Vall Taylor's Latest From Romania

Well it was good to see Anthony, Nick and Mark, it just went so quickly. I’m sure they will have things to share… so just a brief update.

The eleventh hour brought great things. Our first gift came from Womens’ Weekly for the access followed with more help from Christ Church members, and also gifts from other places. We have the access opened. Recorded I understand there are other legal papers to be done, but the gate is open. We have a new address. The factory owner has said why didn’t we do this four years ago… what a change of heart. Much work was going on while the lads were here. I’m sure they will tell you we have the start of a toilet for those who need wheelchair entrance.

The work with our friends Joseph has had a few set backs but great he continues to grow. Many came while our lads were there. Anthony did us proud in music and a young person Andrea. Don’t know what instrument she played but was good and I was amazed the way they played together. It was a real blessing.

The house we are building now has the frame for the roof. We were given some windows, the family are happy in the house we bought or helped to buy ,Josephs set back... his wife miscarried and the hospital needed paying. He had to borrow the money and the man wants it back. He has a chance to sell his house and it will leave him with about 60 pounds. He will have to leave the village and go and live somewhere else and take his children out of school. It is so cruel to think of the position these dear people are in and many are in this place with no help or compassion. They borrow a pound say and the cost almost doubles daily and may have to go somewhere else to borrow more. So one pound could end up being 100 pounds and you cant do anything. Someone else will buy Joseph’s house so he can stay indefinitely.

His children will continue in school. He will take care of the house. He asked how long could he stay till he goes to heaven and as long as his children need a home.
Please pray,
· for the work for these men, the best way to go to help them
· a little girls eye to be healed,
· a change in the government corruption to be exposed
· a fair deal for the poor
· a change in medical help There seems so much.
· for my time here and the way forward,
· new life in the church
· a healing for the people
· a new mind set to come out of the past
· and trust God for change.
· Marianna with liver problems.

The list is endless. Well I did say I would be brief. Good job I didn't have a lot to say. Miss you all. Again thank you. Seems so little to say but what you are doing is good Kingdom building.

God bless you
