a Hungarian Roma village. It is over an hours drive from the city and you may wonder how or why we work in this village. This is such a beautiful story of God’s sovereignty and he continues to unfold more of His plan daily.
On March 19, 2005, a little boy weighing only 2 pounds made his entrance into this world. Rhodica, age 15, a child herself, had just given birth to Alexander Daniel Gabor. He was premature, underweight and struggling to survive. The doctors told Rhodica, a young gypsy girl, to go back to her village and leave her baby, because he would soon die. With many tears and a broken heart, Rhodica left Alex. Against all odds, Alex survived! At 4 months, Alex was transferred from the maternity hospital to the children’s hospital, which was home to many abandoned babies. This is where we first laid our eyes on this precious little boy. Alex; extremely underweight, sickly and fragile, lay in his bed that he shared with another abandoned baby. 
We were working daily at the hospital and the nurses would say that Alex was never hungry, so they opted not to feed him. His protruding cheek bones and his tiny hands and arms told a different story. Alex was hungry, but being premature it was impossible for him to guzzle down the bottle in 2 minutes like the rest of the babies who laid in the cribs. (The abandoned babies are never held by the nurses, instead the nurses come and jam a bottle into their mouths with a hole the size of a pencil so it takes less of their time for the babies to eat. Then the nurses return and collect the bottles and if the babies did not drink what was in the bottle it did not matter to them, they just closed the door for another 8 hours.)
Our family volunteered at the hospital. Our daughter Paige feel in love with Alex. 
She would hold him, feed him, love him and treat him like her own. She celebrated Alex’s first birthday, taught him to walk and he even called her “mama”. For 18 months their love grew… then one day, Alex was gone!
Paige was distraught! We PRAYED! And God answered! We were able to obtain the name of his village from the social worker. This was a miracle because this is confidential information. Ashley, Paige, Emma and I (Robin) set out to find Alex. Armed with a photograph and stopping at a gas station to look at a map, we made our way to Cherichui. In the village, we stopped to ask people if they knew the child in the photograph. They pointed us to the “Gypsy village” and there we found him! Not only him, but 14 families. 
Through God’s GRACE and LOVE we now support every family in the village with a food package, medical & social help. Last year almost the whole village surrendered their life to Christ and this year we will build a building there for worship and bible study. This village is not just a ministry but they are our friends and family. We can never express the amazing sovereignty of GOD! But we give him ALL THE GLORY! Alex is now 5 years old and thriving! Alex, Rhodica and his fathers, Shawny, are and will always be a part of our family! WE PRAISE GOD!!!
