Child praying

Prayer and Praise – October 2017

Please pray for us because when you pray, God hears more than what you say, answers more than we ask and gives more than we imagine in His own time and in His own way.

Praise God for: 

  1. The weddings celebrated in Smiles during September of Anita & Ionut and Georgi & Florin.
  2. A new academic year beginning at Tileagd School & Nursery with 120 children registered.
  3. The NEW Tileagd Assisted Living Facility and the Residents now settling into a new home.
  4. The Medical Services we offer through several projects month by month and for the work professional volunteers provide over the years. This month we thank God for Chris & Pat Calow and all they have done for more than 10 years.
  5. The wonderful response in Northern Ireland for the Container being filled and for a safe journey to Romania and the unload on September 19th.
  6. The Thankful Hearts within Smiles who appreciate the love and support shown to them in Christ.
  7. Volunteers who give so generously of their time and resources, Fund-raising all the time.
  8. The entire Smiles Staff, now 115 Romanian Nationals including the Enterprise Initiative (Sminro) who all serve faithfully month by month to help share the Love of God and enable the poor and disadvantaged to have a better life. We are thankful for the work being directed by the Romanian Management Team, Maria, Georgi and Adi who serve daily with Kevin.
  9. The wonderful work of all our Volunteers, Ambassadors and Key People sharing the opportunities and needs for people to get involved with Smiles.
  10. The work of The Smiles Foundation in transforming lives in the Name of Christ.

Please Pray for:

  1. Continued success in sharing the Good News of the Gospel through our Projects and for more people to make confessions of faith.
  2. The Official Opening of Tileagd Assisted Living Facility scheduled for October 19th 2017. New staff and increased budget to support the requests for residents.
