Merry Christmas!



We pray that you all have an incredible Christmas this year! Please remember the reason that we celebrate Christmas. The greatest gift of all was given to us by God more than 2,000 years ago wrapped in a bundle, lying in a manger. What an awesome gift to give us! And we don't even deserve it! As we give gifts to our loved ones this year, let us remember why we give the gifts and give unselfishly. We are so fortunate to live in the United States of America and that we can worship freely and celebrate Christmas in the way that we do. Many people reading this blog are not as lucky as we are. The orphans in Odessa are without parents tonight, the street kids are without warmth and shelter. Please remember them in your prayers and thoughts this Christmas while we are warm by our trees and presents. We serve such a loving God, I can't tell you enough how grateful I am to all of you for all of your support this past year....and to Him for sending all of you to Youth of Ukraine. It is because of all of you that Youth of Ukraine is making a difference in Odessa. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
