these kids need hope...





Today students at School #1 heard the message of HOPE...During Q&A time, one student asked, "What's the most important thing in life?" Some giggled under their breath "sex". Micah stood up and looked straight into their eyes and said, "You must have a goal, you must have HOPE that will drive you to the most important thing in life. I have HOPE and I have dreams. You need to strive for that most important thing in life".

You see in Kaharlyk Ukraine, these people don't have HOPE. The town is 870 years old and most will die here of depression. These kids need to hear the hope of eternal life with Christ!

When the Dice Game was presented and the #2 was rolled, their answer for what the options are was always, "Abortion!" It was an amazing opportunity for students to hear and see TRUTH about the miracle of life in the womb at 7, 8, 9 and 10 weeks.

The word "adoption" is very foreign to them. I shared my testimony of being a birth-mom and placing my child in a two parent Christian family home.

Teachers, social workers, country officials are very open to this message being brought to their students. Ignorance is the #1 reason why the epidemic of HIV/AIDS and STD's are so prevalent in Ukraine. Through God's help, we are starting to bring much needed knowledge to these kids and at the same time, sharing the hope we have...

Please continue to pray. Tomorrow I will teach in another school and meet so many hurting kids. God is doing a huge work here and it is a privilege to be able to be here to witness it.
