Advent is a season of miracles. Starting with the miracle so grand it caused angels to sing and shepherds to leave their flocks and go seek Mary and the baby. They returned “praising God for all the things they had heard and seen”.
The Kingdom had come to earth that Christmas night and as the great hymn writer reminds us… ‘It’s not with swords loud clashing nor stir of distant drums but deeds of love and mercy the heavenly kingdom (continues) to come’ when . . .
Orphans are rescued.
Paula (in the gray dress) was once an orphan but now she is a beloved daughter and enjoys singing praises to God who rescued her.
This very week a little boy who had been psychologically tormented and physically abused until he was 7 years old (by his father) moved from Darius House to his own new family where he will know love and life in a community. A great Christmas miracle!
The hungry receive food.
The RCE vans are busy delivering food, firewood, presents, God’s love and Ovi Martin’s special brand of Christmas cheer to needy families in and around Arad.
The sick receive care.
Rafael (new at Sunshine School) finds special education and physical therapy to meet his needs in a warm and friendly place.
Mournful broken hearts rejoice.
And children sing! This class of Sunshine school students (all previously abandoned kids now part of loving families in the Mures River Valley) celebrate Christmas together with their teacher, families, and friends in their own satellite classroom.
Thank you for helping RCE make mercy & miracles happen for those in need at Christmas time and all year long!
Year-end contributions can be given here and are gratefully received.
