Stefi's 1st birthday away from the orphanage was full of games and laughter, but later on that evening we were reminded of the battle that is being waged all around us.
The young girl in the photo, whose name is Conie (pronounced with a long O), is from the orphanage in Roman but has been walking the streets of Sofia since she was 16 years old. She is now 19 and has 2 children.
Our prayer that evening was for forgiveness and redemption. Conie desperately wants to change her ways and for a few days, stayed with Nadia, another girl from the orphanage, for whom we are renting an apartment.
Unfortunately, she left yesterday with an unidentified man in a car, without her identity documents. She hasn't been seen or heard from since. She has heard the gospel message from the beginning of our work here, but the enemy is active and keeps drawing her away. Conie is a child of God and we will not stop praying for her. Please join in with us as the battle rages on.
so sad that she's making bad choices. I pray that she asks God for the strength to turn from that way that leads to destruction.
