98


Ruslan is 9 years old and lives in an orphanage in the Ukraine. Our hope is to adopt him and have him become a part of our family.

Our family has been drawn to Ruslan and our hearts break that he is living in an orphanage in the Ukraine. He doesn't have any siblings and our home and hearts have room for him. About a year ago he was placed in the orphanage and it's our hope and deep desire to bring this sweet boy home to Minnesota for his forever family to love him and care for him as long as the Lord gives him to us.

Others in our geographic area have adopted from the same orphanage so Ruslan will have people he knows close by and we will have many resources available from those gone before us on the journey.

We trust in Gods perfect provision and timing for all He will supply, but we humbly ask that you or your company would feel led to contribute to our mission.

    As much as I want to thank each of you in person with a big hug, I cant. There has been an incredible outpouring from the heavens through annonymous donations. All of you are from heaven, angles in disguise, and as each of these come in, I cry, I laugh, and I praise God for what He is doing to complete this mission. Thank you, thank you, thank you, whoever you are

    Thank you everyone for your open hearts. We are also accepting offline donations via pay pal, this account has been designated for our adoption expenses that are not due to anyone in the process, but expenses we will have along the way and while we are there. This amount has been estimated at about $7,500.00 and is included in the overall goal amount set. Please email me direct for information on how to give to this fund.

    The Lord God is paving the way for Ruslan to become a part of our family. I was moved to tears tonight from an anonymous donor who gave an incredible gift. The Lord Jesus knows who you are, I am speechless and humbled.
