Not Just an Ordinary Visit

As many of you know, my work in Ukraine includes working with disabled children and their families. Many of these children are unable to be served at local hair salons because of their disabilities. Many of the moms of these children cannot afford to get their hair done at these places. Most of the mothers are tired and weary and have little time to contribute to their appearance. They often have low self esteem. Bethany and Bethany used their time in Ukraine to serve by cutting and coloring numerous women and children’s hair. They visited homes and hosted many clients in the apartment we were living in. They did a tremendous job. I cannot thank them enough for their willingness to serve.






My mom and Jason also worked hard. They served by helping with painting, cleaning, and finishing of various remodeling projects in the apartment where they stayed, I live while I’m here, and serve as the Aquila offices and meeting grounds for many events. All four of them were a tremendous blessing and an encouragement to me as I continue to serve in the Ukraine for another four months.

I am so excited that you got to see your family & Jason. I know that they had a great time. Both Bethany's have said they now know why they went. Although I am quite sure that they were very excited to see you I know that God did something very special in their lives. Even though I have not had the opportunity to speak to anyone of the them about the trip I know that you all had a great time. Just by the pictures alone I know it was great.

God really had a plan when sending your family and Jason.

May God continue to keep you and bless you - be encourage

Love you
Janie
