                        Hope … for the homeless!

AMC Sibiu is a group of people who carry on their activity in Romania and who desire to bring a ray of hope for the orphans of this country, children and souls abandoned by their parents in orphanages.
The situation of those living in these centres can not be compared or regarded in the same way as that of the children spending their childhood in united families, receiving paternal support and care, but anyway orphanages as we know them today are still a place of shelter even though there are many problemes in these centres, too. Paternal love can not be replaced with anything else, and these children grow up often having problems in different areas of their lives. Often they are not able to live a normal life, to find a job or to create a family.Thus, this system is designed in such a manner that it offers shelter and care until the age of 18, when it is considered that they can live on their own account. The problem is that once they get out of these centers, the young people are faced with the ruthless world of the streets, being exposed to prostitution, drugs, the braking of the law, because they do not have stable help, they don't have a house, they don't have a job, they don't have friends, relatives to help them, they are alone.Through our activities, we want to support these young people, who practically at 18 end up in the street, by trying to create a future, continuing their education in an environment based on love and soul, a place full of faith and hope.
In Romania we are encouraged and helped in this work by "Bethany" Church in Sibiu.
In Germany we are part of the work of the Free Evangelic "Christ Church" in St. Michaelisdonn.
This work is sustained by different persons in Switzerland, Germany, USA, being part of different churches or confessions and having an open heart for the needs of the children in Romania.
Be wise!
Value what you have!

History
IThe "Christian Missionary Association" in Sibiu, was founded in 1993 with the desire of helping orphan girls.
At the beginnig this work consisted of some material help, Christian literature, medicines, delivered directly to orphanages or through their means.
Not having our own building, the activity was carried on in the state orphanages, especially the girl's orphanage in Turnu Rosu. We had visited this orphanage on a weekly basis with a group of young people and we had displayed different educational activities or games.
At the end of the week 10 to 20 girls were brought into families who were part of the association, creating thus, a family environment and trying to contribute to the shaping of an upright character.
In 1996, after some years of activity, we discused the posibility of building a center for the housing and education of these girls.We looked for the appropriate place for the construction and we finally found a building site of 5000 square meters available in Selimbar at 1 km away from Sibiu, and we started the construction in March 1999.
The construction was financed by people in Germany, USA, Switzerland, Romania and from other places.In April the 11th , 2003 we have inaugurated the new centre and due to this fact we have also changed the headquarters from Sibiu to the new location in Selimbar, named actually "Hope Christian Missionary Association Selimbar".
