The Lord Jesus said once “ you have the poor with you all the time” and we get to see them all over around us. Praise God there are not only poor people but generous Christians as well , willing and ready to do something about it .
Neemiah House ,proved to be such Christians that care about the needs of others around and they provided us with clothes for some people and children in our area.
To some of the people that benefit from this generosity we took pictures , and it will take many pages to write their reactions ,but they were all excited.
Florin –he is 13 and he is paralised since he was 7 or so .We noticed that his parents have a hard time looking after him ,it gets harder and harder and they did not have enough clothes to change him since he has no way to go out by himself .
He was sure glad to receive the clothes .Florin watched us as we got his jacket ,vest ,blouse and most of all his jeans . None of his parents have job ,his father drinks whatever he makes working here and there .He is staying with his parents ,his sister and his grandmother and grand-grandmother .When his grandmother saw his huge smile ,she started to cry.” You do not get to see him smiling often ,but now he is happy. Somebody cares”.
An old lady ,a neighbor from the place we do camps – Tia is 74 .In the last weeks she was sick all the time ,but when we look down to her feet she did not have proper boots ,just a pair of plastic sleepers and wet socks
For her we could find a pair of good boots ,a green vest that since last days when she got it ,she wears it even when she gets to bed ,soooooo excited about it .With her are staying her daughter with 2 little children and her husband .
Little Betty got a pink jacket .That made her forget we are there ,though usually she is excited to get visitors ,but this time ,she has her own jacket , and on the top of everything it is pink one.
Since we got bunch of diapers for babies, we went to the gypsy camp in Valea Badenilor and gave to all babies, diapers and clothes .We almost forgot of their needs ,but when you see no running water in their homes and think of the young moms washing with cold water from the river all their clothes ,then you think “ these diapers really make a difference”
Not to mention they do not know what a crib is …for the ones of you do not know ..they keep their babies in a basket, hanged over parents bed
All of them said “thank you very much “.
As we noticed these clothes brought joy into people and children’s hearts . We continue to bring some needs before the Lord ,and as God provides to take them to the ones in need.
Therefore , please pray for
- medical needs in villages (vitamins ,medicines ,diapers etc)
- hygiene supplies
- more people to get involved in the work, since the opportunities are great.
