The ministry to the abandoned babies of our area takes place at the hospital in Ludus. Rodica Maier from our Romanian staff leads this ministry throughout the year. She and her volunteers work with the infants and toddlers several times a week.
This summer Rodica and her volunteers were joined by Heather, one of our American Interns for the summer. Heather and volunteers were able to expand the baby ministry for the summer and went morning and afternoon each day! It was a blessing to watch special moments with the kids like first steps for a little boy named Gabi and another little boy named Olympiu be moved from the infants to the toddlers as he was sitting up and more active. Many of our in town team members were able to take a day or two and visit the babies as well.
A while back there was a church which donated money towards buying rocking chairs for the baby hospital, so that there would be somewhere to sit and rock these sweet babies. We purchased all the rockers that would fit and were still able to purchase strollers and walkers so that those who worked with the babies this summer could actually get them out of the hospital for a time and allow them some sun and fresh air. What a blessing these gifts have been this summer and will continue to be as we minister to these precious little ones.
