I was first drawn to Ukraine in 1994 when a need for clothing was brought to my attention. Having the resources to provide for this need, we started to send clothing and shoes through a missionary friend to the country of Ukraine, to the small coal mining village of Dzerzhinsk. It seemed quite insignificant, but little did I know how God was preparing the foundation to launch a ministry that would eventually reach thousands.
