Food Deliveries

While the world is shut down I have still been able to send a gift to Sergey in Kyrgyzstan for the Orlovka Orphanage. Each year they usually use this to take the kids on a day trip to the beach at Lake Issy-kul. However this year with the Covid-19 pandemic, just like everywhere, people aren't working in Kyrgyzstan and are having a hard time. In Kyrgyzstan it's harder because there is no such thing as employment insurance or medicare like we have in Canada. Instead of a beach trip Sergey was able to buy much needed groceries not only for the orphanage but also for some families in need.

Sergey recently delivered these groceries and told me of a woman in his apartment building who is not working because of the pandemic. She has had cancer surgery and chemo therapy treatment which left her unable to buy food or medicine. He mentioned that she did not love them and never spoke to her neighbours, not even saying hello. The neighbours heard of her situation and chipped in financially to help her. Sergey also took groceries to her and when she saw him with bags of food she started crying and hugging him. He had a good conversation with her and was able to tell her about the Gospel and pray for her. It's amazing the doors that have been opened because of love with a few bags of groceries.

As for me going to Ukraine I would love to be there now but like everyone else I am still waiting for the world open up and travel to resume. Thankfully it looks like the pandemic is slowing down but there's a way to go yet.

If you would like to help me to enable more grocery deliveries during the pandemic or to help with my future trip to Ukraine you can give a gift on line by clicking the "donate now" button at the right side of the blog. You can also click the "ways to donate" tab at the top of the page for other giving options.

Please keep me in your prayers and stay safe. Thank you for seeing my heart...я любюо вас!!

This is Sergey about to make deliveries.  It always amazes me how much farther our Canadian dollar can go there.

At Orlovka Orphanage.  I love how even the baby has his thumb up.
