Here is the March\n2019 UKRAINE MISSIONS Newsletter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to rejoice in the\namazing good reports that continue to return to us on the work of the Lord\u2019s\nChurch throughout the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This March\nnewsletter is tardy because of the mission trip to Ukraine in late March and\nearly April. I am working on the April newsletter and hope to have it published\nsoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photo of\nOlexity and his story provide you with a reality-check on the impact our\nefforts are having. This is one of the reports I sent back during the stay in\nUkraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Report\n#14\u2014April 12, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nphoto is an orphan who lives in a village with his grandmother. The village is\nlocated in the Dnepropetrovsk Oblast in a small village called Novogregorifka.\nI have visited this village and have preached there. There are no paved\nstreets. The population of the village shares the concerns that all do\u2014how can\nwe stretch our food supplies and why doesn\u2019t the government help the villages,\nare paramount issues discussed on the village\u2019s pathways. There is great\nconcern as they hear that an old lady\u2019s cow has stopped giving milk and the old\nlady is in great grief (when is the last time YOUR greatest concern was that\nyour cow had stopped giving milk?). Adding to the concerns of everyday village\nlife are the large numbers of those who have been moved here because Russia\u2019s\ninvasion and occupation has destroyed their homes in the east. Some arrive\nnewly widowed as their husbands were killed by Russian military. Others come as\norphans because Russian bombs had blown up their homes and killed their\nparents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These\nIDPs are relocated looking dazed and disoriented. They clutch whatever\npossessions they could grab as they fled. The children present the worst\nimages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we\nplace a Family Bucket in their hands with clothing, shoes and basic living\nessentials you see eyes filled with gratitude and tears of emotions run down\ntheir cheeks. I can try to describe these situations to you but whatever I\nwrite is woefully inadequate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a\nworld of evil YOU have given a sliver of hope!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is\na 3-year-old named is Olexiy. He is an orphan and lives with his grandmother in\nthe village. Ivan had taken a load of clothing, buckets and toys from our\ncontainer and distributed them in that village. Among the commodities in the\ncontainer was a stuffed animal that now gives security to a three-year-old\nwhose world of security was blown apart by evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nIvan entered the house, Olexiy was politely sitting on the sofa. Ivan started\nshowing the grandmother clothing that might fit the 3-year-old. Some was a\nlittle large as Olexiy tried it on, all items were gratefully accepted. Once\nIvan handed the stuffed toy to Olexiy, he grasped it and exclaimed, \u201cThank\nyou! I’ve dreamed about this!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to all who help make the dreams of such 3-year-olds come true! https:\/\/www.kachelman.com\/ukraine\/blog\/2019\/04\/13\/report-14-april-12-2019\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
