The Romeike Case

By -





Here is an opportunity to unite with other believers across America and support a Christian family! We were wondering if each of you would consider signing a petition to help a Christian homeschooling family that lives in East Tennessee. They are from Germany, but homeschooling is illegal in Germany. The Romeikes were being persecuted for homeschooling their children, so they came to the United States several years ago, and were granted asylum in 2010. However, they are now on the verge of being deported back to Germany. Home School Legal Defense Association is trying to stop this, and there is a petition to bring this situation to the attention of the Obama administration- which could grant asylum to the Romeikes. At least 100,000 signatures are needed for this, and though there are now more than 100,000 signatures, extra ones could greatly help! Please sign this petition and support freedom and homeschooling. Just follow the instructions to sign here, and pass this on to others who can sign (anyone over 13 with an email address can do it). The end date for the petition is April 18th. Please pray for the Romeikes and for homeschoolers across the world. Thank you!

In Christ,
Joanna, Megan, Krista, Emily, and Victoria

For over 11 years, Bloom! has existed to spur you on in your journey towards Biblical womanhood.  What started as a big dream in the hearts of three teen girls, turned into an international print magazine and then later turned into a thriving blog.  Our heart has been to go beyond the fluff and dig deep into God’s Word and into how to practically apply that to our daily lives.  If any good has come out of Bloom! , we know it is because God is the one who waters the seeds we plant ( 1 Cor. 3:7 ).  This journey of magazine and blog has spanned for over a decade and what a thrilling and beautiful one it has been.   God has deepened and widened our worldview.   He has given us a deeper understanding of His ways.   He’s brought me (Joanna) through some really hard times and pushed me to write despite the pain .   He’s shown me that although I am nowhere near perfect, He can still use me anyway. One thing He’s been teaching me recently is that sometimes, some chapters mus

Make sure to check out part 1  here !                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Want to make friends in a new country?  Be prepared.  This isn't always easy.  Sometimes you meet someone on the train and instantly, you're buddies.  Sometimes you try and try and nothing happens.  Many things factor in - you're a foreigner, you're different, your first language isn't the same as everyone else around you.  Not only all that but your perspective, worldview, and beliefs are almost guaranteed to be different.   Then there's the fact that you've been shaped by your own culture all these years, so yeah, cultural differences are big as well. All this...and I still live abroad.  Better yet, I  choose  this life!  Sure, there's been plenty of disappointments, confusions, misu

Tales from Taiwan #22

Dear Sisters, Thursday night while I was volunteering at the rescue home, I asked one of my boys, Liam* (name changed) how his summer was.  I expected him to smile and answer with all the fun things he had gotten to do.  Instead Liam sobered and said quietly that his dad had passed away.   The kids who live at this home are rescued from abusive, unhealthy or dangerous situations.  Some are orphans and some have family.  They rarely talk about the family they do have, usually because they've been extremely hurt by them.  But no matter what, I've found that family is still family and more than anything, that's what these kids long for - loving, healthy, safe families.   I told Liam I would be praying for him and his family.  He stopped, looked up at me and asked me if I really would pray for them.  After I reassured him that I really would, he smiled and said he would pray for his family too.  What a moment of beautiful, childlike faith!   Liam's simple "You sai
