Opportunites to make a difference

The Bible Orphan Ministry has a new project going to raise money to buy paint for the largest orphanage they visit with about 200 children. The children are all away for the summer. The dismal place sits empty. Playground equipment, park benches, doors, floors...everything has chipping and peeling paint. Check out their post and pictures here. The Bible Orphan Ministry team would love to raise the money to buy enough paint to fix up the place so the children can come back to everything looking bright and clean and safe.

The Bible Orphan Ministry also needs ongoing, regular support. They visit orphans and share the gospel each week, and they need gas in their van just to make their visits. (Gas costs the same in Ukraine as it does here.) When they visit they need to bring something for the children, even if it's just a small bit of candy. They love it when they can afford to bring bananas or ice cream. I asked Alla about the cost, and she shared that for about $35 they can bring bananas or ice cream for 90 children!

It is possible for us to make a real, daily difference and be an answer to many prayers.

Yesterday, I learned that the Kimble's are not only adopting beautiful, Kathleen...but another little girl as well! Click on the button on my sidebar with Kathleen's picture and you'll go to her Family Sponsorship Page on RR and you can see her new sister! I'm sure any donations at this point will be a real blessing as they work toward bringing these two girls home.

Also, we found out two days ago that Teri Lynn was transferred. My friend, Brianna is her warrior. Go to Brianna's blog to see pictures of Teri Lynn before and after her transfer. It's heartbreaking. We need to get the word out about Teri Lynn. Many children are being adopted out of the institutions where they've been transferred. It's not too late for her to be rescued. Her family needs to be found NOW.

Please join us in praying for her, share her face everywhere, donate to her grant fund if you can.
