WORKING UP RIVER IN UKRAINE RIGHT NOW WHILE THE DOWN RIVER TEAM CONTINUTE WORKING IN KYRGYZSTAN: How can we ever explain the work we do in this part of the world. We have an awesome team that is working hard up river - doing the best we can to teach, train and encourage people to live differently than ever before. At the same time we must meet the pressing needs that are in front of us....THE DOWN RIVER WORK.
We reported the devastating situation with Jessica's family - well it is improving daily with the help of our down river work. We took supplies to kill mold, paint to cover the walls once again and equipment to paint. Here is what occured. The father of our family did all the work. He did a fine job - so with the ever pressing needs of our down river work - we will be hiring him to do more work - like helping renovate a home where a widow was left to figure out what to do after her home was destroyed by fire the same day she was conducting cultural activities to remember the death of her husband just 40 days before. Our father from Jessica's family can do this kind of work! He just needs a job to get back in the work force. Well, want to help this woman - and we want to build this family.
So - we can not only see the down river work occuring - we see the job, the hope giving our family a potential new chance. Watch the developments and be ready to consider sponsoring one of their children - helping with vitamins, clothing and food...giving them a boost during this building time.
UP RIVER - Ruby is working in Ukraine - training social workers who are invested in "gatekeeping" to keep children out of the orphanages. Remember we are praying and hoping for a Ukraine Without Orphans and a Kyrgyzstan Without Orphans. We are training over 25 trainers to carry out this mission. Tomorrow we will certify them and send them out to make a difference. They are eager to help children realize their potential - see families loving and keeping a safe home. We believe in what Father God has told us to do - to teach to show them how to live. Praise Him for this opportunity to WORK UP RIVER TOO!
STAY TUNED THIS WEEKEND TO SEE HOW YOU CAN HELP US UP RIVER!
