Mission Possible:
Bringing help and the Gospel
To the people in Eastern Europe

At the end of the summer, social services asked us to take in 16-year-old Slava who was wandering around a low-income dormitory building asking the residents for food.  Slava lived with his mother in one room of the dorm, but she had been on a drinking binge somewhere for a month. The boy was sick, hungry, and despairing when he arrived at our shelter home. 

It was a somewhat unusual situation that led us to meet Sveta about a year ago. We were building a house, and one day when we arrived at the construction site, we could see it had been vandalized. The culprits turned out to be the neighbors’ son and his friends. 

“The patients tell us that our coming is like a breath of fresh air for them. On our most recent visit we handed out goody bags and had two violinists with us. One of the musicians was nine-year-old Nastya who wants to bring joy to people with her talent!
