Boxes for Ukraine

Several groups collected clothing for our kids around Christmas. Those are always a treat when they arrive in Ukraine.

I got a note this past weekend that two more boxes had arrived. The number of children visiting daily is approaching thirty and the staff could offer warm clothing to all. We always ask the children to turn in their old clothes. That way we can launder, make repairs and recycle for the next group. This time, we had to burn their clothes because of lice. In case I haven't already said it, thanks to all of you who make the effort to send us clothes.

Last month the government actually went through with their threat to interrupt monthly support payments until the 2009 budget is approved. Several families we work with are affected.

Still, we know that God is in control. Sometimes, He waits until there is absolutely no other alternative before He steps in. We may be getting close.

Don't grow weary,
