YES WE CAN ..."FEED 5000"!!!
They're gettin' excited!
They're gettin' excited!!!
 
McJoyful Christmas is something these amazing orphan children have waited for all year long!
 
One Huge Birthday Party for Jesus!
Doesn't Get Much Better!McDonalds has become the "elite" place to eat in our area.  The orphan kids never got to go there.  Six years ago we started taking these kids out to celebrate Jesus' birthday!
 
I have watched in awe as they shake in their seats before the meal comes and, when they finish, take their cups, boxes and even paper placemats back to the orphanage!
 
So far, we've given over 20,000 orphan children a special Christmas gift that they will never forget ... and they'll all tell you, "God did this for me." 
 
You  can donate right from your computer!
 
 
$15 will provide a Christmas
 Happy Meal, vitamins and much more  for each child!
I NEED VOLUNTEERS!
McJoyful PrayerWe have an opportunity to change a whole generation of children!  To let them know that even though they may not have parents on earth, they have a Father in heaven who loves them VERY much!  But ... I can't do it alone.  I need your help!
 
I'm looking for volunteers who will commit to raising funds for 50 or more children.  So ... if you're interested ... just reply to this email and say, "Ed, I wanna help!"  I'll send you all the information you need to get your friends, family and neighbors excited!
 
What a SUPER day!
Every one who donates will receive a tax receipt and a follow up report - letting them know what a difference they've made in the lives of these special children!
 
We'll "buck" the financial crisis, together, and continue to believe in miracles!
A few "special" things . . .
One Big Pile of Shoes!Willard Martin and his family visited the village of Molochansk (Halbstadt) this year and were asked if they might be able to send some shoes for the orphanage.  His church, Elmira Mennonite, responded BIG TIME!
 
 
Rock Developments Corp.The Rock Developments Corp. surprised us with a $25,000 donation!  Directors Mike and Sharon Molnar have been in Krivoy Rog and chose several special orphanage projects there! 
 
Ready For Action!
A special report on the "Operation Can Be Done" program is ready.  It shows amazing profiles of children who have been blessed, with details on costs, procedures and the kids who are waiting in line.  If you would like a copy of the report, just reply to this email and I'll email it to you!
 
Mooseburgers?!!!
The Newfoundlanders have done it again!  They raised over $12,000 for desperately needed operations for our beautiful orphan children and now ... get this ... they're holding their annual McJoyful Mooseburger and Bake Sale to raise funds for Happy Meals and vitamins for orphans!  The Mooseburger day is set for December 6th from 10am-4pm.  So if you're in the area - BE THERE! - if you're a moose ... well ... :)
 
Oh.  One more thing.  Natasha's pregnant!
