Early in the morning at the House of Hope

November 29th, 2018|

Every morning kids in The House of Hope begin their day with prayers and studying Bible. For each of them, that is an opportunity to start your day in a right way dedicating it to the Lord. It’s so good to see the open hearts of boys and girls! All kids aim to study Bible and assimilate the values that leaders invest in them. Previously, they spent the morning in a completely different way, but here, in the House of Hope, their morning begins not only with physical, but also with spiritual food. The lives of many biblical heroes demonstrate [...]

Urgent needs in Odessa

August 2nd, 2018|

We have many teenage orphans doing work related courses at present, to enable them to prepare to enter the workforce when they turn 18 this year. These work related courses have marvellously been provided for. This enables them to get better jobs and apprenticeships to start earning an income. If they don't have these opportunities available to them, there is a strong possibility that they might live on the streets. The consequences of this will most likely push them into activities where their futures are bleak', like prostitution, theft or selling illegal items. The results of those are horrendous for [...]

Summer Camps in Latvia and Ukraine

August 1st, 2018|

The first of the Summer Camps in Latvia began with a wonderful burst of joy and enthusiasm at the campsite near Riga in Latvia. There are 2 camps running back to back that have about 150 young people from the city youth groups coupled young teenage orphans who will strike up wonderful friendships. When the orphans leave their orphanages at 18 they are normally invited by their city friends to stay with them while they search for jobs in the city. This has been most successful in the past, and for some a stepping stone for work somewhere else in [...]

Orphans Christmas parties & gifts

May 2nd, 2018|

We want to thank you so much for your very kind support which has gone a long way to giving many orphans a wonderful Christmas season. Through your generosity we were able to provide warm meals and quality educational gifts for these needy children. They so appreciated our local teams visiting them over the last few weeks, presenting gospel concerts and giving them their Christmas treats. Our faithful local teams travelled long distances to help these children to have a happy and beneficial time this Christmas. The children have learnt the blessing of receiving gifts - especially God's gift of eternal [...]

Keeping in touch from Ukraine

October 16th, 2017|

Greetings from Odessa, Ukraine at present. I trust that you are all well and enjoying God's rich blessings at this time. Bless you for your wonderful support that has helped has helped us immensely to meet the needs of the orphans and disadvantaged babies of Ukraine at this time. My managers have just been calling out this past week for supplies for the huge needs that have arisen - for example, I was urgently asked to provide adult size nappies for an 18-year-old handicapped orphan boy, Petr, who was born without genitals and needs to wear nappies permanently. When I [...]

Orphans Needs in Ukraine & Latvia June 2017

June 26th, 2017|

As a result of our recent ministry into Ukraine & Latvia we have found human needs beyond our imagination. There is a huge section of society that has been widely neglected by government and local councils. Orphanages and Homeless People’s needs. As you know we are supporting many orphanages in Eastern Europe, that have endured another horrendous winter. As a result, there are needs that still have to be met for the children’s well-being. We have the glaring opportunity to help but lack the funds to meet these needs. Health needs, supplements, vitamins and special needs – like children needing [...]

Ministry in Ukraine in April – May 2017

March 16th, 2017|

I would appreciate your prayers very much for my upcoming visit to Latvia and Ukraine, where I will be checking on the orphans to see how well they have coped with the winter, and also conducting outreach seminars for the military, military high schools and basketball teams. In Kiev Ukraine I’ll have the privilege to minister at a Rugby Convention for the Ukrainian Rugby Union where I will have the opportunity to share Jesus with the sportsmen, managers, coaches and officials. This was arranged with the Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Sport on my last visit in October 2016. In Ukraine, [...]

God’s grace to three needy broken little boys – through your kind help

December 20th, 2016|

Little 4-year-old boy adopted in Latvia Our local managers and teams in Latvia and Ukraine, who do so much practical work to help the orphans in Eastern Europe, never cease to surprise me with their creativity and compassion. These teams of young people visit the orphanages regularly, providing concerts with spiritual value, and take them all sorts of goods we’ve been able to provide—bedding, clothes, medicines, vitamins and supplements, dishwashers, washing machines, tumble dryers and educational requisites. They also let me know the needs that the children have. We have one team in Latvia and two in Ukraine that are [...]

Latvia/Ukraine February 2016

February 19th, 2016|

The programme in Latvia was amazing. It was freezing with snow and icy cold winds each day. In Latvia I had wonderful seminars in the military high schools out in the country where the attention and respect was marvellous – even from some students who were challenged by my warnings to stay away from corrupting influences. The needy people in church services were very encouraged. Two Men’s Fellowship meetings at Ogre Ogre Men's Breakfast were very well appreciated. The church services at the Golgotha Baptist Church (where the Military Chaplain General is the pastor), and the large Russian [...]

Latvia ~ Orphans Winter Needs – Jan 2016

January 28th, 2016|

As we have said in our post for the Ukraine orphans really need urgent help for the Orphans of Latvia and Ukraine in their great need at this very cold time of the year in Ukraine and Latvia. The current temperatures average around -20C (-4F) horrendous, and many orphanages have been penalised for exceeding their electricity usage. We desperately need to meet those heating bills otherwise the power may be cut off. Please help us if you are able. See my seperate report for Ukraine. In Latvia the needs are the same, but the orphanages are more widely spread. The [...]
