Elisa moved to the small Romanian village of Călineşti when she got married and was keen to start investing in the local community. For three years Elisa tried, in vain, to start a children's programme there, but the locals were reluctant to get involved.
Sharing God’s Love With Romania’s Children
Elisa refused to give up. Knowing many children were growing up neglected and lonely, she had a heart to show them God’s love and was sure it could make a world of difference. So together with volunteers from her old home community, Elisa decided to hold Christmas parties for the children in the village. They sang songs, shared the Good News of the Christmas story and the children received Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts.
