“I’m smelling the sweet smell of change in the air!"

Dear folks, friends, and family,
 
To borrowing from one of our most dedicated mentors Nastya,  “I smell change coming!"

Tomorrow is a big day for our YouthReach International orphan outreach ministry in the former Soviet Union. It’s a particularly big day for our team operating in Simferopol. 

Tony Morrow, Rob Browne, and the staff at YRI are preparing to submit grant proposals to acquire the funds we so desperately need to elevate our ministry to the next level. 

Last week, I was asked  by Tony and & Rob to “dream big” and gather ideas for growing our programs in Simferopol. I can’t say a whole lot right now about the details. Just know that we received some excellent feedback from our team mates/mentors on ways to bolster the work going being done with orphans in that city and begin to fill critical gaps in our ministry.

Please be prayerful over the next several weeks regarding this giant step forward. We need wisdom and guidance from the Holy Spirit. Please be praying that the submissions say the right things, that the right eyes review it, and the right hands stamp the approvals. 

Peace and grace,
Joel
