Just wanted to send a quick update for the month.
The ministry is going well. The budget is very good right now, thanks to many of you who started sponsoring kids, and donating general gifts and funds. Each house now has everything they need for the kids, and the house parents. We are still praying for house parents for the family center in Bistrita. The couple must be Romanian, and strong Christians walking with the Lord. This is difficult in Romania, but we have put the word out to churches, friends, etc. We still have had no word on this or interviews. We need a couple that is truly called from the Lord to fill this position, so please keep praying faithfully for this as we know the Lord will provide. The kids in this house have been separated for the time, between our family and the other missionary family. Sebi is adjusting well in our family, and has actually although hard at times been a blessing as well. It has been neat to see him grow just the last few months, and to be able to share the Lord with him on a daily basis.
The kids in the Unirea family center are all doing well. The house parents are wonderful to them, the girls are helping the parents with their garden on the weekends, and one of the older girls has been able to start translating for me with the little kids Sunday school class. It is a wonderful experience to see each and every one of them growing. Alexandra the oldest of the kids also was able to come and help me get a vegetable garden going at our own house as well. It was a great day to spend with her, although we were quite dirty, hot and sweaty.
We finished up our girls Bible study in Proverbs 31, and will be having a girls pajama party at our house the last Friday in May to kick off the summer.
Personally we are doing great. We have been working hard on learning the language better, although it still seems to be coming along slow at times. Chris is really good at it, and Levi has finally started speaking Romanian. Levi will be graduating from the kindergarten first week of June, and will start first grade at the Sports School in the fall. Chloe will still be in the small group at the kindergarten for one more year. Mihai is growing so fast and is doing really well, although he eats way more than any of the other kids:) This month we were able to add to our butter, learning how to make yogurt, thanks to the help of Mom (Anderson).
Some things that we need prayer for are that we are still trying to save up enough to furnish our house. We are getting a little furniture at a time as we save. Also we will be doing some traveling in the month of June. Chris will be leaving June 7th for a trip to Austria for a meeting with the pastor from Boise. Then June 22nd we will be traveling to Hungary for the missionary leadership conference. Please pray for safe travels during this time. Chris will be starting a Wednesday night Bible study at the church with all the family center kids, and will be starting a Bible study once a month just for the boys in July. Please pray for all the family center kids as they are finishing up schools, and have exams etc. Please pray for them as well during the summer, as some will be able to visit some family members, or go on little vacations, for safety and the Lord's protection over them. Thank you again for all that you do in the Lord and for being a part of His ministry along side us.
Serving together in Christ,
Chris, Faith, Levi, and Chloe Anderson
