The Underground is Back...

The Underground is a program that was started and run by Paul and Fiona Coles for the last two years. The program has been a huge success, and it was something we really wanted to be able to continue doing this year. God has been so good in providing the funds needed, and in giving the remaining Follow Up staff the desire and time to keep it going this year. The first two weeks have been a huge hit, and we have had approximately 70 kids from all over Mures County both weeks. There has been another small change in the Underground as well. One of the other group homes that Paul was visiting with all boys from Şincai is also now being included. We have buses, vans, and cars going all over the county to get all 70 kids to where they need to be.


This week we played a lot of different team games where the kids had to think, work, and play as a group. The kids really enjoy challenges, and they love the excitement of being together as a group to try to win any competition you give them! They had different challenges this week where they had to smell, feel, taste, remember, answer general knowledge questions, and do a magazine scavenger hunt. It was a full night…full of fun and craziness as the kids attempted to be the best team.




Please pray for Rebecca, Alina, and Ovidu, plus our wonderful volunteers to have great, new ideas to help make the Underground fun as well as a time of learning and growth for the many teenagers and young adults who attend.
