"I
was
looking
for
someone
to
understand
me,
to
love
sincerely...I
received
all
this!"
-‐Natasha,
22
As
you
heard
Natasha
share
in
the
video,
the
orphanage
took
care
of
her
basic
needs
-‐-‐
food,
shelter,
clothing.
But
she
longed
for
more.
Belonging.
Commitment.
Love
from
a
family.
Hope
for
a
future.
Because
we
believe
kids
like
Natasha
need
much
more
than
their
'basic
needs',
the
staff
of Lifesong
Ukraine
are
building
relationships
inside
the
orphanage
walls
to
create
what
we
call
Constant
Christian
Presence
(CCP).
The
CCP
provides
mentorship
and
discipleship,
improved
living
conditions,
one-‐on-‐
one
counseling,
group
Bible
study,
job
skills
training,
music
lessons,
and
computer
skills
training.
Instead
of
the
common
trend
of
orphans
creating
orphans,
Natasha,
because
of
her
support
through
CCP,
now
desires
to
help
other children who
are
in
orphanages
to
give
them
the
support
she
received.
Orphans
mentoring
orphans...a
cycle
worth
striving
for!
Child
Sponsorship
We
are
excited
to
announce
that
Lifesong
Ukraine
has
recently
launched
a
new
child
sponsorship
program.
If
you
are
interested
in
helping
build
Constant
Christian
Presence
by
sponsoring
a
child
like
Natasha,
please
contact
us.
"...He
will
give
a
crown
of
beauty
for
ashes, a
joyous
blessing
instead
of
mourning, festive
praise
instead
of
despair. In
their
righteousness,
they
will
be
like
great
oaks that
the Lord has
planted
for
his
own
glory."
Isaiah
61:3

So glad that you are partnering, Our child protection laws mean that the child sponsorship model isn’t used, so it looks a little different. so as they continue to grow up together.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Rachel for advocating for Natasha and Lifesong Ukraine!
