VRUK supports Ukraine orphanage

Vineyard Records UK has been supporting work in Ukraine for over 4 years. This work is two-fold in its approach:
1. We help with leadership training for church pastors and worship leaders.
2. We support both financially and with man-power an outreach programme with an orphanage just outside Odessa.
I recently had the privilege of leading a 10-strong team to spend a week at the Andreevo orphanage where we embarked on a programme of drama, sports, arts & crafts and general craziness! This is the third such trip to the orphanage and we are beginning to see the fruits of our labours both in a spiritual sense and also in seeing improvements to the orphanage itself. The director likened our visits to a big drop of water falling onto a stone and each time it fell it made a deeper hole. I think he was trying to say that we are making a significant long-term difference!!
Through the VRUK network with Vineyard churches around the UK and also in Ukraine itself, there are now 3 UK Vineyard churches involved in orphanage outreach and 2 Ukrainian Vineyard churches. As time goes on we hope to be able to resource further orphanages in the Ukraine by expanding the number of churches involved with the ultimate aim of bringing the love of God into the lives of many children who have very little hope.
