Dear Friends,
Thank you for sustaining us with prayer and encouragement over the past weeks. They have been full and fruitful.
In the beginning of February, we received visitors from our US office – Chris and Phileena Heuertz, the directors of WMF, and Liz Ivkovich, the director of administration. We had a good time sharing and catching [...]
Dear Friends,
I write from my desk, warming my fingers, on our first snowy December day. We’re all thrilled as the snow accumulates. You see, this didn’t happen last year, so we’re making up for the missed snowball fights and snow angels.
One of the boys from the Day Center said to me, “This is too [...]
Dear Friends,
It seems I have been doing a lot running around over the past two months. Lenutsa and I went to a week-long missionary retreat in Turkey. Shortly after that I went to the States for two weeks to attend a board meeting and visit friends and family. It was such a short and fast [...]
Dear Friends,
Thank you for praying for our week away at camp with the kids. Although the weather forecast was for rain, it only sprinkled on our way to camp and on our last morning there. Otherwise, it was a perfect, sunny week. As usual on the evening before camp, the kids came to the Center, [...]

Dear Friends,
As I write this letter, we are gearing up for the first day of school. It is a bit chaotic as all the children storm their schools to find out their and school schedule. For our part, we try to organize ourselves so that the kids [...]
Dear Friends,
We are really enjoying our summer season. The weather has been beautiful: hot in the days and cool in the nights. We have begun different activities for the kids. We are doing various discussions on drug abuse and addiction, STD's, and domestic violence and abuse. The kids also chose to [...]
