As the war in Ukraine continues, Remember the Children remains committed to assisting with the changing needs through local partnerships. Our friend Jaco recently shared about a specific need that RTC is helping to address.
New Year as a Refugee
New Year is a time of hope and expectation, but for our Ukrainian friends it marks yet another year of war and praying to someday return to a peace filled homeland. There are still several refugees living at the East European Bible College through the support of RTC. EEBC reaches many more refugees in the Oradea region, offering supplies, education, and community. The Ukrainian community also utilizes the campus chapel for Sunday worship services.

"We Knew We Had to Do Something"
Children Making a Difference
One of the most incredible things we've seen over the course of the last 2 months has been how much God uses ordinary, faithful people to fulfill his mission on Earth. One example of this is the children's ministry of the First Church of Christ in Xenia, Ohio. Check out this incredible story sent to us by Allison Phillips!
A Blessed Encounter
The church service had ended, and we were invited to stay for a fellowship dinner in the church basement. I had just preached on “prayer” and the service had been emotional for me. I was there with a team from the United States as well as the Romanian congregation and Ukrainian refugees. I had used the hymn “How Great Thou Art” in an illustration, and the pastor ended up using it as the closing song for the service. My eyes were tear filled as three languages sang, “then sings my soul, my Savior, God to thee. How great thou art!”
There's No Place Like Home
We’re all probably aware of the famous line from the Wizard of Oz that says, “there’s no place like home”. Even when I go away for an exciting vacation, business trip, or just take a relaxing day trip, I’m always so glad to get home where I feel safe and comfortable, where I can relax and unwind, sleep in my own bed and be with family and loved ones. There I can truly rest. Home is definitely where the heart is!
