Thank you…

Yesterday afternoon we got to take a trip with the Director of the Tomsk Baby House.  “Zena” is the head Doctor and Director of the City Baby House in Tomsk.  She has been overwhelmed by the generosity of our friends and family.   As you can see from the pictures, we have begun spending the $2000 dollars that was given to us by you.   Yesterday we bought dozens of shoes (literally all the small sizes the store had), toys, and around 100 items of clothing.   Based on what we’ve seen the children in the Baby House wearing, I know these items were desperately needed. 

The good news is that we still have around two-thirds of the money left and we will soon purchase a “meat grinder” (I think we would call it a food processor) for them to puree meat and other high protein foods for the children along with more shoes and clothing.  “Zena” has been an extremely frugal shopper with us and is trying to make your money go as far as possible to help the 65 children she is responsible for.

It is very easy to tell that your contributions have made a significant impact, not only for the children, but also on the Director and our agency workers.

I can’t possibly thank you enough for allowing us to be the messengers of your love, grace, and mercy towards these orphans.   I pray that you will realize that you have been obedient to James 1:27 and that your example will be an encouragement to others to do the same.

Humbly,

Chris
