| Greetings! |
In April, our team was asked to introduce ourselves to the children at Project Sasha. When it was my turn, I decided to let them ask me questions. They already know me somewhat, so I thought it would be interesting to see what they were curious about.
The first question was, "How old are you?" That one threw me. Life is a lot harder in Ukraine and adults don't have time for any kind of foolishness. So, the children aren't used to seeing a 58-year-old join in their activities.
The next question was, "What is your job?" Again, in Ukraine work is hard and it takes a lot of effort just to provide the basics for your family. So, they see me making frequent visits and wonder how I do it.
I told them I have the best job in the world. I get to visit with them and see how special they are. Then, I get to go back and report to the very special people who love them and support them. I am the only one who has the privilege of knowing both groups.
I wish everyone could make the trip at least once. We are planning to sponsor a one-week discovery trip next April. Possible dates and an itinerary exist only on scratch paper at this time. Please prayerfully consider this opportunity.
