Children in the Son, Inc. is an international non-profit founded by Michelle Kelly Sims, a Master Social Worker. Michelle visited Romania for the first time in 1995 for ten days with a group from her church to distribute Christmas gifts to orphanages. Two years later, she made a return trip to find Christian organizations in dire need of social workers. In May 1998, she moved to Romania to work full-time in the city of Oradea. One year later, she founded the Romanian non-profit, “Viata Noua Pentru Copii,” (New Life for Children), a ministry that addresses the needs of children and families in distress through several projects. Daniel Sims visited Romania in April, 2001 to organize a missions trip to bring over medical supplies to children. Two months later, he moved to Oradea to work with abandoned children and those in need of medical care. In July of 2001, Children In The Son, Inc. was founded as a United States non-profit which directs and provides accountability for all work done in Romania. The Board of Directors for the ministry is based in the Raleigh, NC area. Daniel and Michelle reside in Romania and lead the projects God has directed along with their wonderful staff of Romanian ministry workers.
