We will be having the fall banquet this coming Monday October 17, 2011 at Yoder’s Banquet Facilities at 6:15.  If interested in tickets please call (717)371-0505. More information closer to the date.

We are in the process of building a home for the boys at House of Joy Orphanage.  It is going to cost us approximately $150,000.00 (depending on the value of the US Dollar) We so far have been able to raise around $100,000.00 but still need to raise the rest.  They currently are putting the roof on the home and hope to have the boys move in sometime soon.

Thank you everyone who helped with making our RCOF Benefit Auction a success!  We were able to raise $41,183.00 towards helping out the House of Joy Orphanage.

Thank you everyone that came and supported and donated towards the work God is doing in Romania. The auction brought $8,360.00 and there were donations of $38,107.00. Comes to a total of $38,107.00. Thank you!!!

The children are excited to be able to have more room. We plan to build another home for the boys in the orphanage under roof by this fall. We are planning to have it finished by next summer. The total cost will be over $100,000.00.

The children are enjoying their summer break from school. Vasile finished 5th grade third in his class. Ema finished 1st grade with very good grades. Roxana recently hurt her arm currently has a cast on. We have a new member of House of Joy. Her name is Melissa and she is 4. She is having a hard time dealing with her mother leaving.

They are planning on taking the children to the mountains for a week, which the children are very excited about.

The Romanian Banquet was a success. The offering and the auction came to a grand total of $38,169.00. The money will be divided between the House of Joy new building for the boys, and buying building material for the church in the south. Thank you for everyone that supported the Romanian Christian Outreach Foundation Banquet.

Additional housing is needed so the boys at House of Joy orphanage can have separate sleeping quarters from the girls.  Another project that needs immediate attention involves installing a pipe to close in a sewage ditch that currently runs through the property.  The funds needed are approximately $80,000.00 to start the project.  (pictured below)

RCOF is in the process of building/remodeling two more church buildings. They are hopefully going to be done in October sometime, which at that time another team is planning on going over for their dedications.
