4/4 For Friends Action

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who made the “4/4 FOR FRIENDS” action at Liviu Rebreanu Primary School in Târgu Mureș such a resounding success!

The children of this school wholeheartedly participated in this initiative, dedicating their time and effort to collect gift-boxes filled with clothes, school materials, and games as a reward for the Roma kids in Ogra who had no absences. Their compassion and generosity truly touched our hearts.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your incredible support and for spreading love and kindness through this initiative. Together, we can build a more inclusive and compassionate world.

Summer Clothes Drive 2023: Welcome to the LIVADA SUMMER STORE!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

We currently are working with approximately 500+ children/teens in orphan group homes and in our prevention of abandonment ministry. ALL of them need new athletic shoes, socks, and underwear. For the abandoned kids in state-care and the LOC kids in our private full-time care, we also need approximately 270 complete summer outfits.

Please consider joining with us to bless these kids with new summer clothes in Jesus’ name.

INSTRUCTIONS: Click on any icon/photo below to purchase an item for a child/teen.
If you wish to purchase multiple items, click on the photo, then enter the multiple total on the check out page. That will allow you to calculate the total number of items you wish to purchase for the kids, enter your information on our secure check out page, and receive your receipt by email.

*Because of Romanian Customs Taxes, we cannot accept in-kind gifts of clothes/shoes directly at our US office. All of these items will be purchased in Romania and distributed directly to the kids we serve. We will send out tax deductible receipts AND an end of the summer full report with photos and stories.

For Fruit That Will Last,
Bruce and the Livada Team

March Ministry Madness 2023

March Madness is a good symbol for all of the fun March Ministry that has taken place in Romania. I just got back from a quick trip there and it was extremely encouraging to see the creative ways that God’s Word continues to be delivered through the platform of orphan care. To God be the glory. We are humbled and grateful for all the signs of growth.

We had a winter “boot drop” in which the kids all got winter boots and socks. (The Livada Spring Clothes Drive is coming up in April!)

We had a very fun mother-daughter team from California come to help and see all things “livada.” It was a treat to see all of the current impact through their eyes. Gail and Tori really blessed us and greatly encouraged the LOC staff.

The contract was signed with a second hospital to help with more abandoned babies needing daily care. Our foster kids are thriving but we need more foster parents who are faithful and that have passion and a calling for this.

A new Ukrainian family has moved into Casa Rebeca. They will assist us with renovations, greenhouses, AND ministering the Good News to the dozens of other Ukrainian refugees staying with us at Casa Rene.

Follow Up clubs have resumed for the government group homes in Mures county. Pray with us that we can get all clubs up and running again.

Ogra ministry clubs and after school programs are thriving in this Roma (Gypsy) village AND the Ogra teens that live in the high school dorms in Targu Mures are being well loved and discipled by Niss. (She reports that they are ALWAYS hungry and call her often for extra food and other school needs.)

There is ALWAYS more to tell than space or time permits. ENJOY THE WINTER PHOTOS FROM ROMANIA MINISTRY IN ACTION BELOW. Please keep the ministry of Livada in your prayers for continued fruit that will last.

Warmly in Christ from Snowy Romania!

Bruce and the amazing staff of Fundatia LOC

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,

And do not return there without watering the earth

And making it bear and sprout,

And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;

It will not return to Me empty,

Without accomplishing what I desire,

And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11
