• We reached with the Gospel, with love and care more than 450 orphans and orphanage personnel in 4 orphanages.

• Znamenka
  We were able to bring a team of people to visit children in this orphanage. Some of the team members were special education teachers and shared their experience with the personnel. Also we were able to provide some necessary funds to buy food for the kids who lack decent food and nutrition. We want to be back with the children’s Bibles to give and with the love of Christ to share.

• Snyatyn
  God opened the doors into this orphanage in a miraculous way. Here we visited more than 140 disabled kids who barely survive. We were able to bring them some funds and several items of humanitarian help provided by American and Ukrainian Christians. It included clothing, soccer balls, CD discs, etc. We learned more about the needs of this orphanage and hope to go back and bring a team to visit these children just as God is calling us to do.You can see more here:

• Romanov
  This is another orphanage that we learned this year about. Here 150 disabled boys live. We were able to meet the director and the administration and build relationships with them hoping for the partnership. We were pleasantly surprised with the director’s efforts to improve the living conditions of the boys and improve the quality of their life. We hope to be back and bring therapists and teachers to do the training for the personnel. The most important thing we can do is to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to these souls.

• Vorzel
  This summer we had 2 international teams working in the orphanage in Vorzel. The teams completely remodeled one of the restrooms and built a playground.  They also worked with the children helping them to develop their social skills and just sharing love with them. The Ukrainian team keeps on serving helping with the cleaning and additional remodeling, bringing the light of the Gospel to these people.

• We saw God opening the doors to 2 new orphanages.
• We did complete remodeling of 2 orphanage facilities and built a playground.Before:

• We gave more than 2.000 items of humanitarian aid for children and personnel in the orphanages.

• We helped to adopt 3 children.

Because they need a family where they will experience love of parents.

Because they need to know the Gospel, to accept it and to be saved from hell.

Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of God and Father is this: to visit orphans …
(Jas.1:27)
