Intern Update from the Ministry Field
Mia Penrose, Children to Love Romania Intern 🛬 Arrival & First Impressions About three months ago, I moved to Bucharest, Romania to serve with Children to Love. In the beginning, I worked together with a team from Living Grace Church to support the ministry by sharing testimonies with the children, performing skits about God's mercy and forgiveness, and getting a glimpse into the impact of CTL’s work. That short time with the team made me feel excited and blessed for this op

I Saw The Bible Come Alive In Romania
Scott Rossi’s Testimony CTL Romania Team Member and CTL Board Member I went into this mission trip to CTL Romania with the mindset of completely letting go and letting God take me on this journey in any direction He deemed necessary. Once I allowed that to happen, He blew me away with His loving touches and filled my days with hope, energy and a better understanding of how much He loves all of us! During our time there, we attended a two- hour church service, which was all

A nurse's perspective serving at Mercy Medical Clinic in Uganda
My name is Dena Mojo and I went on a short-term mission trip to Uganda with Children to Love. We visited Mercy Childcare Ministry, which includes Mercy Village, the boarding school, the international school, the church and the medical clinic, as well as ministries outside of the town. I would say one of the most rewarding, fascinating, and just overall blessed events that we took part in was going out into the very primitive town of Pallisa where quite literally the resident

I just returned from Ukraine 🇺🇦
My husband and I just returned from Ukraine. We spent a week visiting our CTL ministry partner Future for Children, spending time with the kids and loving on and encouraging the weary staff. The Lord opened the door for us to go and we felt His protection throughout the entire trip. We experienced three air alarms during our time in Lviv, a quite startling and unsettling dose of reality there. Not even two weeks after returning home, Russia attacked Lviv once again. This atta

Greeted With Warmth And Love
I came back from Thailand with my heart filled with love and concern for the people I met. One of the most impactful experiences for me was the nightly worship time that we spent with the children at the boarding house. The first time we met the children, they were working on their studies and greeted us with warmth and love, eager to show us around. They were so proud to show us where they lived, and I could not hold back the tears. We have so much in the way of material goo

With My Own Eyes
Prior to taking my first trip to Mercy Childcare Ministry (MCCM) in Uganda and seeing the ministry with my own eyes, I had a very one-dimensional perspective of the ministry. I had visited Mercy Village through photos and walked the classrooms of Mercy Boarding School through video footage. I had heard stories of the mothers in the micro loans program and written in length about the construction progress at the Worship House church in Nansana. I spent the past three and half
