| THE TEAM FROM WATERLOO! |
 Christmas is all about giving and the orphans in Ukraine were very blessed to be visited by a whole team of cheerful givers from Waterloo Pentecostal Assembly!
The team were just as blessed to find children who were SO thankful for the littlest things - like a hug, a teddy bear or a warm blanket!
 The team didn't stop there! They were able to give food to a Boy's Rehab Centre that wouldn't have been able to feed the boys for over ten days! They were able to provide a miracle for a Children's Hospital that had run out of food and medicine for abandoned babies! They were able to blow the kids' socks off with the wildest New Years Eve fireworks show that they had ever seen!!! And ...
 Pastor Darren juggled for joy! The orphan children got some of the most awesome puppets they'd ever seen! Every orphan got a special New Years' Eve gift! And the local church and our workers (and me! :) were all PUMPED UP by their enthusiasm!!! |
| A Few Special Mentions from Special Ed! |
 The AMAZING Newfoundlanders raised over $12,000 for McJoyful Christmas this year ... selling Mooseburgers (among other things! :) When I stepped out twelve years ago I expected miracles, but I have been overwhelmed by the "giving" hearts of Canadians like this group from Grand Falls Windsor.
Thank you my friends! You've got me dreaming!
 A very big thank you to the RU4Children organization and a church in Dallas, Texas, for allowing us to provide each and every orphan child this Christmas with a beautiful coloring book, "Adventures with Globie" which told them about the AWESOME PLAN that God has for their lives!
 A big Special Ed thank you to Eileen Richardson, who has offered to help us buy a house in Ukraine to use for our short-term missionaries, our workers and our guests!!! Please pray with us as we are now looking at houses (like the one shown here and - well - it's just GREAT!!! :) |
Every orphan child is a very special creation! There are over 100,000 orphans in Ukraine alone. So when God gave me a dream to treat 100,000 children to a Christmas they would never forget, I know you can imagine that I was a bit humbled (since I took only 46 orphans the first year! :)
MERRY "UKRAINIAN" CHRISTMAS
my dear friends!
