Bruce Thomas began working in Romania right after the fall of Communism in 1990. He initially went to Romania to help develop a national network of youth ministry for the Church who had been so harshly persecuted under the Ceaucescu regime. He and his wife Catherine Vandermeer Thomas started a non-profit ministry to serve vulnerable children in Romania in 2001. Together with an incredible international staff team, they have cared for, protected, evangelized and discipled thousands of abandoned kids. Their ministry is called Livada Orphan Care. (livada.org) “Livada” is the Romanian word for orchard and serves as a symbol of what they want to accomplish: They want to use the platform of orphan care to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
