Dear Friends
Thank you to so many of you for your support – whether encouragement for our recent trip, prayers for safety and for our work, or monthly giving. We very much appreciate your kindness.
Our trip to Reghin at the end of September/early October went very well. With our team of 7 and help from 3 Phoneo team members and Florin whose family the house is for, we managed to complete more than we had planned including foundations, walls and roof beams of a one room home. They will now have a safe and weatherproof home ready to withstand the harsh winters.
It was once again both rewarding and humbling to be able to help a poor family in desperate need. Feedback from team members on this trip includes:
“A rewarding and faith-building experience that combined service, teamwork, and cultural connection.”
“Thank you to everyone who made the trip possible, your care and planning made it a truly memorable experience.”
“A fun, engaging and hands-on way to serve the Roma community.”
Our 2026 trip is likely to be Saturday 28 September to Saturday 5 October so please save those dates now if interested. Depending on numbers and work needed, we may add further dates. Please speak to Peter Owen or Pete Ferency at the Lantern for further info or if you, or someone you know, may be interested in joining us on a trip.
It was good to see our friends at Phoneo again and to discuss their projects supporting the Roma communities and how we can continue to work with them.
Please pray:

Please pray:
- Give thanks that we were able once again to help a Roma family and show them that others care
- For the teachers at Selah school as they help the Roma children to attend the local school and get an education
- For protection over the Roma communities that they will stay safe and well in the harsh winter
- For our mission partners Phoneo – that they will recruit more team members needed and will continue to know God’s guidance to carry out His work amongst the Roma communities
