are especially good when so many roads are impassable. We distribute lots of these.
| Scores of thousands of people are trying to survive! Those who have tents are the fortunate ones. Government officials help us unload supplies at one of the many Tent villages. 12,000 homes were destroyed when the mighty Danube became several kilometers wider than its normal banks. |

Two Doctor’s examining tables, plus many hospital beds and a lot of medical supplies were in our last two containers. With our dream of a Medical Clinic becoming a reality this summer, these things will be very useful! Please pray with us, as we expect to begin building very soon. Some very exciting things are in the offing! |
| Our Mini-Farms are planted & growing! Quite a number of families have become con-verted through this project of love. Thank you for making it possible. Last year the harvest was about 150 tons of corn! |

Another Cow for a poor family. They had just suffered a big loss. It was a bad day for them. At 11 a.m. they learned that we had a cow for them. Their sorrow turned into great joy! |
| I do a lot of preaching in the evenings and on Sundays. Sowing the Good Seed of the Gospel is our number one priority. We held meetings with much blessing in six cities in April. |

 We held a Banquet for our Orphan Boys. Fourteen years ago we initiated this ministry. Most of the boys are grown & married men now. They want to say "Thank You" for making a better life possible! Here are a few of them.
There is a Feeding Program Operating out of the Orphan’s Church. 150 poor Folk get a hearty noon meal. The food is supplied from our Supply Depot. We, in turn, received 160 barrels of Soup-mix & dried apples from Gleaners in Abbotsford. That is enough food for 1 million and a half meals! Jesus is still feeding the hungry multitudes!
Two little ones, brother & sister, are among the multitudes we feed, clothe, & provide for in many ways. The boy is an acrobat who walks on his hands easily. Both were abandoned. When found, both were badly undernourished. A mother dog was keeping the little girl alive by nursing her. 100,000 Romanian Orphans each have a sad story to tell.
Over 14 years, we have been able to help many Orphanages, Hospitals, Mental Homes, Children’s Hospitals, Flood Victims, Churches, Poor Villages, Aids Hospitals, people burdened down with the depression of severe poverty. We have received containers and truckloads of supplies from Canada, United States, Norway, Canada, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Malta, & other places. Scores of containers of Mercy! But, you have helped us all along the way with your prayers & support! THANK YOU & God bless you!
 We huddle over Plans for a medical clinic. Doctors Anca & Daniela tell us that all government clinics will be sold to family doctors this summer, - so, we should soon own one.
At the same time, property has been donated for an Orphanage, a Home for Senior Widows, and a Medical Clinic. Our doctors are excited about the prospects.
Fourteen years ago we partnered with Pastor Mitica in rescuing Orphan boys from the streets.
This beautiful church was built by forty orphans whom we offered a home, an education, all needful amenities of life, and an apprentice-ship in the building trade.
 Pastor Mitica is so pleased with how “his boys” turned out, that he is ready to start raising another forty!
So, what have we got within one church? – An Orphanage, a Home for Senior Widows, and a Mini-Hospital. Isn’t this what the Bible tells us a church should look like?
Thank you for helping us to make it happen!
