Going back about a week, I really wanted to share with you one of my journal entries that depicts how God is using Hope Center and gives you an idea of some of the impact that the people at Hope Center are having in the children's lives: August 1, 2008 Today was the Lifehouse Salvation skit. How powerful! It spoke so mightily to the kids, especi...

Hello friends and familyJ I hope all of you are doing well. I am still enjoying every minute of being in Ukraine. I absolutely love it here. It is like home already. Camp 4 ended on Monday, and the last members of the team left today. The Camp 5 team arrived today, but the kids don't arrive until Saturday. This team is different in that most of ...

Hi! Since it's been a while since I updated this thing, I have lots to tell you. You'd probably get sick of reading this really fast, so I'll try to summarize it quickly.

Hello/Preeveeyet! I am here in Ukraine with an amazing team of Americans, Ukrainians, and Russians, all working together at the Hope Center to share the love of Jesus with the orphans, street kids, and kids who live in abusive/neglectful situations. We play lots of games, eat even more food, swim in the Black Sea, do crafts, sing, dance, and hav...

Once we arrive in Simferopol we will get a chance to use normal (Western) facilities and eat lunch at a McDonalds. We'll then board passenger vans or a bus depending on group size and be driven to Kerch where the camp is. If you look at the map Kerch is right on the Black Sea. You can actually see Russia across the sea from the camp.
