Praying

We are praying about hosting this summer.
Our family is in the process of adopting three children.
Join us as we pray for God's leadership in deciding if we will host this year.
We do not plan on hosting 8 but possibly 2-4 children.
Thank you for your prayers.

Visiting the Orphans

Rachel, my oldest daughter, and I will be visiting the orphans Oct 29- Nov 10 in Ukraine. They have a fall break. We have permission from the orphanages to come and visit. We are very excited about seeing all of them again. They were such a joy in the lives of many while they were here.
We are hoping to take blankets and candy to the orphans. If you would like to donate to the mission trip or things we will be taking that would be awesome. Please be praying for the children and us. We pray for God's perfect provision and timing.

Visiting the Ukraine

We are praying about dates for taking a group to visit the Ukraine. We are planning on visiting the orphanages that allowed us to host children.
One orphanage has requested blankets. If possible we would like to carry blankets to all the children in the orphanages that visited our home. We are guessing about 700 blankets are needed. We plan on trying to buy in bulk or ask some be donated.
If anyone would like to help with these projects or would like to go with us to Ukraine, please contact: Hollieeholmes@aol.com

They are back in Ukraine

We had a wonderful month. Full of fun and blessings. The children are back in their various orphanages. We hope to see them one day again.
Thank you to all that helped in any way. We could not have done it without you. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun!
We hope to visit the children where they live. If you would like to join us contact the host.
Thank you all for your loving hearts towards these precious children.

I heard someone say they had not been invited. All are invited and encouraged to come and visit on host home days. We would love for you to spend time with the children. They are great and amazing.
Sorry, we have no time to call you. Call us. There are 15 of us living in 1 home.
You are invited. We suggest you call before you come to make sure the schedule has not changed. Thank you.
