PLEASE BE PRAYING FOR VISAS. I do believe their arrival date will be pushed back because they have not gotten appointment date or visas. Waiting on God's perfect timing. Pray all paperwork is in order and for no more problems.
At this moment we will be hosting 2 from Poltava (13 boy and 15 girl, requested).
2 girls ages 12 and 13 from close to Kyiv.
Oleg a 5 year old boy from Sumy.
I do not know about the 6th orphan.
Romans 12:13 Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Hosting Ukraine Orphans
Hosting dates June - August 20, 2008
6 orphans and a guardian from the Ukraine.
June 14 & 15 - BBQ at Palmerdale Baptist
Why are we hosting Ukraine orphans? There are over 100,000 orphans in Ukraine. 10% of them kill themselves before they are 18. Why? 60% of the girls end up in prostution. Orphanage boys have a 27% chance of getting a job. These children have a 1% chance of being adopted. Most must leave the orphanage at 16 with incomplete educations.
They need hope! We want to give them hope. We would like to give them a summer to remember. We plan on taking them to area attractions, swimming, and much more.
The cost: $2,500 per orphan to bring them to Atlanta.
This does not include anything in the U.S.
Biggest need: prayer.
If you or your church would like to help other needs: new clothes, paper products (plates, forks, toliet paper), food, meal(s), fruit, bottled water, juice boxes, gift cards for gas or clothes, new shoes, or sponsor a field trip. If you or your church has a 12 or 15 passenger van that we could borrow for trips that would be a blessing.
We would love to have lots of volunteers and churches working with us this summer to bless these children. There is still time to pick a day to help. Groups are encouraged to visit, provide meals, sponsor activities and just play with the orphans. Contact host to set up visits.
Volunteers needed: Field trips friends, cooking, drivers, dentist, eye doctor, host a day outing and much more.
Thank you to Grace Chapel for their love and support.
Thank you to Living Word Church, Jane Anderton and friends for the plant/yard sale on May 24.
Thank you to Palmerdale Baptist for the Boston Butt BBQ June 14-15.
Thank you to our family and friends for their prayers, love and support.
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and fautless is this; to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27
