From the Physical aspect of our mission, we have obtained a 25 year contract with the Romanian government to prevent the closing of the orphanage in Ocna. This prevents siblings from being separated and destroying the only sense of family they know. As of December 2005 the required renovation to bring the building up to code and to meet the standard for foster home environment was paid for and almost completed. A few last tasks will be completed in January 2006 and grand opening and dedication services will be carried out during the spring mission trip.
We also provide medical attention to the orphans and others in need. In January 2006 renovation was started on building # 2 in Ocna Sugatag. An old clinic will be remodeled and used as a location for the treatment of minor injuries and illnesses. Heather Donnelly, an American nurse quit her job at a hospital in Savannah, GA., sold everything she owned and moved to Ocna to manage the clinic. A children's clinic fund account has been established to operate the clinic, purchase medicine and supplies needed to meet the medical needs of the orphans. Support for this fund is on-going.

In addition to the clinic, building # 2 will also house work shops such as carpentry, construction, wood sculpturing, sewing, computer programming and retail to offer training to the orphans with the focus on helping them obtain jobs to support themselves when they leave the orphanage. Volunteers from the US and Romania will help with the training.

Our third project is to build a campground and facilities in Fanata Maramures to accommodate a hundred plus children .The first level of the main building is up. Upon completion of the second level there will be space for church services, first aid clinic and a foster home in addition to the camp facilities. In back of the main building across a stream next to the mountain side, cabins will be built to accommodate teams working during mission trips. This will allow the children of Baia Mare and Ocna to get away from the orphanage for summer camp. The camp will be open to the street children and the gypsies in the area as well. Our long range goal is have orphans from neighboring countries to participate in the Bible camps with the Romanian orphans we minister to.

Our Mission also includes the opening of future foster homes, medical clinics, and campground sites. For more details please refer to the Future Projects web page.



From the spiritual aspect of our mission :

Worldwide Orphans in Need is a Christian ministry that presently works with orphans, gypsies and street children in Romania mostly in the areas of Ocna Sugatag, Sighet ,Cavnic and Baia Mare, Maramures Romania We believe that Salvation is obtained entirely by faith and is made available to man through the grace of God.
We feel that as believers it is our responsibility to bring the light of the Lord into the darkness that destroys the hearts of man."
The sole end of our mission work is to bring glory and honor to God by being obedient to His command to go into the entire world and preach the gospel to all creation.

GOALS:
1. Priority is salvation to the Romanian People
2. Meeting the physical and Spiritual needs of the orphans in Ocna Sugatag and the surrounding areas.

We offer spiritual support by scheduling group mission trips in the spring summer and winter. Several volunteer workers go over at different times throughout the year to work with the orphanages in Ocna and Baia Mare. Vacation Bible School, Crusades with preaching by American pastors, visiting the local churches, concerts, and Bible study with the orphans are just a few of the spiritual ways we use to reach the people. We also strive to spend one on one time with as many of the orphans as possible if they so desire. We provide Bibles and gospel literature where needed. We work with the local churches to assist with any needs they have.
