Ionut (pronounced yo-newts) is a powerful example of what that one changed life can do! Rescued from the streets of Bucharest as a young boy by Orasul Sperantei (City of Hope), Ionut is now 20 years old and is, in his own way, bringing hope and healing to children who are in desperate need, just as he used to be. Now a young man, Ionut is involved with our Village of Hope Baby House project, while still attending school and is so grateful for the chance to make a difference in the lives of these abandoned babies. This month he also started going to the Hope Rescue Center project on Saturdays to help the staff and team by ministering to the teenagers from the street. His contribution to the program is singing hip-hop songs to the street children and teens that he wrote himself. Ionut has been very encouraged by the response of the children and teens and has decided to go every two weeks to the Hope Rescue Center to, in his own words, "hopefully, have a positive impact in the lives of those that hear my songs."
