Joy in Heaven

We look at some days of the year as being more important than others. We have Christmas, Easter, birthdays,mother’s day, father’s day and many more. Some of these special days we valuehigher than others. Which day do you think Heaven celebrates the most? The Bible tells us that there is one day in each of our lives when the angels of God have joy in Heaven. Jesus said, “ I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Luke 15:10

Alexandriu DumitrinaAfter 12 years at the Bread of Life Orphanage Dumitrina, now 17, has decided to be baptized. She wanted to make her decision to follow Christ known to her friends and to all the angels. During her few years before coming to us she had lived through many difficulties including her father’s suicide. Such memories can leave emotional scars which make a stable adult life all but impossible. I remember when she came to us at five years old she was so shy she looked down and avoided making eye contact. With God’s help, however, through the love of the other children and our team she has matured and managed to overcome her past. In this new family she experienced the reassurance of God’s love that led her to Christ..

To see the once shy little girl all grown up standing in the cold river accepting Christ is an overwhelming sight. I will not forget what a privileged moment it was for me to be just a few inches away and see the peaceful joy in her eyes. Such moments make all the daily challenges of running an orphanage seem very small. Looking through our spiritual eyes we can see God and the angels celebrating in joy! It is right for you to celebrate with us since your support made today possible.

God will not forget your role in Dumitrina’s life. May God bless you and reward you with eternal treasures.

Christmas reminds us that love came down to dwell among us, and now we have the joy of sharing that same love with others. This year, we invite you to join our Christmas Shoebox Ministry —a simple yet powerful way to bless children in Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Romania. For many, these gifts will be the only ones they receive, but through them they’ll experience the warmth of God’s love and the hope of the gospel.
