  • 3 Humanitarian missions over 2 years

      14 May 2024

    Over the past two years, our team poured our hearts into three impactful humanitarian missions in Ukraine.

    We journeyed through perilous terrain, braving air attacks and treacherous roads, to deliver aid to over 700 families in remote villages near the frontline. We brought comfort to orphanages, provided essential supplies to women, and brought smiles to children with toys.

    Amidst the heartbreak and joy, our resolve remains unwavering. Yes, we will do it again. Yes, we will continue to risk our lives for strangers in need. The innocent souls in Ukraine depend on us, on you. Could you kindly share or forward our new Give-a-Little page with those who echo our compassion?

  • Slight change of plans

      17 June 2022

    Just before we left for Târgu Mureș, we heard from “Fight for Freedom” who helps Ukrainians refugees fleeing from the war, about a special-needs orphanage of 90 children that earlier lost their orphanage in Odessa and which needed urgent supplies. So, we quickly picked up and dropped supplies off in Suceava, north-eastern Romania.

    Special shout-out to Carl and Sue van Schreven from “Orphans Aid International” for arranging the supplies and contacts, Stefi Micliuc from “Fundația Kiwi Casa Bucuriei” and Stewart Thompson from “Growth for Tomorrow” for their help and incredible driving skills! Especially driving at night time past a stationary truck fleet in the Ukraine that stretched over 25 km! The video was taken during day time. Night time was much more intense!

      I pray for your protection as well as all these precious children and people. May they experience God as their good and caring Father, somewhere in their days on earth. God bless you

    Thank you so much to all who prayed and supported us in serving the Ukrainian people! We are very grateful for having been given this opportunity. We dropped off the supplies at an organisation called City of Goodness. They currently look after 200 women and children and expect more to arrive. The photos include a few of them including the babies that were orphaned by the war. The people were so grateful!! Note the sandbags in front of the windows are for in case of air strikes. They also have a safety room inside. Thanks again❤️
