We, Blackhawk High School Ministry, have been truly blessed with an opportunity to partner with Open Roads which is a ministry that provides support, teaches life and job skills, and teaches Jesus' love to young Romanians who have grown up in the orphanage and now have nowhere to go or anyone to turn to.
This year we are taking only a small "vision team" and are going to dream about the future of Open Roads and our partnership with them, as well as the potential for a partnership with a similar ministry in another part of Romania. We will travel to Targu Mures where we will visit a ministry called Livada Orphan Care (www.livada.org/). Livada has been a ministry for the past 12 years. We are excited to see the things they have been doing in their community and use that knowledge to go back and dream and envision the future of Open Roads, and look at a possible partnership with Livada for our ministries. We are also going to be attending a retreat with orphans from the Craiova area where we will help teach basic life skills and, most importantly, develop trustworthy relationships.
SO, we are very excited to return to Romania and build upon the friendships we already have, and to create new ones. We hope to dream big, and partner with Open Roads to minister to the orphans of Romania, but we also hope to be changed by the inspiring people we will encounter. We ask for your prayers and thoughts as we begin our journey back to the place and friends we love dearly.
Here's a picture of this years vision team:

Ahhh, so exciting that you guys are gearing up for this summer's trip! This new potential partnership aligns SO MUCH with the vision of recent efforts with Open Roads that it truly blows my mind.
What a dream team of trip participants! Michaela, it's awesome to hear about how your heart has been and continues to be shaped by this experience. I can't wait for more updates.
It seems as though we need a new team picture :)
