MY HOME - YOUR HOME



MY HOME YOUR HOME
this really has meaning in Kherson

KHERSON, UKRAINE - we were so honored to serve for My Home in Ukraine.  They are a model of what can happen when families work together for the support and encouragement of adoption.  MANY CHILDREN HAVE HOMES AND FAMILIES BECAUSE OF THEM.  And what do they do?


  • RESPITE CARE FOR EACH OTHER
  • MAKE EMERGENCY CALL WHEN CRISIS ARISES IN A FAMILY
  • SEEK AND SUPPORT NEW ADOPTIVE FAMILIES
  • TRAIN AND TEACH ONE ANOTHER
  • ATTEND TRAINING TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING THEIR SKILLS IN WORKING WITH CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED TRAUMA
  • SPEND TIME TALKING TO ONE ANOTHER
  • AND MORE....
Our part has been so small.  We have worked with them for two different family retreats - teaching the adults and the children, giving presentations of support ideas at training events for them.  Yet, we hope to do more.  Of course the question is always - "When can we have you back?"  

Let's pray for the fall - to return and continue doing our small part - teaching and equipping.  More and more children moving into a HOME.  Making one more step toward a UKRAINE WITHOUT ORPHANS!

Ephesians 4:12
