Well it is hard to believe that 9 of the teams 11 days have come and past. I have been doing these trips for 8 years and I continue to be amazed at how fast the days go by. I could not be more proud of the team and the work they have done over the past 9 days. Many people do not understand the emotional and physical toll these trips have on people. The work being done with the children is so emotionally taxing because of 2 factors. When you see all the good being done for these children you can't helped but be overcome with emotion. The team learns throughout the week the hurdles these children have to overcome just to get to a normal life. The second reason these trips are so emotionally exhausting is when you see the environment these children come from. Your heart fills with compassion for these children which causes you to work even harder for the Lord to give these children the Hope they deserve and were created for. As the trip leader and Director of Another Child I could not be more proud of a team. Whenever something needed to be done one of the team would step in a make the situation better.
The team was also very impressed with the Fundatia Buckner staff and volunteers. Having brought over a dozen teams to Romania over the years I have seen the staff grow in their confidence in the work they are doing for the Tarneveni community. Volunteers come and go due to the nature of the job but the latest group they have recruited are simply fabulous. ACF appreciates their efforts very much.
With all this being said I want to let all of our followers/readers know how much we need them to act upon becoming a prayer and financial supporter of his ministry today!! All the work being done by these mission teams is great; but if we don't have the financial backing to continue the programs we have accomplished nothing for our Lord. We are depending on YOU to come along side of ACF to continue this god work. So, would you consider becoming a part of our $12 for 12 program. The $12 for 12 program is simply people like yourself giving a monthly gift of $12 , $24, $36, or $48 a month to support the ongoing programs. We need your help today! So CLICK HERE to help us alleviate poverty in this part of God's glorious world. Together WE ARE changing the world like no one else!
