Delivering HOPE to the hopeless
in the name of Jesus!
There are 3 Great Ways to HELP!
Every box is an opportunity to be able to share Jesus.
Every time boxes are given out, children receive the message of Christmas and the Hope of Jesus.
Each box is filled with goodies and letter from you.
One of the items children cherish most is the letters and pictures from families who sponsor the boxes

The mission is to show the love of Jesus to these children but prayer is needed to break through many hardened hearts.
The war's impact on the orphanages
More children are in need this year
This year we have seen an increase in the number of children in the orphanages due to the war. In addition, the economic situation in the country is getting worse and the orphaned and the disabled are the first to feel the cut in food, medicine and care. Our goal is to provide Christmas to everyone of these children. To do that we need to find sponsors for 650 Hope Boxes.

Testimonies of Children
Hundred of children are impacted each year. Here are the stories of just a few.
Igor graduated out of the orphanage at 18 but as a special needs individual he was sent to a care home. While there he convinced the staff to have us come do a Christmas presentation. He is our "evangelist".

This 9 year old girl was dropped off at the orphanage by her alcoholic parents. Her world was turned upside down but she is a sweet, kind-hearted princess. It is exciting to see her open up the more we are able to visit. She loves the cards and presents.
Angelica

As children this three girls were adopted but were later returned to the orphanage. As difficult as this was we are seeing their hearts become softer and more open to hear about what Jesus could be for them in their lives. Thanks for loving on them.

Galina is seen here reading from the Bible for the first time in her life.
We invited the children to write prayer notes to tell their fears to God and to practice giving God their burdens. We offered the children the opportunity to share their notes with us so we could continue to hold them in prayer. We discovered profound insights from them and witnessed a great desire by them to offer their burdens to God and to be known by us.

Dima aged out of the system this year. He expressed many doubts about his future. Mentors have stayed in his life. He comes to church on occasion and our team keeps tabs on him and continues to pray for him, holding hope for him when he is not able to do so for himself.

Sasha encountered his greatest fear this past year. He learned that his mother (an addict) had died and he would never be able to look her in the eyes again and see her when he graduated out of the orphanage. That loss has opened up much grief and hard questions for him about God. We have been allowed into his confidence and seek to listen, love, and honor his grief.
