Pray and watch what happens...

A friend of Livada just sent this to us. It was found in the prayer room at their church and has been there since 2000. This church has been coming to Romania with us before we were officially even "Livada Orphan Care" and has been praying for the kids at the Ludus orphanage since 2000. Each time someone prayed for these requests they initialed it.


It was such a blessing to see how many people have prayed just in this one church over the years for this one group of kids. The first two prayer requests listed are still on our list! The last one... having an ongoing follow up ministry has been going on for over 6 years now and the orphanage in Ludus has closed its doors.

Many of the kids and teens from Ludus have gone through our mentor program, are still in mentor apartments or are living in group homes that Livada has started over the last 5 years. Many others are still participating in follow up weekly with our staff and volunteers and will come to camp with us this summer!

Our prayers are not always answered in our timing, but He is always at work changing hearts, changing lives and changing us. Praise the Lord for what He has done, what He is doing and what is yet to come!

I can't even imagine if there was a card showing all the prayers being lifted up for our kids and this ministry daily! Please continue to pray with us!

Awe Bruce! As soon as I saw that card I knew what it was. My initials are on there somewhere... and I am so thankful to have been on that first trip. I'm in a different state now but I pray for you, your wife and kids, and the "Ludus" children often. Much love!
