Charity News UPDATE

There is a strong possibility that THE SUNFLOWER FELLOWSHIP ROMANIA charity will NOT be closing down at the end of 2024, but may continue “under new management!” A group of members from a large ecumenical church here in Fleet visited Casa Valentin in August this year, and ran a holiday Bible Club for local children.  Having met with us on their return, two members of the group let us know that they were seriously considering taking over the charity. They are going to Romania at the end of this week for a few days to meet with Adrian and Gabriela and experience some more of day to day life at Casa Valentin. Another couple from the summer trip have said they will join them so that there are four trustees. Further good news is that the American businessman who supports Adrian and Gabriela's project in Tulcea, and who has been generously supporting Casa Valentin for the last year, has agreed to continue doing this for the time being, which will give an opportunity to build up the charity's funds.

We have always been so grateful for all the support you have given over the last 23 years, and we do hope you will continue supporting Casa Valentin, not only financially, but also in prayer. God has been very gracious to us over the years and He has provided our every need. We invite you to continue the journey of faith with us.

At the moment a young Ukrainian Christian couple called Vladimir and Victoria, who are expecting a baby at the end of December, are staying at Casa Valentin. The husband’s father is a Ukrainian Baptist pastor who asked Adrian if the young family could move to a safe place for the birth. The family were very concerned as the older brother had recently been killed in the war and their father is still fighting. Vladimir is hoping to get work locally so they can contribute to the expenses.

We will let you know as soon as we have more definite information.
