Dear Friends and Family,
We have been in Romania now barely over a month, and have already been very busy. Our time here though has never been dull and has been very exciting. The mold in our apartment is almost completely cleaned up, and we have finally figured out how the washing machine works. No more problems with flooding the laundry room.
Since we have been here we have all been sick with severe head colds at one time or another. Levi who has been the sickest with a high fever that lasted a week is now finally better. Let’s focus our attention however on the more excited things. This month we celebrated our Lord’s resurrection, what a joy and privilege to have been able to celebrate in another country. Levi started kindergarten. Some days he likes it and others he doesn’t. Chloe had her 2nd birthday which was a real thrill, but also reminded me how fast our kids are growing up. The kids and I have finally managed to get the ladies at our corner store to smile, and we met some of our neighbors. The cutest thing was when Levi gave the two ladies one flower each. What a blessing to see the smiles on their faces, and Levi was blessed with a huge hug and kiss.
Chris has been very busy getting to know the house parents and children of each family center. He also traveled to Jimbolia where he got to see the new









family center that will be opening soon. That was very exciting for all of us. The kids and I wanted to travel with, but it
was a 12 hour drive one way and would have just been too much on the kids. We so enjoyed looking at the pictures when he returned. Soon we will have kids in there and a set of house parents to raise them in. The house was provided to us by The Bridge Foundation and is a huge blessing from our Lord. Please keep this family center in your prayers. Pray for the children that the Lord will place in the center, and also for the House Parents that He is raising up to love them and nurture them with Jesus’ love. Chapel missions will also soon need a church plant there so please pray for the person God will lead to start His church in Jimbolia.
We are very pleased that each one of you could come along side of us in this ministry. Thank you so much for all of your prayers, and support. We look forward to being able to share with you each month what God is doing in the ministry here. Not only with New Beginnings, but also the ministry he has given us in the block in which we live. It is also such a blessing to hear from each of you so thank you for all of the emails we have received.
Many of you ask for prayer requests each time we speak so here is just a short list of things you can be praying for: Levi to adjust to school and make friends, our health, wisdom for Chris in all decisions made for New Beginnings, the two ladies that work at the corner store that God would open their hearts, language learning so we would be able to talk to more people in our building, and God’s guidance in all that we say and do, we want Him to receive all glory and honor.
If you wish to help by supporting us financially you may do so on a monthly or one time basis by sending a check to Calvary Chapel of Boise:

Please make all checks out to Chapel Missions Romania and in the memo section write for Chris and Faith Anderson.

Serving Together in Christ,
Chris, Faith, Levi, and Chloe Anderson
