> PRAYER FOCUS:
The AKSZA
Mission to street children in Cluj hopes to raise
funds for a ‘half-way house’ for its older children (those aged 18 to 20) who
are still in full-time education. The
plan is to provide a safe place where these young people could be reasonably
independent but still be cared for and educated in life skills, such as
cooking, budgeting and housekeeping.
This is quite an urgent need as many of the young people are already in
this age bracket. Pray for the plans for
this new venture and for the funding that is needed.
