Saturday



A City Bus like what we take, Papa & Andri, Katya & Pasha





Natasha & Mama on the way to the show in the bus, Our kids doing Karoke!
Today we went with all the older children to a show at a large Baptist
Church. They went through the Bible from Creation to the Cross. After we returned home they fed us a nummy soup, sandwich, pickles, tea and dessert. It was so nice. And we had the meal alone as adults with our friends while our boys declined as they were worried it was only soup. It was great. See photos of kids with their friends on the Special Times with our Kids page.

There are so many bright, and wonderful children here. Many close friends to our children.
We had a blessed day! We look forward to Sunrise Service, a service with our children, and another service where Jonathan hopes to play chess with a man who doesn't speak English! We have a lot of time on our hands so might as well spend it in His house. Otherwise we are crashing, watching TV, doing school, or playing computer games!

We miss home and are learning alot. We had a nice celebration dinner with our friends tonight celebrating them getting a court date, and hope we can do it again soon for our date announcement.
Happy Easter! In Christ! Alesia & Chris

Pray for those who persecute you....

Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."

Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....

Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.


2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.

We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
