Finding Hope outreach began more than twelve years ago in Sibiu, Romania with two individuals, Nathan and Anca Merrill. God has given Nathan and Anca a big heart for Romania’s orphan children. In fact, Anca herself is an orphan. She grew up in the communist era Romania in a state-run orphanage. During the ealrly 1990s, while at the orphanage, Anca fell in with some American missionaries. These missionaries invested in her, eventually saving her from her dire plight at the state-run orphanage.
