Summer Hosting Program

Donation protected
We have been extremely blessed to have another oportunity to bring our Ukrainian kids back here this summer!! 
If you would like to know more about our first hosting experience or to learn about the whole story please visit my blog livingtobless.wordpress.com

There are many ways you can help support us. First of all your prayers and interest! We felt all your prayers this winter and thank you for continuing to pray for us! We love sharing our story, so please feel free to ask any questions you have about this. Showing your support in these ways are a huge gift to us!!

And of course we are seeking financial support. We praise God for bringing so many willing families to host these kids, but it is extremely financially straining. We are all trusting that God will provide! We can not thank everyone enough for your financial support this winter. We had never felt more loved by God during that time and He used you to speak to us! This really is a way you can be the hands and feet of Jesus to us and these kids!

I would now like to share a quote from Lorina, the girl we hosted this winter. (Grace is my Ukrainian name.)
"I was very surpirsed that Dave and Grace treated me as if I were their daughter. They were trying to be very good parents for me and I am thankful for that!" 

Thank you again for you love and support and desire to show these kids how deeply loved they truly are!! 

Live to Bless!
