God’s grace to three needy broken little boys – through your kind help

December 20th, 2016|

Little 4-year-old boy adopted in Latvia Our local managers and teams in Latvia and Ukraine, who do so much practical work to help the orphans in Eastern Europe, never cease to surprise me with their creativity and compassion. These teams of young people visit the orphanages regularly, providing concerts with spiritual value, and take them  all sorts of goods we’ve been able to provide—bedding, clothes, medicines, vitamins and supplements, dishwashers, washing machines, tumble dryers and educational requisites. They also let me know the needs that the children have. We have one team in Latvia and two in Ukraine that are indispensable for the work of the ministry. At this time of the year we try to give our teams financial gifts to help them with their own needs and enable them to buy their children gifts and have a Christmas meal. They really are God’s servants and therefore worthy of

Latvia and Ukraine – October 2016

October 17th, 2016|

I want to thank you so much for your wonderful support and your faithful prayers. God bless you for your kindness that enabled us to meet so many of the orphans needs, as well as bring many people to Jesus, in needy places where I have recently been ministering. These countries included Latvia and Ukraine where I, with the help of my interpreter Victor Volchenko, was preaching in Military Bases and High Schools, as well as checking on the orphanages. It is already exceedingly cold in those regions – even before the snow has started falling. I was in Latvia last week conducting outreach seminars in three Military Bases, three Boot Camps in the forests, for new military cadets, five High Schools, and the Valmiera Basketball Team, now at the top of the National Basket Ball league all in four days – the traveling was hectic. The responses from the youngsters

Wonderful Ministry in USA

October 15th, 2016|

I had four weeks of very fruitful ministry in USA against the backdrop of uncertainty surrounding the upcoming presidential elections. Arriving in Bloomington in late August, I spent a couple of days resting up with my hosts, Steve and Janet Eddington. The House Church meeting in LeRoy, Illinois was very sweet and the worship was wonderful. The prophetic message I had for this congregation was well accepted and the fellowship over lunch was excellent. Sunday evening I enjoyed at the Harvest Family Church with a small, but enthusiastic group of people. Monday lunchtime I met with the group of strong businessmen in Ogden Illinois. The conversation was like "iron sharpening iron". Monday evening saw a saw a wonderful Outreach Dinner meeting in Ogden IL arranged by Ken and Pam Cooley for a delightful group of people. Back in Bloomington I enjoyed a wonderful evening meeting at the Jesus House with

The boy from an orphanage

March 3rd, 2016|

The winter of 2004 in Berdichevo, a small township near Zhytomyr, Ukraine, was no different to any other winter. It was cold. Cold and dark. An unknown woman carried a child in her womb, a child that she couldn't care less for. It was an unwanted, and very unexpected pregnancy. A pregnancy that she believed complicated her life more than she wanted. She wanted to be “free”. Free to do what she had become a slave to: drinking, partying and stealing. To her being pregnant and having a child was a liability from which she desperately wanted to escape. Fast forward ahead and it was now the point of no return. The labor pains brought her to a small hospital where soon after a urgent arrival she gave birth to a baby boy. He was small, skinny and unwanted. He certainly wasn’t ready to face the brutal reality of this world. And the world most assuredly had no desire to welcome this little creature into its roaring waves. There was not one who welcomed this skinny baby with a smile. He was a child no one wanted and no one cared for. No one BUT God. It was God Who welcomed this little

Latvia/Ukraine February 2016

Latvia/Ukraine February 2016 The programme in Latvia was amazing. It was freezing with snow and icy cold winds each day. In Latvia I had wonderful seminars in the military high schools out in the country where the attention and respect was marvellous – even from some students who were challenged by my warnings to stay away from corrupting influences. The needy people in church services were very encouraged. Two Men’s Fellowship meetings at Ogre which were well appreciated. The church services at the Golgotha Baptist Church (where the Military Chaplain General is the pastor), and the large Russian Word of Truth Church in Riga - both had very encouraging results. Then on Sunday afternoon my Latvian manager, Sasha, and I flew to Kiev to begin a very intense programme that is still underway. The programme in Kiev Ukraine, has been amazing – incredibly busy and immensely

Latvia ~ Orphans Winter Needs – Jan 2016

January 28th, 2016|

Latvia ~ Orphans Winter Needs – Jan 2016  As we have said in our post for the Ukraine orphans really need urgent help for the Orphans of Latvia and Ukraine in their great need at this very cold time of the year in Ukraine and Latvia. The current temperatures average around -20C (-4F) horrendous, and many orphanages have been penalised for exceeding their electricity usage. We desperately need to meet those heating bills otherwise the power may be cut off. Please help us if you are able.See my seperate report for Ukraine.In Latvia the needs are the same, but the orphanages are more widely spread. The effort our local team makes to get the food, bedding, clothes, nappies, vitamins and medicines to them takes longer, but the young people on our team are really dedicated to the Lord and this ministry, that they always deliver the goods and
