Thank you, from Romania!
Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve had the opportunity to spend some time in Sighișoara Romania, serving with The Mission team here, in Europe!

A major focus at this base is our programs centered around caring for the children of the Roma (Gypsy) community. Across Europe, including here in Romania, these communities face harsh racism and marginalization. Living outcasted from society, in conditions similar to homelessness in the States, families of the Roma community gather together and do what they can to take care of their loved ones.
And our team has stepped in!
With clear direction and passion from our Father, we've remained committed to showing them that they have a safe place and a true home here — where they are seen, loved, and valued within our team, on our campus, and in the kingdom of God.

Over the years, we’ve continued investing in and remodeling the building we purchased several years ago (an old, abandoned clothing factory) — little by little turning it into something even better and more suitable for our amazing kids, because they truly deserve the world!
The Current Project:

Remodeling the bathrooms and showers!

Monday through Friday, we provide a space for the kids to learn about proper hygiene, enjoy two warm meals (breakfast and lunch), receive education through our on-campus school, and most importantly, experience the love of God that’s freely and fully available to them. We help guide them to discover their true identity as sons and daughters of God — giving them permission to dream, and to dream big!

It’s such a joy to see the impact our team at The Mission is making around the world. It’s been a true blessing to join in the work here, in Romania, once again — even if only for a short time.

We’ll be sure to share an update soon with the finished results of the new showers and bathrooms, as YOU have also partnered with us in prayer an support to make this happen!

We greatly appreciate the blessings you've given us by being here with us this far.
It truly means the world!

Sydney & Juan

How you can PRAY for us:

  • Growing our family— We would love to welcome in little ones & be blessed with the gift of new life soon.
