Meet Alina - A Child of Destiny

    04.19.25 |

    The Children of Destiny program was started to raise needed finances for the work of our nine Community Centers in Calarasi County, Romania.    We consider each of the 800 children we work with weekly to be Children of Destiny who are created and called by the Lord for a special purpose!  Our part is to love, value, and invest in them, helping them to know the Lord better and discover that destiny!

    Children from that community meet 2-4 days a week at our centers.  They are taught to read, learn important life and spiritual lessons, are helped with schoolwork and school supplies, enjoy arts and crafts, learn musical instruments, take field trips, are fed one or two meals, and are helped with humanitarian and medical needs.     

    Due to the poverty in our area, in many cases, our staff’s interaction with the kids is their only family.    

    If you would like to partner with us to help these children, here are two ways to donate:
