Philip Cameron Ministries and the Girls from Moldova

On August 26, 2009, I attended a worship service at Frazer United Methodist Church featuring the "Girls from Moldova." What a blessing and inspiration for those of us fortunate enough to attend!

Philip Cameron Ministries sponsored these girls and they have traveled throughout the United States telling their stories of how they ended up in orphanages and how the Camerons have given them a better life. Until the Camerons came on the scene, they had no hope and had never been told about Christ. We learned that once the girls have "aged out" of the orphanages, they run the risk of being sold for sex.

In Moldolva orphaned girls are considered the dregs of society. One of the girls sang a most beautiful song, entitled "Orphans of God." Some of the lyrics are, "There are no strangers, there are no outcasts, there are no orphans of God." What a powerful message!

Also on the program were the Wesley Pritchard Singers from Fayetteville, North Carolina. If you have ever watched a Gaithers Gospel program, you have probably seen Wesley Pritchard's name listed on the credits. He arranges the harmony and produces many of the Gaithers' programs.

Homes called "Stella Houses" have been built to house these girls. While they were in Fayetteville, NC, an attorney generously made up the $100,000 difference needed to establish the fourth Stella House. Many Montgomery dentists and ophthalmologists provided free care and treatment for the girls while they were here.

The Camerons have a retreat near Ramer called "Brigadoon," (in honor of their native Scotland, I'm sure) and a link to their ministry can be found online under philipcameronministries.com.
