We have sweet talked the problem and the kids are still dying.

I am tired of pampering grown up kids while the children die in the streets and are beaten by drunken cowards in their own homes.  The time of reckoning is coming.  The judgement of God is quaranteed.  Thank you Father.

Governents are getting richer and less concerned.  President Putin is busy with his own pocket book while his fellow children are pushed out of orphanage, relegated to dark streets, gathered in jails and graduated to prisons.   This man and this government need to answer to the higher power of Jesus Christ now...before it is the final hour.

Our own Americans buy more technological toys and tools and fix up , paint up, and shore up their own temples...and throw a few crumbs to helpless children who are scared and lost.

Who do we think we are?

Do we think we can escape the judgment seat of God?  Do we think we sit in our beutiful church homes in the U.S., the Ukraine and Russia and call this worship? 

I am tired of it.  We beg people for help, for funds, for action...and still the kids suffer.

Cowards and thieves will end up in the fires of Hell suffering the same they gave out.  Cowards who drink away problems and beat those who cannot defend themselves will surely feel the fire of God.

Greedy politicians who should have made the children first priortiy will surely be stripped bare and cast into the outer darkness themselves.

Thanks be to God for the few who hear the heart of the Father and see the suffering of the kids in crisis.  They will spend eternity with the children in the Kingdom of Heaven. 

It has been awhile since I updated here.  So much has been happening.  Though the doors closed somewhat in Kherson they opened wide in Odessa.  We have now been blessed with two partners on site, Michelle Maly and Lisa Gootee.  We are very excited to have them become a part of our family.  They are doing so much for the Kingdom of God.

We have also been seeing doors open in Kiev, Ukraine and St. Petersburg, Russia.   My good friend Peter Billingham has resigned his ministry in Bromsgrove, England and is now in charge of expanding Christian radio into Ukraine and Russia with a media corporation.  They have just purchased a beautiful building in Kiev and plan to bring on about 40 staff. 

Peter still has a heart for the street kids.  He is the guy that hiked the Himalyans and raised $25,000 for the kids.   His hope is to broadcast some interviews and highlight ministries working with kids.  In March Peter and I are hoping to travel to Moscow and St. Petersburg to scope out his and my ministries.

Shepherd's Purse has been in touch with Project Hope in St. Petersburg for a few years now but never really connected well.  See their video on the home page.  Esther McCaulley from Marion, Indiana is the founder and has recently retired turning over the ministry to her friends in country.   Vera is the new director and we have been getting to know her.   I am meeting with Marion and Bob in a couple of weeks and we are excited by future prospects.

The good news is that a Swiss Christian businessman  has just purchased a very nice building in St. Petersburg and turned it into a Christian orphanage.  He has also donated space to Project Hope's street kid ministry.  Now we can support both this orphanage and and the street kid ministry.  Pray about these meetings that if God wants to knit our hearts and ministries it will be very clear.

More good news is that my youngest daughter Megin is our new accountant.  She and Josh, our son-in-law, live in the Atlanta area.  Josh is becoming our video DVD promotions guy.   They have both traveled with us to Ukraine and both are now board members.

We have also had someone just contact us about becoming our projects manager.  

We also are connected to Skype with video so if you want to talk face-to-face.  This is a wonderful medium and allows us to keep in contact with our partners like Pat Joy in Kiev area and Michelle and Lisa in Odessa -- for free!

Although I am grieving not going to Ukraine for Christmas this year...I am excited for a sabbatical to work on our book about the street kids.  Please pray for our ministry and if you have been a distant observer for a few years why not become a financial supporter?   For almost five years I have donated 30-40 hours per week with no paycheck from Shepherd's Purse.  I only do it because I have the Father's heart for the kids.  Please join us in this journey.
