World Wide “Giving Tuesday”
Giving Tuesday is a global movement that encourages people to come together and support charitable causes, and we are excited to join this initiative to make a positive impact!. It aligns perfectly with the values of our ministry, reflecting the spirit of generosity and selflessness exemplified by our Lord, Jesus Christ.

In the Gospel of Luke, we are reminded of Jesus' words, "Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you" (Luke 6:38, NIV). This verse encapsulates the essence of Giving Tuesday, emphasising the joy and blessings that come from giving to others.

As a family, we have been actively involved in making a positive impact on the community we serve in Cluj, Romania. Here is a modest list of our involvement in these specific activities:
* Volunteering for the House- Building Project : We have generously donated time and effort to assist in the construction of a home, providing much needed shelter for a family in a nearby village.
* Ministering to Youth and Children in the village of Pata RÂT: We have shown our unwavering support for the youth and children in Pata RÂT by engaging in ministry activities twice a week. It is a testament to our deep concern for the well-being and development of the younger generation. Through these efforts of writing curriculum, mentorship, guidance, and biblical-based teaching we are helping these young individuals obtain hope for a better future.
* Ministering to Adults at the village of Pata RÂT : In addition to their work with youth and children, we also extend our ministry efforts to the adults of Pata RÂT, dedicating one day a week to this cause. We offer biblical classes, counseling, and support, creating a positive impact on these adults.
* Emergency Relief Supplies to Ukraine: Partnering with pastors and transporting emergency relief supplies to Ukraine is a response to the urgent needs of individuals in several cities facing crisis from the Russian invasion. By supplying essential items and food for life as well as the Good News of the Gospel, we are directly contributing to alleviating the suffering and bringing peace to those affected by this crisis.
* Providing groceries for precious families in Romania and Ukraine: As part of our commitment to spreading the love of God, we are currently preparing to feed 150 or more families with bags of groceries for Christmas.
