We have now been back home in Romania just a little over two weeks now. Most of our time has been spent getting things ready to live here again, like vehicle registration, utility service turned back on, and lots of paperwork, but being able to see the youth at Nocrich and the kids in Ghijasa de Jos, has made it worth all the struggles. Our leaders did a great job keeping the ministry going, and we are very happy to be back to reconnect with these youth. Our weekly meetings with both groups have already begun. The youth in Nocrich are opening up and asking more questions. We are continuing with the Christian service projects for the widows of the church that our leaders started while we were gone. During our first meeting in Ghijasa, we were met by one of the older boys dressed like Satan with a whip trying to scare the kids away. The kids all came anyway. We were told this is some kind of "tradition" although it is suppose to be done on the first day of spring, which had been several days before. It was the perfect opportunity for us to remind the kids that I Peter 5:8 is true, that Satan is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, but our true hope is in I John 4:4, that "Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world." It was a reminder to us of what these kids have to go through. Please continue to pray for the youth of Nocrich and the kids of Ghijasa and the camp activities for this coming spring. Thank you all for your kind support and wonderful hospitality during our recent stay. May God's love shine in and through you for the whole world to see.
Robert, Jody and Randy Frye
