That is Albert’s story. It is a compelling story and one that Albert shares with all the other abandoned children that RCE has rescued since 1992. Albert was welcomed into the Boar family as a son, and welcomed into the family of God through his faith in Christ and his story touched the hearts of all who gathered at McLean Presbyterian Church on Oct. 1st where RCE began 30 years ago.
Watch Albert’s story here:
Pastors from RCE’s two cornerstone churches, Fourth Presbyterian Church (MD) and McLean Presbyterian Church (VA), brought greetings and their own personal experiences of seeing the ‘harvest of mercy’ in Romania over the years. Over 200 friends and partners of the ministry enjoyed the good food and sweet fellowship of sharing in this unique partnership in mercy.
Our Romanian friends, RCE managers, Ovidiu Martin, Daniel Buzgau, and Albert, helped tell the stories of RCE and brought special music as well.
There was a quartet and then the congregation sang out in joyous celebration of God’s mercy and our continuous need to be leaning on His everlasting arms.
The evening was concluded with a time to briefly honor Mary Ann Bell for her role in starting this ministry and her steadfast commitment and labor of love for the last thirty years!
And Pastor Steve Smallman, who was the Pastor at McLean Presbyterian Church at the start of RCE, concluded the evening in a celebratory prayer.
Throughout the evening there was wonderful time of fellowship between all who attended. But a very special reunion was between two of the original six Darius House residents pictured on the couch here.
Otilia is third from the left, and Albert is third from the right! Otilia and Albert were together at Darius House for several years.
Otilia was adopted into a family here in the US and she now is a Senior at George Mason University. They were very happy to see one another!
Thank you to all of you who came, who gave, who prayed, and who stand with us in celebration of what God has accomplished in the past and expectation of the years to come.
