Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27

Dear Friends.
It is beautiful fall weather in Romania. The fall colors are awesome. The farmers are all out harvesting their fields. It is an enjoyable time of year.
The teenagers went to another youth night in Timisoara. There is always good praise and worship, teaching, and fellowship. Everyone enjoys going and it lifts them up for another week of school. Four of our teenagers are now volunteering in the children’s department at their church. They have been given several responsibilities which is so good for them. Learning to be responsible is so important for young people.
The chef continues to come on a regular basis to teach everyone basic cooking skills. This will help them so much when they eventually are out on their own. They also attended a culinary fair where they could see other people’s creations and try all types of food. The various kinds of sweets were probably everyone’s favorites.
An afternoon of beach volleyball was organized by a youth sports center in Timisoara. All the children and teenagers went and participated. They found out that playing in sand is a little different than grass. They all had a fun time.
Beraca has been able to help several people this past month. We bought school clothes for students in need. We also bought food for many families and young people who are on their own. And we purchased diapers for families that really needed the help. It is very fulfilling to help people who are in desperate need.
Because of your generous donations, we are able to bless many people as well as our own children and teenagers. Thank you so much. We also appreciate all your prayers for the ministry. Enjoy the beautiful fall weather.
