Romania

Hi:

My wife Monika and I have teamed up with International Teams of Canada and the Coping Centre and are going on our first ever mission. We will be going with 3 more people from Coping, 2 people from outside Coping, plus our great leader form I. T. Bob Fukumoto and his wife Jan. Together the 9 of us will be bringing Christmas to over 350 orphane in Romania. We will be leaving on Nov. 28th and returning on Dec. 4th. Monika, myself and two other from the Coping Centre are going on this mission in Memory of Our Dear and Missed LOVED Ones. Our pastoral care giver at the Coping Centre (Heather) is also coming with us.

Monika and I feel so bless that GOD has given us this mission, we can feel him all over it he blesses us every day and reminds us that he is there with us. God will also let Nicole come with us to bless these children. For the first time in 4 1/2 years we are feeling a new purpose in our lives a little one for now but we hope that God has bigger plans for us. We are going to bring one of OUR NICOLE'S dream and hope to reality, helping needy children.

Our Nicole has often written down the 1-800 number from the World Vision commercials, and with her eyes filled with tears and hope in her voice, has asked us to help these children....It is because of her vision, her compassion for children, the love of life and her love for GOD that we are now able to fulfill her hope.

Monika and I wish to thank everyone from the bottom our hearts for your support in our grief journey and for your giving hearts to help us in this Memory Mission.

A touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, a compliment or the smallest act of caring is what we are going to Romania with in hopes that all these acts will have the potential to turn life around if only for one day.

I will write more when we return from our God filled Memorial Mission.

Let us forever be grateful in all that we have here, because somewhere else in this world there is much sadness and suffering.

May God's love keep you all safe

Blessings

Henri
