Visiting and Feeding the Children of Berdichevsk Orphanage  

Matthew: 34-40  "Then the King will speak to those on his right. He will say, 'My Father has blessed you. Come and take what is yours. It is the kingdom prepared for you since the world was created.  I was hungry. And you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you gave them to me. I was sick and you took care of me. I was in prison and you came to visit me. "Then the people who have done what is right will answer him.’ Lord,' they will ask, 'when did we see you hungry and feed you? When did we see you thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you as a stranger and invite you in? When did we see you needing clothes and give them to you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’  "The King will reply, 'What I'm about to tell you is true. Anything you did for one of the least important of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

The Road to Life Medical Charity and Life House Ministries have partnered together once again. This time the project is to continue the feeding and outreach program to over 200 mentally deficient orphans in a little village of Ukraine known as Grishkivtsyi  in the Zhitomir region.

The project first began in 2003, and by the grace of God has continued faithfully each month to provide food. As funds were available, shoes and much needed building projects and repairs were completed by the local churches with funds supplied by Life House Ministries. Working with Gnatuk Viktor Aleksandrovich, the Director of the Orphanage and area churches, the projects have included remodeling bathrooms, purchasing boilers, washing machine, kitchen equipment, water purification equipment, sports equipment, material, and 12 sewing machines. The area churches and Life House Ministry also provided a local Pastor to hold Sunday school for the children, preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In 2009 Life House Ministries provided funds to purchase 14,000 pounds of vegetables, sugar, oil, pasta, soap and shampoo. Because of the successful pig farm 3000 pounds of pork was taken to the orphanage. God has provided faithful partners here in America so that this outreach can continue feeding these precious children while also giving hope to the staff and director. 

The Road to Life Medical Charity, founded by Dr. Slava Velychko along with his wife Natasha, has graciously agreed to partner with Life House Ministries to continue this work. They will provide the in country logistics for the purchase of food, oversee the distribution and make suggestions as to needed annual projects.

As we move into our 8th year, we thank God for His mercy and for providing a way to care for these precious children of the Berdichevsk Orphanage.

HUMANITARIAN    HELP    WITH    A GERMAN   ACCENT

 

The names of Herbert Kräuter  and Daina Freimane-Kräuter from Germany are well known to the people of  the town of  Boryspyl  in Ukraine, and they are associated with the word ""patron". They have rendered  much help  to the Central  district hospital and  public organizations of the town  several times for the last few years. The  20th of July was a joyful day for the hospital staff  as they got  an ultrasound machine from their old friend and patron Herbert Kräuter.  Though the machine is not new, it is still  in  a good condition and  quite reliable. This is especially important now  as  the hospital isn't provided with the state  finances  to buy the badly needed medical equipment.

A lot of special guests came  to the hospital that day, among them Valeriy Dmitriyev, the mayor deputy, Ruslan Bernadskiy, the  head deputy of  Boryspyl  district state administration, and Volodymyr Bondar, an adviser to the head of  the district state administration and many others. They came to congratulate the hospital staff on the important occasion and promised to encourage the collaboration with foreign charities.

Vyacheslav Yevtushenko, the chief doctor of Boryspyl central district hospital, introduced Gregory Pashchenko, a translator and a good friend of Mr. Herbert Kräuter  , who attracted the patron's attention to the urgent problems of  the native town, as well as Vyacheslav Velychko, a doctor  of the hospital and the president of the "Road to Life" medical charity who helped  a lot in the difficult process of the custom house  procedures.

"A lot of hospitals and public organizations of foreign countries function at the expense of philanthropists.  The Ukrainian doctors  still have to look for some humanitarian aid from abroad, although we have a lot of people here who could help  hospitals" said  Vyacheslav Yevtushenko.
