Hi folks! I just joined the forums, but I wanted to send out this request. We are hosting a Ukrainian orphan for the next 5 weeks. They are here on a program that brings them over to expose them to Christian homes. New Horizons for Children is the organization who is heading the whole thing up.

Anyways, my request is two-fold. First that satan would be bound up and not allowed to attack us during this time. Second that God would move somebody to adopt this girl. She is 14 and does not have much longer in the orphanage over there. I believe at 16 they pretty much put them out on the streets.

I have a blog going that is attempting to document the whole experience. Sharon was also nice enough to post a link on her website as well. At the blog I have going there is a video of the arrival from our point of view, as well as local news coverage.

Thanks for lending me your ears, and your prayers!

Cool!  We did something similar for a couple of Taiwanese foreign exchange students back several years ago.  They were 14 & 15.  Was able to take them to our church one week, and then to a Chinese church one week.  Sent them home with a Chinese Bible for each of them.  It was a great experience.

That is awesome! We have a Russian translator here for the duration who will be translating a Sunday School class. We have a few Ukrainian bibles to send back with her as well as some tracts.
