When I look back, I am amazed of everything that has been done, and I am aware that all this has been possible only with Gods help.\r\n\r\nIt all started with 2 persons but, one by one, people of different religions, with various disabilities, and souls filled with grief and disappointments came and joined us. Year after year, many other hearts with various problems and sufferings joined us. I think each of them had experiences here that helped them grow up. Even the negative aspects taught us something.\r\n\r\nDuring our meetings, I had the chance to see the frowns disappearing from these people faces, their anxiety and sadness going away, being replaced <a href=\"https:\/\/caritatea.com\/en\/gods-help-throughout-years\/\">...

We are glad God was there with us and He used our trip to unite two sensible souls in a blessed marriage.\r\n\r\nLooking back, I can only thank God that, in another trip, He showed me how important I am, that He would give people in exchange for me, for me to be near <a href=\"https:\/\/caritatea.com\/en\/gods-gifts\/\">...

Am avut marele har sa vad un crestin autentic in persoana mamei mele. In general, am fost un copil bun pana la perioada adolescentei.<\/p><p>Atunci,\u00a0 m-am vazut luat deodata de val, prins in niste anturaje dubioase si cercuri de tineri de la care nu am putut sa invat nimic bun. In familia noastra certurile si scandalurile nu mai conteneau, din pricina tatalui meu, care mereu era beat. In aceasta situatie, abia asteptam sa scap din atmosfera de iad, dar nimerisem din lac in put. Nu am cautat\u00a0 locul potrivit si nu am gasit pacea si linistea de care aveam atata nevoie!!! Cautam sa ma refugiez si sa fug de realitatea din casa noastra, dar parca tot mai mare era bezna si negura in care ma afundam.<\/p><p><!--more--><\/p><p>Pe la 16-17 ani aveam sa experimentez miracolul schimbarii. Pacea profunda a sufletului, schimbarea vietii, gasirea scopului existential, directia corecta si morala sanatoasa aveam sa le experimentez in 1991-1992, cand cu ocazia marii treziri spirituale de dupa bezna comunismului, din pura curiozitate, zic eu, am decis sa merg si sa vad ce se intampla pe stadionul din Marghita. Am auzit\u00a0 de la mama si am vazut afise peste tot prin oras, cum se obisnuia la vremea aceea: Mare Evanghelizare la Stadion cu D-na Joni Eareckson Tada, Luis Pallau si cantareti fratii Groza din SUA. Nu aveam sa stiu ca pe acel stadion voi vedea o femeie imobilizata intr-un scaun cu rotile, care imi va vorbi despre speranta, credinta, perseverenta, lucru care m-a emotionat profund!!! Fusesem atins de Domnul!!\u00a0 In consecinta, am iesit primul pe stadion la chemarea facuta si dupa mine puhoi de oameni.\u00a0 Atunci, pe acel stadion, s-a schimbat gustul tigarii,\u00a0 pasiunile tineretii care erau slavite si ridicate la rang de virtute se transformasera in praf si cenusa.\u00a0 Si toate acestea fara centre de dezintoxicare, fara mers la psihologi: la clipeala ochilor !!<\/p><p>Acea frumoasa si dumnezeiasca experienta avea sa ma ajute enorm, dupa ce si eu la varsta de 35 de ani am ajuns intr-un carucior cu rotile. Exista viata dincolo de handicap si neputinta !!!<\/p><p>Acum, in a doua parte a acestei scurte relatari despre miracolul schimbarii, care din punctul meu de vedere e cel mai mare miracol, as dori sa remarc importanta capitala a implicarii lui Joni in ajutorarea persoanelor cu nevoi speciale. Ceea ce recomand si vad de un real folos, este implicarea cat mai consistenta si integrarea persoanelor cu dizabilitati in lucrari de misiune, evanghelizare, deoarece, acesti oameni speciali au putere de sensibilizare, iar Cuvantul poate\u00a0 sa ajunga acolo unde in alte circumstante ar ajunge mai greu sau chiar deloc. In final, nu pot sa nu constat cu cata putere lucreaza Domnul Isus prin acesti oameni si cate lucruri bune se pot face cu ei. Dumnezeu sa binecuvinteze Asociatia Caritatea si pe toti cei ce pun umarul la Carul EVANGHELIEI!<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-812","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/caritatea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/caritatea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/caritatea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caritatea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caritatea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/caritatea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/812\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/caritatea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
