Adventure in Missions - Women of Life Center

There is no way we could have been prepared for the conditions we found in Bucharest recently ( May, 2007). Our hearts were broken as we made our way through the sea of abandoned babies in the hospitals. We held each baby, prayed for them and named those who didn’t have a name. There are over 4000 abandoned babies in Romania! It is an epidemic. But the joy we experienced as we worked with the mothers in the Casa Agar Maternal Center. This is a place where mothers who choose not to abandon their baby can live and be helped with education, parental training, emotional support and introduced to Jesus and the power of God to change lives. It was an honor to work with Raegan Glugosh, full time Assemblies of God missionary and her staff at Touched Romania ministries (www.touchedromania.org). Our theme verse is, “If you hold on to your life you will lose it, if you give your life away, you will find it indeed.”

Romania Team Members consisted of:

Marietta Brown, Tammy Crowell, Hope Davis, Dorothy Lovelace, Kathleen McDaniel, Tami McKnight, Gayle McNeil, Carol Richards.
