NEWS – Wish List Response is outstanding
 

Having had 3 large vans carry much needed supplies to Romania in October, we anticipated it would have to last until Spring. To our amazement, Andrew Taylor of South Wales had other ideas.

 

Unloading the van

 

As pastor of Moriah Christian Fellowship, Andrew launched an appeal for Wish List items to be donated. He would arrange and fund a van to bring the supplies out before Christmas. Even Andrew was shocked by the response, especially a week before he was due to leave when he realised the supplies being donated wouldn’t fit in the van booked.

No worries for Andrew – let’s book another van he said! And 2 more drivers!! And another ferry crossing!!!
Lots of things to organise, but it all fell into place, believing the Lord was in control.

Two more van loads of supplies arrived in Cihei on December 11th and we are so thankful to all the people who generously donated supplies and of course to Andrew for organising the trip and to his travelling companions - Gary Berrill, Mitchell McEwan and Colin Davies.

 

Unloading the van

Pastor Oviedu & Maria help unload

 

Then, due to further support of Andrew Large from Derbyshire organising special stacking beds for the Tileagd Nursery and Paul & Alison Jeanes arranging Irrigation supplies for Gepiu – we had another van needed and so Maria, Georgi and Ilie left Romania straight after Christmas with our big van to load up for the return journey on January 4th. They will be back in Romania by the 6th ready to start work at the office on January 7th.
What a team!

 

Thank you everyone who has been involved with collecting supplies, getting them to Leeds or to Romania for the support
of the people we care for in our projects.
An updated list is now on the Site for you to start collecting and planning the next transit across Europe, probably in April.
