New Life! An Update from Ukraine
Thank you for giving and praying for orphaned and vulnerable kids. Here’s a recent update from our team in Ukraine–.
.
The Christmas season gives us unique opportunities to reach orphans and vulnerable young adults in our community.
.
One highlight this year was our New Life gathering for at-risk women and single mothers.
The New Life Program is a direct result of Natasha’s vision. Natasha is a fellow ministry team member and an orphan graduate who saw the need facing many of her friends and other young women as they graduate from the orphanage system. Thousands of vulnerable young women—many with children—are trapped in a cycle of hopelessness, without anyone to love, protect, or care for them. Today over 100 young women are being served and discipled in the New Life program.
We held a nice Christmas event for 80 people on our camp property—

.
The ministry continues to grow, and we are thankful! Young women and mothers continue to be added to the group, and we welcome each one.
Currently, we have 11 New Life team members leading the program. 5 of them are orphan graduates, which is a testimony to the goodness of God Who loves to bring beauty from ashes. The New Life team members have a unique ability to bring hope to at-risk girls and mothers by sharing their own stories of redemption. We are grateful for each one.

Every 3 months we host a large event for the group, and each week we visit the young women in their homes. Each young lady is assigned to a mentor, and we offer weekly small groups and special events for the kids. We make sure there is no want for food, care, or accountability in the group.

Our prayer is that every young woman we work with will learn that Jesus loves her. And will choose to trust Him in return.
Thank you for supporting this life-changing ministry with your prayer and your gifts.
