Orphan Mission in Ukraine - The Next Step!



By God's provision and Grace we are starting our second year of operating a transition home in Donetsk, Ukraine. Each year we are able to take in 2 to 3 girls and help them by keeping them out of a bad environment, teach them life skills and introduce them to our Saviour Jesus Christ. We are also able to offer Bible study, English classes and cooking classes to many more orphans each week. Thanks to the volunteer work on our staff Anya Bilyo and Olya Mandrika we are able to do all of this on a budget of just $6000 a year! We are looking to raise the finances to fund this operation for the next year.

Meet Vova! Vova is an amazing young man that started volunteering with us this past year. He is the son of a Pastor, a musician and has a HUGE heart for God. He toured several different orphanage with us this summer and we saw right away his great ability to connect with the children. This year we hope to add Vova to our staff working daily in the largest Orphanage in Donetsk. He currently volunteers in his free time, but can only do so much because he has to also work full time.

We want you all to understand why this is a much needed next step. It hit us this year while were reflecting on our work in the region that we spend so much of our time making little progress with the older orphans. We realized the reason for this is because they have so many self- taught destructive behaviours that are so deep seeded. It was then that it became obvious that if we could reach these children on a daily basis at a younger age, we could make a real difference in their lives! We have an opportunity to do this now and put Vova to work full time for only $4200. which covers his wage and allows him a small budget to purchase supplies!

We ask that you consider partnering with us? For such a small investment the impact on the lives of orphans could be huge.

Shane Lewis and his wife Diana will be traveling to Ukraine in 2 weeks, we are praying for the financial support to be able to implement this outreach program when they are there.

In Him! The Orphan Mission!
