What could I, someone who was born in Romania, possibly do for orphans in Moldova? What can I do for Sergiu who will age out of the system soon and doesn't know where he will sleep or what he will eat once the orphanage kicks him out? What could I tell Marcel after he kicked me because he wanted his dad to come back and take care of him? Or what do I say to Vitali who is resentful toward John because John has a mother. What would you say to 12-year-old Petre after he asks you to adopt him? What could I say? What is the correct answer to these questions? How much training must one have to lead a child to Jesus Christ? It's hard to say what my impressions of Moldova are because they are very personal. I was extremely overwhelmed and drained on the first day of the children's need for attention, to the point of despair. All I can say is that everyone that goes on these mission trips, with the intention of working for God, by showing His love, will come back with a more profound understanding of life.
