Torez, Ukraine Orphan Card Sets
We have been home from Torez for 6 months now, however it is forever carved into our hearts. It is impossible to visit this town and this facility with their precious children, to then come home to America and live the "American dream". If not us, then who? Who will advocate for these children if we do not? I failed to find a child at this facility who was not precious, who was not made in the image of God. I often times think how God must have loved Dmitriy. How here was this little boy - blind, speechless and sick, yet God knew him. God knew just where He was, He was not forgotten by God. God loves, cares and knows each one by name. In fact, God cared so much for this child that He called a very unworthy couple in America, a couple without resources, over the ocean to met Him right where he was, in Torez, Ukraine. For God to show Himself alone as the resource so that He alone may get all the Glory! Only God can do that! In fact, that is just what He does. He mets us, undeserving sinners just where we are. With all our baggage, with all our sickness, He mets us. Just as our little boy was failing to thrive, so will we without Christ. There is no life outside of Him.
"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
John 10:10
We are working with life2orphans on getting things together to sell these orphan card sets. In each set there are 12 glossy 5x7 cards with envelopes. Each card holds the beautiful face of a child from the Torez facility. All proceeds will go towards the children. I have a set here and they are beautiful cards. Visit http://www.life2orphans.org to learn more on ways to help not only the orphans in Torez but orphans throughout Ukraine.
