The Good News Senior Home in Slimnic has 28 residents. More than ten of whom have little or no means of support. All of them are widowed or have lost their children. However, thanks to the efforts of our VBS children, FCC donated enough money to heat the facility for one month! Nistor and Rodica, the Directors of the home, wanted us to pass along to you their heartfelt and sincere "Thank you FCC!"
By the way, yes, that is a greenhouse in front of the facility. They are doing everything they can to cut costs while providing a high nutrition diet for the residents. Moreover, in an effort to become self-sustaining, they would like to expand and upgrade the facility. Doing so would attract seniors who could pay a market rate for their stay. The additional income would help to balance out the costs for those of meager resources.
Nistor told us of one senior who he found living in a stable. Yes, just like Jesus. Only, this senior was abandoned, surrounded by rats, and his without care to the point that his toenails had grown so long they curled around to the bottoms of his toes. Yet, this man came to the home and, during his stay, committed his life to Jesus.
It is through project such as these that FCC is reaching out and helping people in desperate circumstances.
Blessings,
Pastor Kevin.

Thank you both Pastor Kevin and Pastor Rich for being our eyes, ears and hearts-through you we are able to touch the lives of those to whom you are ministering. And they are able to touch our lives-we need to hear their stories. We need to know how to pray. We need to know how we can live out our calling with a view towards all His children, for His glory.
We'll keep praying for you and those you've met, and pray you both safely back home.
