The Spink family lives outside of Targu Secuiesc in a village named Mereni in the Carpathian mountains. Together they’re active in their church, doing Christian camps each summer as well as riding camps for children and teens. Richard and Heather van der Dys from RockPointe Church began working with them in ministry in 2016.

Ben runs a software business from home while Csilla oversees a well-developed horse riding business for special needs children and able bodied kids. Their ministry also helps at-risk children through an after school program called The Manna Foundation, where children get food, help with their school work, and interaction with lots of love and gospel truth.  There are extracurricular activities too, including English classes with singing, art, horseback riding, and computer programming.

One member of their team also works with the orphanage kids with various programs, crafts, Bible stories, and just general relationships she gets to have with them. The Spinks facilitate everything she needs, including transportation for the kids to activities, and more.
