April 2026

Dear friends,

Easter is coming very soon and I hope that your joy will be complete knowing what our Lord Jesus did on your behalf on the cross at Calvary and with his resurrection. With everything happening in both the Ukraine and the Middle East, the following passages may give you hope in our turbulent world:

“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy by being the firstborn of the dead” (1 Colossians 1:15-18). Trust and rest in knowing that Jesus is in control of everything. Another passage is this:

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:3-5). Because of Christ’s resurrection, we too can have a hope that there is something special awaiting you – an eternal inheritance kept just for you! May these two scriptures encourage you this Easter! Now for our update …

In our region of Kharkiv, in eastern Ukraine, the war continues to rage on with an assortment of missiles and drone attacks. Just a few days ago, the Russian military bombed 17 different locations within our region: https://gwaramedia.com/en/russia-attacks-17-settlements-of-kharkiv-region-injures-25, however, this isn’t an abnormal occurrence. Because the Russian military has consistently hit hospitals, schools, orphanages, etc. many children can no longer attend school and parents are improvising when possible. Another report came out recently that approximately 20,000 children are attending school in bomb shelters within our region: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/16/in-ukraines-kharkiv-20000-children-go-underground-to-study.

Please keep these children in your prayers – there will be so much trauma, stress, grief and loss for years to come.

Good News Church – Nova Voldalaga

This month, I would like to share about Good News Church in the town of Nova Vodalaga, which is about a 50 minute drive from our city of Kharkiv. We have partnered with this church for over 20 years in many different outreach activities. Pastor Victor has been the only senior pastor that this church has ever known and he has been extremely faithful to his calling over the years. He needs your prayers for his own health, if you are willing to pray for him.

When this war began, many families that were unable to leave the country fled to this town for more safety. During the early parts of the war, many families would double or triple up in small homes, like sardines in a tin can – but they felt safer being away from the large city that was laden with bombs and missiles. The panic and fear has subsided with time and now families are attempting to live normal lives, due to the war being over 4 years in length. The horrific living conditions within many locations are the new normal.

Good News Church has done an excellent job of blessing many families over the past four years of this war. With little to no outside assitance (other than what Slavic Christian Ministries has provided), this church has sacrificially given food, clothing, Christmas gifts, and even opened up a school within their church, creating a classroom for local children to attend. God has miracuoulsy provided the funds for the church to grow and expand its facilities due to the increase of worshippers. The gospel is being preached and lives are being transformed, praise the Lord!

While the Russian military has been targeting schools, hospitals, orphanages, and energy facilities, churches have been targeted less often – and since Nova Voldalaga isn’t in one of the hotter military zones, families feel comfortable allowing their children to come together for school inside the church. Clearly, this church is meeting families needs on a weekly basis with food, clothes, the gospel message and lots of love!

Clearly they are living out Matthew 25:34-36: “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’”

I thank God for the faithfulness of this church showing the love of Christ on a daily basis. Your contributions help encourage them in their calling to help those less fortunate. Thank you too for also sacrificing so much prayerfully and tangibly for God’s kingdom work; thank you also for being my friend and ministry partner!

In Jesus’ love,

Ron

March 2026

Dear friends,

There are so many updates this month, but let me begin on a positive note: on March 1 our ministry had our 25th anniversary. Time has passed so quickly and I thank God that he has allowed us to partner with him through the years. Through our various outreaches to orphans, kids, theology courses, medical missions, English evangelism, drug rehab, refugee assistance and more, we have served over 16,000 people and seen around 1,300 people make first time confessions of faith. And during the war, we have touched 100,000+ lives with some sort of spiritual or physical help. This could never have happened without your gracious heart, so thank you for doing so much for Christ and his kingdom!

On a more difficult news front, we are all focused on the war between the US/Israel and Iran. We are truly living in perilous times and I am hoping this war will not be a drawn out war, like the one in Ukraine, where we just passed the four year anniversary (with 2.7 million+ people having been killed or injured). What you may not know is that Russia threaned western European countries this week. The headline in the newspaper named “The Mirror” reported that, “Putin threatens horror strikes on Europe in response to Iran leader’s death.” The article ends with a Russian representative stating that the only thing that Europe understands is force. We need to keep praying that this war in Ukraine will end soon and not expand to other parts of Europe. We also need the war to end so the Ukrainian people can mourn, heal and rebuild their country and lives.

In this update I want to highlight pastor Sasha (I am leaving his last name out on purpose). For those of you who have followed us for many years, pastor Sasha has been my friend and ministry partner for 25 years, and we have done much ministry together. As you may recall, pastor Sasha was taken captive and brutally beaten to an inch of his life by the Russian military for serving Christ, loving people, and caring for the displaced and hurting. You can go to our website’s war blog and scroll down to May 2022 to refresh yourself on his story. Many people in the Christian community prayed for his survival, including many of us, and thank goodness, he survived, is now physically healed, and continues to faithfully serve Christ and his church in Ukraine. Here is his update:

“I greet you Ron and everyone in America, in the name of Jesus Christ. I thank God that for the many years your ministry has helped us! We continue to live in very difficult times and with everything we have had to endure, this war has truly taken its toll on us; and honestly, it is hard to put into words all the horrors we have experienced, but God has shown us his mercy. At one point, our town, region, and our church building were invaded by the Russian military, but now the Russians are gone and we have resumed worshipping God and engaging in ministry again. Over the past four years, we have evacuated many families—both from our church and others who were in deperate need - and there were countless amount of people needing help. There was one family where a mother and daughter came to my wife because her family of five (which included a small child) were begging for food and asking if there was anything we could spare to help her youngest child, who was starving. We asked the mother if she had any food for the rest of her family? Her response was, “No, we have nothing for any of us, but we just want our youngest child to survive, can you help us?”

We had compassion on them and gave them as much as we had the ability to do, so they could survive – this is what we always try to do as Christ’s ambassadors! This is a common story in our area. Nevertheless, this family left us with joyful tears knowing that they made it a bit longer. As I have learned firsthand, providing aid to people in need puts us under great risk because the Russian’s are targeting us. Some of my friends who helped those in need are still missing and presumed dead. I am one of the blessed one’s where God showed me mercy by allowing me to survive after my torture.

At one point our church building was hit by a missle and the windows, roof, and sancturary were damaged. When our building was seized, the Russians stole many things and said, “Your Bible is anti-Soviet propaganda and your church will no longer exist and everything in this building is ours.” Well, they are gone, we are back in our church building, and God is glorified once again through our weekly worship! God is so much bigger than our circumstances and I thank God for his guidance and protection! It is still painful to look at all the damage caused by this war with so many destroyed homes and so many broken lives. I have known many people who had to endure beatings and were taken captive - many were killed and families were torn apart, but our Lord saves us. We ask God daily for his mercy and to keep us safe.

We continue sharing Christ and proclaim the good news in our town and 15 surrounding villages. We are doing our best to serve Jesus in a difficult situation. Any help you can send us is a blessing, so thank you in advance!

When the war began, many families fled from our area and there were only three children that remained in our church. The children could not endure all that horror, and the parents feared for their lives. I still remember those frightened little eyes—both of the children and of their mothers. As I prayed, I kept saying the same words over and over: “Lord Jesus, please protect these families and find them a safe place to live.” We continue to minister to families and we are seeing many more children in our church again. While we don’t want any child to experience war, we are thankful to serve and love them. Please pray for these children and families salvation. Thank you for remembering us.”
- Pastor Sasha

Friends, I have purposely not shared pastor Sasha’s photo and location for everyone’s safety, but thank you for praying. If you want to bless pastor Sasha and his church, our ministry will be sending him a financial gift in April. Thank you for not becoming numb to the realities of this war and always being a blessing to war-torn Ukraine, our ministry partners, and everyone they serve for our Lord Jesus. They are true heroes, living out their faith every single day under extreme conditions. You are a blessing too - thank you so much for being my friend and partner!

In Jesus’ love,

Ron Putnam

Feburary 2026

Dear friends,

I hope you are doing well and looking forward to expressing your love to your beloved on Valentines Day. After reading this prayer letter, I hope you will hug those you love a bit longer this holiday.

Before I get into the testimonial portion of our letter, I know that the news never seems to end in Ukraine, but our region continues to get hit regularly by the Russian military as we approach the four year anniversary of this war.

Since the last prayer letter, our region has endured a consistent influx of missles, bombs and drones, due to Kharkiv’s 30-mile proximity to the Russian border. Just today, a Russian drone killed a humanitarian aid worker delivering food to hungry people; and three weeks ago another drone targeted and killed two other humanitarian aid workers. Are the Russians now targeting those providing love, care and food? If so, our partners are now at greater risk and will need even more prayers for their safety!

Also this week, a Russian drone killed a family in their home, leaving only the pregnant mother alive, while losing her husband and three other children from the explosion. How is this mother supposed to live with this loss? It is inconceviable to me the grief she will endure as she gives birth a few months from now.

And once again, another energy facility was destroyed several weeks ago by Russian missiles that cast many people in Kharkiv into the cold and darkness. Friends, these are only a “few” of the stories. I could go on and on …

I will be providing church updates soon, but there are so many stories of people’s lives you have impacted through your prayers and donations that I felt compelled to share a few of the lives you have touched. Here are three testimonies:

Dennis’ Story

Our first story is about a really wonderful boy, named Dennis. By God’s grace, he is alive, but his house was hit by a missle and his family’s home was burned to the ground. Dennis is only 9 years old and already knows the horrors of war. He is trying to learn to read and now has a speech impediment. Is it a condition he had before the war or has the trauma of war done this to him? One of our partnering churches is trying to help him get to a safe location and try to recover, hoping his speech improves again. Please pray for Dennis and many children like him.

Alice and Vitalik’s Journey

Alice and Vitalik are siblings and had a rough beginning to life. Their mom and grandma are both deaf and somewhat handicapped. Vitalik also cannot speak or hear, making life changelling for him too.

When the war began, their dad went to war to fight (it is unknown at this time if he is still alive), however, their uncle, whom they loved has already died in the war.

During the first year or two of the war, the family lived in the basement of a home, where there was no light, running water, electricity or natural gas. Then a missile hit the home and destroyed the one place that provided safety (no matter how horrible the conditions). The family moved to another home owned by relatives and the mother left the children with them, since she didn’t have the capacity to care for them any longer. I do not know where the mom is located or if their fatiher is alive or not, but these children are waiting for their dad to come home someday … I hope and pray that he does! Their photos were taken by one of our partnering churches serving these two kids at a children’s camp for special needs kids. As you can see, there is a brief moment of joy and our Christian partners are always trying to bring the hope of Christ to all kids!

Sophia Finally Smiles

Sophia was 7 years old when the war broke out and she is around 11 years old today. Her home was in Volchansk, which is in our Kharkiv region, but only three miles from the Russian border. Her town was decimated in the early stages of the war almost four years ago and today is only a landscape of rubble and devestation. Her town was one of the first towns that experienced the full onslaught of the Russian advance with endless explosions. The town was eventually liberated by the Ukrainains and that was the moment that Sophia and her mom fled for their lives, leaving evertything behind as the town burned to the ground around them.

They had no idea where to go because they had no other relatives to flee to for safety. They had no money and no housing – they left with absolutely nothing but their lives and with only God watching over them. There are still many fears they have after almost four years of enduring this war, but they are in a better spot now than earlier. One of our ministry partners embraced Sophia and her mom and they now go to church regularly, with Sophia enjoying Sunday school with other children. Her mom found a job that at least pays enough for their food and rent.

The photo of Sophia on the first page is when she was at a Christian children’s camp that you helped support. It was the best five days of her life and for a brief moment of time, she was allowed to be a kid again. As I mentioned, they don’t know what their future holds, like so many other families, but are taking it one day at a time. For now, Sophia’s mom is just thankful to see a smile on her daughter’s face.

Dear friends, these are just three stories of children affected by this war – there are thousands upon thousands more in our region alone. This Valentines Day, love those around you well; we are never promised tomorrow and we don’t know what the future holds. But I do know God loves his children, which includes you, and he will never leave you or forsake you!

Thank you for always praying for the Ukrainian children and supporting our minisry and to Ukraine!!

In Jesus’ love,

Ron

January 2026

Dear friends,

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! We are just two weeks into the New Year and things seem to be unsettling around the world with news from Venezuela, Iran, and the on-going war in Ukraine. Can you believe that this war will be four years in duration next month?

Did you now know that the Russian’s aggression toward Ukraine has now lasted longer than the Soveit Union’s fight against the Nazi’s during World War 2? The Soviet military spent 1,418 days fighting the Nazi’s, however, as of January 13, 2026, the Ukrainians have spent 1,420 days trying to repel the Russians, with no end in sight.

Last week, the Russians fired a hypersonic missile and destroyed a very vital/strategic reserve natural gas storage faciliy in Lviv, Ukraine (western Ukraine, near Poland). In our region of Kharkiv, the Russian military continues to target the heating and electricity plants, causing blackouts and very cold conditions. While the attacks are regular in Kharkiv, a missile hit a residential area killing several (including a 3 year old child) and injuring 28 more people on January 2, 2026. While very heart-breaking it isn’t all bad news … there is good news too!

As you may remember, we gave each of our ministry partners the freedom to choose if they wanted to purchase firewood and/or Christmas gifts, due to the dire energy situation. Most of our churches engaged in a Christmas program and provided small gifts for the kids, mostly candy. We were able to help bless between 2,600 – 2,700 children this Christmas with your generosity. As usual, there was a Christmas program at each church, food, candy, Bhbles given, and gifts. It was a wonderful evening for many kids. Thank you for your amazing generosity this past Christmas season!

Here is what pastor Vlad Kalin said from New Life Church in Kharkiv:

“Hello everyone at Slavic Christian Ministries! During our Christmas program, we had 200 children in our church for the event. As we usually do at Christmas, we organize a large-scale event for the children and their parents. We invited 40 families who are in very difficult life situations with no home church and not much hope in life, due to everything being taken from them one way or another. These families were dealing with divorce, abuse, living in extreme poverty, etc. Thanks to your generosity, our church was able to buy presents for all the children and put on this Christmas program for everyone. Thank you so much for blessing our church and these wonderful children!” – Pastor Vlad

Here is another tesimony for pastor Sergei of Good News Church in Kharkiv:

“Hello friends, I want to thank everyone from Slavic Christian Ministries and I hope you had a Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year. Thank you for blessing our children this year! In our main campus in Kharkiv, we had a big Christmas program for 650 children. Some were from our church and others were from the community and we were so delighted to see so many smiling faces and serve so many kids.

After this event, we then delivered 350 Christmas gifts and children’s Bibles to kids who are refugees and are living in various temporary housing around our city (that lived too far way to join us that evening). We also packed an additional 500 Christmas gifts for children in our satellite campuses around our region, who are just trying to survive each and every day. At these locations, we also had a Christmas program, but not as elaborate as within our home church, but all the children were super happy.

Lastly, we visited a village named Mirnoe, where many refugee families who left our city and have been living there for several years now. Many people here are the wives and children who have lost their husbands and father’s in the war and are going through a really difficult time dealing with extreme trauma, grief, and mental problems. We try to love on them regularly, but this Christmas, we were able to give out another 700 gifts and Bibles to these children too. Thank you for providing joy, if even for a brief moment to these beautiful children. We love you all!” – Pastor Sergei

Dear friends, thank you for making it another memorable year. We ended the year about $20,000 down from the year before, but we were still able to accomplish everything we budgeted for in 2025. Thank you so much for being a huge blessing to Ukraine and praying for our ministry regularly!!

In Jesus’ love,

Ron

Dear Friends,

As we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus, may the light and joy of Christ fill your heart with peace, your home with love, and your days going forward with hope.

Christmas reminds us that God’s greatest gift came to us in humility, grace, and unfailing love, so that one day he could become our atoning sacrifice for those who believe and make a way for us to be reconciled with the Father through the cross.

Paul reminds us in Philippians 2: 6-8, that "Jesus who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage, rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death - even death on a cross."

We cannot separate the birth of Jesus from his death, but on this day, we celebrate his birth. Therefore, may the joy of our Lord renew your faith, the Holy Spirit encourage you always, and our heavenly Father guide you into 2026. Have a wonderful Christmas!

In Jesus' love,

Ron

December 2025

Dear friends,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and you are now getting prepared and excited for this Christmas season. It is my hope that you will enjoy celebrating the birth of our Savior, while also being able to expres your love and Christ’s love to your family and friends this upcoming season. For me, you are my gift this Christmas – I am so blessed to have you as my friend and ministry partner. Thank you so much!!

Once again, Ukraine is in the news quite a bit since my November prayer letter. There have been several intense conversations between the White House and the warring parties - both Russia and Ukraine. US special envoy Steve Witkoff has been speaking to many people about Trump’s proposed 28-point peace plan. There have been discussions, revisions, and somewhat of a tepid openness to it. There were not a lot of new items within the body of the document that haven’t been conveyed in the past, but both Russia and Ukraine are more open than in previous encounters. It is said to have been revised to 19 points, which are more favorable toward Russia than Ukraine, but the reality is that Russia is continuing to win the war. Apparently, some western european nations are not favorable towards the plan and seem skeptical.

On December 1, 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his team met with Ukrainian officials in Florida. While being vague in their public comments, it was expressed that the discussions were “productive, delicate, and complicated, with more work to be done.” If I am understanding the situation correctly, Ukraine is running out of men and resources and doesn’t want to give up territory taken by the Russian military. And Russia doesn’t want Ukraine to ever join NATO, among other items too. What I don’t know is if this will proceed to peace or will the hostilities continue for longer than we all want to see. I do believe Zelensky is slowly losing power in Ukraine, so this is playing into the situation too. In my opinion, for this war to end, Ukraine will need to yield the land that was taken during this confict. Until we have an agreed upon peace agreement, the missiles, bombs and drones continue to hit Kharkiv and much of Ukraine.

As a recap, due to our area of Kharkiv being hit extremely hard by missiles, bombs and drones, the power plants are not functioning or functioning at a very low capacity. Therefore, we have sent your Christmas donations to Ukraine in advance so all seven churches we partner with can decide to either buy gifts for the kids or firewood for families with children (before the severe cold remains for the winter), or a combination of both gifts and firewood. We are believing that some of your donation will help with a Christmas program which includes the entire family and includes singing, entertainment for the kids, gift distribution, a sermon, and maybe food too. Please pray that we once again will be able to reach thousands of children with the gospel message of Jesus Christ and how much he loves them!

Below is a testimony that didn’t make it in on time for our Christmas update last January, so I am sharing it now to encourage you that everything you are doing is touching a child’s life:

“Hello, my name is Evgeniy, and I have a son named David, who is nine-years-old son and lives in the village of Tsirkuny, near Kharkiv. From the very beginning of this war with Russia, my son has been living in the middle of one of the conflict zones and I cannot express to you the horrors he has seen and experienced, and what he has had to endure. He had to live in a basement for a long time without heat or light. Food was scarce and very difficult to obtain. I am so proud that he has been able to survive and I can be reunited with him again. All these experiences have hurt my son deeply, but he is alive, thank God! Jesus was very kind and merciful to keep him alive.

David now lives with his mother and grandmother, because my wife separated from me. Since leaving the home, I have become a Christian and I try to share about Jesus with my son. I was allowed to have him this Christmas and I brought him to church for the Christmas program. He enjoyed being with the other children. It was amazing to see the Christian love, the presents, and hear the gospel message and that Jesus loves all the children! It was nice to see a smile on his face and joy in his eyes. The event was very good; the entertainment team gave the children a great, interesting holiday. I think the children even forgot about the shelling, which had become more frequent during the Christmas season. Of course, it was special for my son, and he was delighted with the gifts. He received a large bag of candy and high-quality winter shoes, which he really needed. It was incredible. In these difficult times, it's rare for children to receive such gifts. I think my son felt God's love deeply. Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this event.” - Evgeniy

Dear friends, thank you for helping us this Christmas and continually throughout the year – you are making a huge difference, one child at at time. This year we should be able to help a couple thousands kids again through the seven churches. Merry Christmas, dear friends. I love you all!

In Jesus’ love,

Ron

November 2025

Dear friends,

I hope you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends in a couple of weeks. This year, we should be thankful for all of God’s blessing and favor, since Jesus loves us beyond measure. I know that you are very special to me and I thank you for your love, prayers, and generosity. Thank you so much!!!
While Ukraine doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving the same days as we do, they don’t have much to be thanksful for this year.

Usually, my friends post Thanksiving celebrations in their churches, but this year, I don’t remember seeing any photos or updates, which breaks my heart. Again, with around 2.5 million men killed or injured, it is hard to celebrate, as you can expect. But I know our partnering churches in Ukraine that God for each of you – I know this to be absolutely true!

As I wrote last month, our region of Kharkiv was hit hard recently, and the Russian military took out the power plant, so electricity and natural gas are in very limited supply. On November 8th, the aggressors targeted critical infrastructe once again and the entire region is back under emergency power outage schedules/usage, with rotating blackouts throughout the city and region. Some parts have also lost water resources, which is very concerning to me too. Our friends have asked us to pray for this winter because they are expecting it to be very difficult. Here is one article: https://www.ukrinform.net/.../4056522-in-kharkiv-power....

To add even more sorrow and to show the depravity of this war, a Russian drone “intentionally” targeted a kindergarten with 48 children inside. The kids were trapped, until finally they were rescued. Here is another article: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9q1w9ypl8jo. Please pray for the children in this war; I am so sad for all the children that are permanently affected by the horrors that they see and experience.

I have mentioned for several years now that the Ukraine government had moved to a foster care system for many of the orphans because early in the war, the Russians were bombing the orphanages and schools. Well, it looks like they are back at it again. This makes me so angry, because we love children, and much of our ministry before and during this war has been to take care of the kids.

We have already begun sending wire transfers to our ministry partners in Ukraine this past week, trusting our beloved partners like you will continue to be faithful this Christmas season too. Why so early? Every year we ask our ministry partners to buy somesort of special gift for the children that is practical (coats, hats, gloves, shoes, pants, and sweaters), and toys and candy for the smaller kids. But this year, with very little heat and electricity, we gave the money with no strings attached. We said, “You can use the money this Christmas however you want – gifts and candy for the kids or firewood to keep people warm; all we ask of you is to please buy firewood for families who have children.”

I want all children to have a good Christmas and if enough money comes in we may send money twice. However, I believe children would prefer to be warm all winter over having one gift.
Below are two testimonies from earlier that didn’t make it in on time for our Christmas updates, so I will post it here as a preview of things to come for this year:

“My daughter Valeria and I are very grateful for the Christmas celebration held at the Light of Life Church. We are especially grateful for the shoes we received – they were a very precious and meaningful gift. Valeria's mother died, leaving her in the care of her grandmother. My life wasn't ideal for caring for my daughter and she grew up without proper care. Now that I've become a Christian, I really want to make up for lost time, but financially, things are very difficult for us right now. I'm unemployed, and I couldn't afford to buy her the shoes that she desperately needed. They were an unforgettable gift; now my daughter's winter walks will be comfortable. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration a success.” – Veleria’s Dad

“Hello, My name is Inna, and I want to express my deep gratitude to the church for its assistance. I'm a single mother with a disabled son, and due to the war, my son and I are also displaced. I can't go to work because I care for my son. So, we have to survive, thanks to the help of believers. Pastor Zhenya and Anya have always helped me and never turned down my requests. It was especially wonderful for my son Yaroslav to attend the Christmas celebration at church. My son was very pleased and we were filled with joy to celebrate with God’s people. It was very interesting and fun, and, just as importantly, the gifts you gave us was so wonderful. My son received some winter boots, which we really needed. My son and I are very grateful for such an expression of love. Thank you so much for blessing our family this Christmas!” – Inna

Thank you for being a huge blessing – we try to steward your gifts for God’s glory and to help many children. Happy Thanksgiving!

In Jesus’ love,

Ron
