in February ’09 to share the good news of all God is doing through
their School and Community.

help an impoverished community – they might discover the Greatest Love
of all.
5.
A successful Appeal for Panna Szalo’s Heart Operations.
6.
The tremendous support that The Smiles Foundation
receives each month. That people will continue to be generous in their
support and that many more will join the thousands already supporting.
7.
The Trustees, Staff and Volunteers of Smiles who work so hard
day to day to serve God and those we help in Romania.
8.
The Missionaries – who respond to God’s Call – leaving Home,
Family and Friends. Pray especially for their Health & Strength –
physically, emotionally and spiritually.
9.
The Staff changes in the UK Office and Romanian projects – that
God will enable the new people to take over the responsibilities and
take the work to the next level.
10.
That
God will reveal Himself to the 1,300 + people we serve in His Name
every day in Romania – that through the projects you support, people
may come to know the One, True, Living God.
Our prayer is to put Smiles on faces in
the Name of Christ.
To help people, especially children, to know
they are loved and not forgotten whatever their circumstances.
To share from the bounty God has blessed us with, with those in need
of basic shelter, food and love.
Thank you
for your prayerful support
