The gifts are here! The gifts are here! This is what two children said jumping and running around the room as soon as their mom opened the door and they saw the gifts in our arms! :-) It felt wonderful to deliver gifts to the children that come to the YWAM Day Center and to their brothers and sisters (around 50 children)! On a cold December day together with 2 Day Center staff Alina visited the children's homes to bring the gifts provided my Ecce Home organization. We are grafetul to those who worked hard to make this possible! Also their hearts were sad because for most of them these boxes are the only Christmas gifts they get this year.

Alex was more than excited for the chance to attend a 5 day seminar on programs like Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. Even if it meant travelling for 17 hours by train, across the country one way.
Being part of a group of 25 people and having excellent speakers made this seminar a great learning enviroment! Alex will use the new information he's learnt to edit future books for the YWAM Romania Publishing House and for other advertising materials for the ministry.  |

One day I watched a movie with two girls trading homes (was one from England and one from US) for vacation and I couldn't believe the idea itself :-) A couple of weeks later Alex got an email from a friend from Brasov, a city in the Romanian mountains, asking if we wanted to trade homes. We were excited for the idea! That's how we spent the vacation in Brasov :-) After 8 hours on the train we arrived there in the morning and we started a journey of discovering this beautiful city. The mornings were put aside for sleeping and again sleeping and in the evenings we played Ticket to Ride for hours.... In between we visited the Hunters' Tower, the Rope's Street (one of the narrowest streets in Europe), the Zoo Park, the Rose Park. I very much enjoyed the visit at the Black Church and the beautiful organ concert. One day we admired the city from up the mountain after we went up with the funicular. Alex was very excited for the Avdventure Park where after we rented the equipment he tried as many level as he could (climbing, walking on rope, stepping on moving pieces of wood, etc). We very much enjoyed our vacation had only one regret .....We wish the vacation were longer :-) |

Michelle from the States came to Constanta for 2 weeks and organized many creative activities for the children. They loved to paint, draw what they want to do when they grow up (chef, fire fighter, etc), diobracellets, make boxes, paint their names, take pictures and make photo albums …
In the last day the kids and the staff came to the YWAM Coffee House to have desert and to hear the kids talk about their paintings! THANK YOU SO MUCH MICHELLE for your generosity and for all your work!!!

10 minutes after Alina together with a staff and 3 girls living at the Girls’ Shelter got to the beach which is 10 minutes away walking from the Shelter, it started to rain. Because there were not many clouds on the scy they decided not to go home and wait for the rain to stop. About 2o minutes later the rain stopped, they went into the sea which was very warm by now. They played, swam and enjoyed the 2 rainbows above the Black Sea! |

Every year, Easter is a special for the children at the Day Center :-) They love to sing special songs, read poems, share a special meal with their moms at the Day Center and before they go home, they receive.. the gifts! The children are very happy to have a week off from school (April 12th-20th) and we hope they will have a peaceful time at home. This year Easter in Romania is celebrated on April 19th.

The second 4 day seminar organized by YWAM Europe and taught by a couple of guys from the Navigators took place in the beautiful city of Timisoara (Alina’s home city) in March.
These 4 days spent together with 20 other co-workers were more than a seminar! The discussion groups, the devotional times, the fellowship over meals and the fun we had together in the evenings watching a movie or walking downtown made this time a wonderful break from the “normal” work 
We evaluated the work we do and we came to some conclusions: Alex’s passion is to use the internet and the technology for God’s kingdom and through webpages, advertising materials, books… he uses his giftings Alina is now looking into working less with papers and more with people (maybe with the children at the YWAM Day Center or something else within YWAM). We are looking forward to the last 4 day seminar in June!
After the seminar, we attended the YWAM Romania Leadership Team meetings and then visited Alina’s family

Youth With A Mission Norway invited us and two colleagues to go to Grimerud in Norway for 5 days and attend a publishing seminar. It was a great chance to learn about the life of a book, editing, marketing, etc. The days were busy, we left the room at 8am and returned after 11pm :) We heard a lot of useful information and felt privilege to learn from their experience of 30 years of selling books. We enjoyed our time very much and wish we could stay longer. |
