Stanca House
We are Dorel and Gabi Stanca and we live in Arad, Romania. We married in 1988 and the Lord blessed our family with two children, Adi and Andrada. I began working at the House of Hope in 1999, when it first opened it’s doors.
In 2005 the Lord gave us the opportunity to become house parents at Steven’s House, also under the umbrella of Global Hope. For 3 ½ years we strived to create a family atmosphere in which these five children would feel loved and cherished.
Due to financial hardships, Steven’s House had to close it’s doors and our family was briefly separated from the Global Hope children we cared for. During this transistion my husband and I, and our children (Adi & Andrada) did not have peace about the situation and missed the children very much. It was not long before we decided to become a foster family for Flavious, Haynal, and Ionuti.
Presently, I can say that we are a happy family; the children have grown and made a lot of progress. Haynal is seven years old, but for six years she has had an allergy to gluten. However, in the last three months she has been able to eat food with gluten without any problems! The Lord has healed her!
Flavius is 15 years old and is in his first year of high school. Ionuti is 18 and in his third year of high school. Andrada is 16, in her second year, and Adi, 20, just finished his first year of college.
All five children are obedient and, as a family, we feel fulfilled in the fact that we can love each other, understand one another, and raise our children according to Biblical principles.
