Grace Bible Church’s vision is to create a transition home
in Makeyevka, Ukraine (Donetsk region). It is reported that
this region has the largest concentration of orphans in
Ukraine. The trip for 2013 is scheduled for August 8th - 18th, 2013.
In Ukraine 10-15% of children
who age out of a orphanage commit suicide before age 18. 60% of the
girls are lured into prostitution. 70% of the boys become hardened
criminals. Many of these children accept job offers that ultimately
result in their being sold as slaves. Millions of girls are sex
slaves today, simply because they were unfortunate enough to grow up
as orphans.” -Home for Good Foundation.
James 1:27 defines pure faith
as, “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father,
is this: to visit the orphans and widow in their affliction, and to
keep oneself unstained from the world.” There is no better testimony
to a “Grace changed life”, than to change the life of a
Ukrainian orphan.
Please follow us on our
grace-filled journey!
I hope you all have a safe, successful, and enlightening mission!
