Summer Intern Team 2007

The Summer Interns have arrived! We are excited to once again have a wonderful group of folks serve alongside our staff in the summer ministries of Livada. Camp, day camps, baby hospital ministry and much more will kick off soon and all of these interns arrived today ready to serve. They have come with one heart... to love the Lord, love the kids, love the staff, love the teams and love each other. We are so glad they are here!

This year we have the extra bonus of the Briley family being back with us in Romania to serve as the leaders/pastors of this intern group. We couldn't have asked for more! We are thrilled to have the Briley's and the intern team here and are looking forward to a summer of sharing Christ and His love with the orphaned and abandoned children of our county together!


It is hard to change your time clock after flying over the ocean, so we had a welcome dinner for the interns to help keep them up a little bit so that their bodies would adjust to the time change.


Pray for the interns this summer. They are called upon to serve many times in ways that are out of their comfort zone in a country where they know little of the culture or language. Pray that they will be unified and work together well. Pray for them to enjoy the little things and not let little annoyances get to them. Pray for God to show them more of Himself this summer. Pray that they will have opportunities to be God's hands, smile, ears and words to these children and the others that they will serve alongside.

A few of the interns have set up their own blogs to help their friends and family keep up with their time of ministry here in Romania. You can visit them to gain another perspective on the summer ministries... Here are their blog addresses...
