Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.

Isaiah 1:17


Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

James 1:27

Pictures on the playground

 Curtis (One of the missionaries we know working in Ukraine) just emailed some pictures of Dema on the playground.  I was "chatting" with his Curtis's brother Adam asking what we could bring for the kids to play with while we are visiting the orphanage--the answer was a few deflated soccer balls with a pump and needle.  One of our friends who has already been there told us that she did a lot of shopping looking for playground balls...there were none to be found! 
 This is a picture of Dema playing with Denis!  We were told to be sure to bring knit hats, and mittens, it is only the "bad" parents who allow their children to be outside without them!

Denis and his sister were here this summer--they are being adopted by a family in Louisiana!  Looks like we might need to plan a reunion road trip sometime in the future...
