Winter at HOH
It is winter at Horizon of Hope and the temperature went all the way down to -25 C (-13 F) just about 2 weeks ago. We are trying to continue the work with the resources we have and take small steps.
We hired the person that guards the property (Ghita or George) to finish a fence that was started by a team this past summer. So far he is getting closer to having a quarter of the whole fence finished. He is working when the temperature is allowing him so there were not to many days with sunshine and warm weather lately.
The fence before it started snowing
I also want to introduce you to our guard dogs. Two of them were born on the property and know it as their home. They do a great job intimidating people that are interested in anything available on the property. But even so we do have quite a few uninvited “visitors” that are in search of “gratuities”.
We appreciate your support. Our prayer is that the month of April would be a special month of fundraising. As the spring will arrive our hope is to have the necessary funds to finish the next (and the last) level.
Please continue to keep HOH in your prayers!
Thank you!
P.S. If you would like to see more photos I just added press here or choose the Photo tab.

Just a few days ago we received the final papers for the non-profit organization (HOH of Wisconsin) in the US. As of right now Horizon of Hope of Wisconsin is a functional, non-profit organization with tax-deductible status!
We are glad for this step. It is a long waited event. We are thankful to God that now people from the US have a place where they can express their desires to help. We would be honored to receive your donations.
Donations may be sent to:

It has been a long time since the last post. After finishing the slab we are trying to raise the funds for the next step, which is building the outside walls of the second level! My wife and I and our girls are in the US but getting ready to go back to Romania soon!
The Horizon of Hope of Wisconsin, US should be finalized soon. After a long wait we THINK that the approval process should be almost done in a few weeks, if not days. My father-in-law talked to someone from IRS and was assured that it will not be long before we receive the final paper.
Please pray for John and Pauline as they are going through some health problems.
If you are interested in helping Horizon of Hope from the US, Europe, New Zealand, etc. please let us know. You can contact us at mail@horizonofhope.ro. We are always glad and encouraged to see people interested in our vision of investing in Romanian youth and beyond!

After a few months of waiting we have a slab on top of the first floor of the building.
About 2 months ago I was writing in my last post that we should have the slab poured in about a week from that date. Since then we had quite a few moments where we thought that we will have to change the building company we hired. For days we were not able to call and find the owner of the business and the work on the slab was stopped. We finally managed to find the builder and after a few more weeks of playing the cat and the mouse game with him he came and poured the slab.
Today was a rainy day so I thought they won’t be able to pour. But they decided to pour and tried to cover the concrete after it was poured. The rain finally stopped during the late afternoon once the work was finished.
I will let you enjoy looking at some pictures I took today! Please continue to support the Horizon of Hope ministry. We would like to move to the next step if possible! We are in God’s hands so we will wait upon Him!
