Sofronea

This weekend, Aubrey and I stayed with Angi, one of the first children placed by RCE more than ten years ago. She is now 20 and her wedding is in August! Angi grew up in Sofronea, a village near Arad.

Mimi and Carmen, husband-wife duo in the Social Department, are the driving force behind the adoptions RCE has arranged in Sofronea. Through their relationships at the Baptist church there, a total of eleven children have been placed or adopted into Christian families. It is so encouraging to sit in the Sunday morning service and look around at all the families worshiping God together in this place.

Yesterday, I interviewed Nicoleta Bogosel, another child adopted into a Sofronean family. Nico played the piano for an RCE event a few years ago in the U.S. and her mother teaches at the Sunshine School. Aubrey and I had the privilege of staying with them for a week at the beginning of June. Here is a picture of Nico holding Claudia, one of the children in the cottages.
