Our mission
Our mission is to offer a helping hand according to the Scriptures. In Philippians 2:13 it is written that it is God who works in us, the believers, to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose. We belong to Jesus and we believe it is Him who wants to live in us and glorify His name in our lives.The purpose of our social projects is to show God’s love and grace to special people in need, only here it is from you - an individual, and not an organization! Do not forget that it is more blessed to give than to receive”! (Acts 20:35)
Our projects
1. “The New Horizons “ Catina project
There are a lot of families in the rural area in Romania affected by severe financial hardship and with extra difficulties such as long-term or terminal illness, violence or abuse, depression, disability or overcrowded and inadequate housing. These are families that face daily hardship made worse by all these and very often they get into the depths of despair and often they neglect their children or even abuse or abandon them.
The level of social inequality are reducing opportunities for children who happen to be on the wrong side of the have/have-not divide. The kids from poor families do not have the ability to achieve their intellectual and economic potential and are socially deprived and doomed to failure.
Currently, our charity hopes to bring hope and God’s light into the lives of these poor fellows. Catina is a big village situated in the middle of Transylvania, Cluj county, 60 km far from Cluj Napoca. There are about 2200 inhabitants and the village population is decreasing .Structurally the population consist of Romanians 75,71%, Hungarians 24,84%, Roma 3,4% and Ukrainians 0,05%.The level of economic development is not very high because there are not too many opportunities for people to finding a good job. There are lots of advantages for business people who would like to invest in the rural area but the investment projects are in a beginning process.
If you adopt a Romanian family from Catina , it may mean the difference in life and death.
Many people will starve to death, or freeze to death this winter due to lack of food or fuel and a few euro a month can make all the difference in the world to them!
You will be given details about the family you adopt, and if you would like to communicate with them, we would do so as much as possible through our translator. Anything is welcome from food, clothes, furniture to money the people need to buy their daily bread. Anytime we can gather the children to celebrate a Christian festival we also need colors, toys, paper, juice and lots of sweets.
Among our projects objectives are:
1.Focusing on poor children and their families.
2. Providing provision of school materials
3. Supporting parents to send their children to the government school,
4. Informing parents about the value of education,
5. Supporting children with extra help in the afternoon,
6. Organizing meetings, seminars and workshops concerning economic, social and spiritual problems in Romania.
7. Performing indoor and outdoor games and sport activity for children and young people who do not have the possibilities at home and who live in poor communities at the weekends,
2.Why paper crafting?
The preschool age is a wonderful learning age for children. This is the time when they have a lot of curiosity and want to explore and know new things. Making crafts is a very creative way for children to spend leisure hours at home. Crafts are a great pastime for kids to indulge in, being an extremely experimental and creative outlet for their minds and developing skills.
These art activities develop children basic motor skills as well as encourage creativity and innovation. While the younger kids can learn about shapes, colors and drawing, older kids can increase their artistic abilities.
In our Paper Crafting Club Turda Project ,children from all ages learn how to interact with one another while they are involved in making crafts and more than this how to thank God who gave them this great gift –to be creative and useful for those around them. These craft projects can also help bring people together - connecting lives, strengthening family ties and forging friendships. The time and dedication put into making the greeting card and a heartfelt Christian message personally handwritten can bring encouragement to someone depressed and in need of a friend. Children who come to our club enjoy spending time together working, praying and having fun. The activities are usually developed in the own apartment of the our project coordinator Stefan Tosa and sometimes children are invited to public schools and kindergartens. All the children need is more crafting material, paper, colors , glue and specific tools. It is great when God shows His abundant love and we receive all these from those who love us.
