My life does not really fit into any type of a normal mold. I am the President of a non-profit organization but at the same time I am a missionary to orphans in Romania. I am a husband but my wife and I live in a house full of orphan girls. I am American but [...]
Dear ROM Prayer Day Supporters, A question we hear frequently is, “what can I do to help?” This month we’d like to answer that question for you! Volunteers are always extremely important to a non-profit. Most non-profits struggle financially and volunteers provide invaluable help. So how can you help? You can volunteer! Here are [...]
I’m sorry, but I just can’t find it. I’ve looked, I really have. Maybe you can help me. Where in the Bible does it say that I am exempt from my sinful actions because of negative things that happened to me when I was growing up? Where does it say that because my parents were [...]
Teaching orphan girls science can be fun…and enlightening! Having gone through four brief lessons on physics we turned our attention to chemistry before moving on to astronomy, biology, and earth sciences.

Has someone ever sinned against you? That is pretty much a rhetorical question because I already know the answer. We live in a sinful world and we are all sinners. I have sinned and been sinned against many times. So what did Jesus teach us that we should do when we are sinned against? In [...]
So what did Jesus have to say about the subject of unity and conflict? Two passages stand out. One passage is applicable when you have sinned against your brother. The other is applicable when he has sinned against you. First let’s deal with what Jesus had to say when we have sinned against our brother. [...]
Someone has said, “if you aim for nothing, you’ll hit it every time”. God has shown us clearly over many years of ministry what we are to be aiming for here at Romanian Orphan Ministries.
