We met a young lady in the last few months who is a true gem. She's serving God well here in Siberia, wanting to be a light for Him (and she truly shines!). Her Dad sometimes drinks so much that he becomes violent and dangerous, so she and her mom have come to take refuge at our place a couple of times.... and what a blessing they've been to us!
Our kids love them and they help cook (hence, the cabbage in the picture). We pray together and have hopes that God will free this man (father/husband) from His addiction. This is a dark place to live, but God is bigger and stronger than that darkness. And he offers hope.
This young lady says that she believes our family is here to offer hope and to show an example of a healthy, loving family to many broken families.
It's such a gift to meet people like these ladies and to see them loving God with all of their hearts. They are blessings in our lives!

It is so neat to see how God works...you are both blessings to each other. PTL! Baba
Praise God and thanks for being that light and seeing the lights of others in your community. I pray God will protect and continue to help you in your wonderful ministry. PS Love Ella and the cabbage pic, too. Love, Mama Irene
