In Romania, Pathway to Joy cares for orphans, abandoned babies, gypsy kids, and foster kids. Life is hard year-round for these children, especially the winter. The harsh winter conditions in Romania coupled with extreme poverty creates devastating conditions for children who are most affected when food and warm clothing are scarce.
Several ministries and businesses partnered to send a 40ft (semi-sized) shipping container filled with non-perishable foods, warm clothes, quilts, toys musical instruments medical supplies and so much more to arrive in time for Christmas. We are calling this group effort "Project Christmas Joy." Project Christmas Joy gives each of us a tangible, hands on way we can help these children in Romania who have no voice and need someone to speak for them. Can you ENVISION THE JOY?
The shipping container left St. Petersburg, Florida,
October 12th, 2011.
The shipping container arrived (after traveling by truck, ship, train and truck again) to Oradea, Romania, November 28th, 2011.
Four days before the ministry arrives to unload it! Praise the Lord!
You may be asking yourself, How can I help now? This is how:
Make a
ONE-TIME DONATION
through PayPal to help purchase gifts, urgently needed supplies for winter, and even be a part of hosting fun Christmas parties for orphans and gypsy kids.
We want to bring the JOY of Christmas to children forgotten, who long for family, a home, and even a warm meal. Help us to share Jesus, who brings lasting JOY.
Can you ENVISION their faces as they receive your gifts of love? We can!
We wish to thank our sponsors who by their financial support are making Christmas Joy in Romania a reality. To become a sponsor yourself, please email Kim@pathwaytojoy.org
