THANKSGIVING … with the apostles Paul and Timothy we say to you saints in Christ Jesus … Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. (Philippians 1:2-5)
We are overwhelmed at God’s goodness. Last week we visited The Father’s Arms home for seniors in the village of Motovilevka, 1½ hours from the center of Kiev. A Ukrainian business man has provided quality insulation AND labor. As we walked inside we were amazed as it’s so close to being finished. The heating is in the floors. Many Ukrainians have given their expertise, time, efforts, and monies. The orphans that live there in the orphanage have done some work.
Here’s what yet needs to be done:
Tiles to be purchased for floors and walls in the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry. In the corridors and rooms will be quality linoleum to be purchased and installed. Painting is to be done in the bedrooms, dining and visiting area. Doors to be purchased. We trust in a couple months the elderly ones will come in. Also, the outside walls will have a final layer for ultimate weather protection.
We were told the American Embassy can provide items as stove, refrigerators, freezers, etc. etc. for humanitarian purposes. Some beds, mattresses and furniture have been provided.
