SHE IS THE TOP OF HER CLASS - ONE AMAZING LITTLE GIRL

DAYSPRING 

SUCCESS STORY

LITTLE GENIA

She is such an amazing little girl - well shall I say emerging adolescent,  maybe not so young any more.  When she came to Dayspring - from a very hard place, she entered a new era of growth and development.

Let us brag on her....

• Picks up English quickly
• Loves people
• Has a kind and gentle spirit (most of the time)
• Loves animals
• Love nurturing and attention
• Is a hug lover too
• Is an incredible helper
• One of the smartest students in her class
• Has been elevated to a high level math class

BUT WE HAVE ONE PROBLEM - we are looking for an adoptive home for Genia - a family that will love her and be there for her in those moments of doubt, sadness, loneliness and loss.  A family who will understand her journey and be willing to walk the distance with her.  We need a national family, as she has a brother that she is connected with who lives in an orphanage.  We do not want to see them separated by countries.

Please pray for this family.  We know they are there - we need your prayers.

Thank you

THEY CAN EAT TOGETHER AS A FAMILY - THANKS TO OUR DONOR

DINNER IS READY

FAMILY

COME TO THE TABLE

This likely sound familiar to you all - however for Jeremiah House it is a NEW call.  Up until now, they have not had a dining room or a table and chairs. They have eaten in the kitchen in shifts - with just a little counter that would seat two.

 But that has changed!  With the help of an amazing donor we now have:

• A brand new dining room - built off the side of the kitchen.
• A brand new table and chairs that will easily seat 10 to 12 for dinner.

YES, "dinner is on the table - ya'll come to eat now together!"  It is family time!

This is something we all take for granted - sitting together talking about our day and enjoying family time.  We have prayed for this day - dreamed of having this room built and for the family to be able to be together like this.  Now they can do homework here, play games, sit and discuss life's challenges and life's blessings - pray together and in general - JUST BE A FAMILY.

THANK YOU ALL - We dream of curtains, a lovely picture for the wall, and a little update in the kitchen with the wall having been broken out for the new dining room.  Would you consider being a little helper for our Jeremiah boys?

So beautiful

Check out the new floor and rug!

BRAIN FOOD FOR JEREMIAH YOUTH! LAUGHTER AND FUN ALONG WITH SOME HARD WORK

SUMMER SUN FUN

WINTER HEAT COMFORT

All part and parcel to the Jeremiah 29:11 needs.

Excited to see the youth from our Dayspring and Jeremiah House enjoying a wonderful outing at Lake Issakul!  As we all know - laughter, and fun are amazing healing agents for the brain that has experienced loss, trauma and disappointments.  Our team has been working together to bring these experiences to our youth.  This trip away from Tokmok is a joy to see - 

AND WE THANK YOU SPONSOR WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE!

AND YOU SUPPLIED COAL FOR THE WINTER

Right now, coal is at an all time low - and will increase in price dramatically over the next weeks.  We were able to purchase 7.5 tonnes of coal for the winter for the youth - YES, WARM COMFORTABLE HOMES will bring smiles to the faces of all once the wild winter sets in.  For now, we have been blessed once again - BY YOU OUR SPONSORS....

JOY CAN BE FOUND IN SOME WONDERFUL MOMENTS - MEET JOYCE THE ADOPTED COW

JOYCE'S HOMECOMING

"MILK COW BLESSING"

We have posted before about this little gift - a milk cow for our adoptive family for Dasha.  Seems they really wanted a milk cow for a couple of reasons:

1.  Milk of course

2.  To learn to make butter and cheese

3.  Life Skill - responsibility for the children

So, they found the cow they wanted and we posted for a donor - and voila - cow was bought and delivered.  

(sorry about the camera date - it is wrong of course!!)

I love the excitement that was in the air at the delivery of Joyce, the milk cow!  Balloons, party, and celebration.

Next challenge for our Dayspring children? - adoptive homes for two more girls whom we have just received full custody of - please Pray!

Dayspring and Jeremiah House are about safety, permanency and well-being for all our children.  The journey to become sons and daughters on "earth as it is in heaven".

THANK YOU DONORS....
