A good friend of ours, who adopted two kids from Odessa, put it best when she said, “… they knew our kids and loved our kids before we did. And, we love them for it.”
We are amazed by the work God has done and will continue to do, through the ministries of each of the people listed below. We respect them, love them and count them as friends. We would love to tell you about their work and go on about their stories but, we thought we should let their respective websites/bloggs do the talking instead.
Lela Steel
“Babushka” Lela already lived one full and complete life in Florida. Then, God showed her the desperate needs of children in Odessa and at age 71, a her new “life’s work” began. http://www.harvestinternational.org/HeritageHouse/ You may email Lela at lelasteel@normaplus.com
Paul and Tanya Becker
By occupation, Paul is a dentist and Tanya is President of a theological seminary. Boy, is that only scratching the surface. http://www.heritagehouse.blogspot.com/
Michelle
Michelle’s role is “volunteer” at the orphanage. The title itself is so basic yet, Michelle fills it with so much love and meaning. Every child needs a friend like Michelle. You may contact Michelle at michellevonjoy@juno.net
Julia and Sergey Yarovoy
On my first trip to Odessa, I knew Julia only as a very skilled translator and her husband, Sergey as a nice guy who polished cars. During my second trip, I learned a lot more! http://www.youthofukraine.org/ click on the "Sergey and Julia" tab. You may contact them at jbaskova@yahoo.com
