The Annual Livada Family Picnic...

Every year right before summer begins we bring all the staff & kids of Livada together for a big annual family picnic! Everyone enjoys a meal together, the staff enjoys the cooking contest and everyone enjoys the fun prize giveaway! We also take the opportunity of having everyone gathered to update our family photo album...

Our Foster Care families who are caring for Madalin & Daniel were also able to join us for the picnic this year...


With the Mentor Program it is a little harder to tell who are the kids and who are the adults as they are all growing up so much. Kati & Ani from the Mentor Program will graduate the summer and several more of our older teens will be moving up from the houses to the apartments in the months to come.



We are so thankful for our Follow Up Staff who spend so much time investing in the over 400 children & teens that we work with in state care. They do weekly programs with the children, help provide dental care and meet other needs and are currently getting geared up for our summer camps which begin in less than a month!

We are thankful for a new addition to this team... Sarah Meszaros moved to Romania in May and will serve on our follow up staff and as the Camp Administrator for the coming year. Please pray for her time of adjustment as she adapts to a new culture and jumps into camp all at once.


And last, but not least, all those on our administrative staff who help keep the ministry of Livada going here in Romania. We are so thankful for each of them.


Thank you for being a part of this amazing family by partnering with us in prayer and through your giving. We are blessed to be a part of what God is doing in the lives of so many here in Romania.
