After 4 years of working full as non resident missionaries to Kyrgyzstan, we are taking the plunge. Despite all the times that God has proven to be faithful in our journey, it still took our breath away just a little when Julie turned in her resignation today. Julie will join me full time caring for the hurting helpless and lost in the land that we love. March the 1st we will begin an adventure that God has been priming us for for a long time . Emma will return to her volunteer work, and Bekah will be attending University in Kyrgyzstan. We don't know how it will work, or where the personal support will come from, but we are open to the leading of God, as well as any idea's that you our supporters may have . Together with your support, we WILL take the next big step, and we look forward to new and exciting things that are in store for our family, and our friends in Kyrgyzstan.

A little update since we have been gone

Our last day in Kyrgyzstan we were introduced to an orphanage we had not had contact with before ,.. they came to us because they have heard of the work that LAMb has been doing in Kyrgyzstan, and they are looking for both training , as well as the little extra's that we provide.  There was not a lot we could do at the end of a trip, but we were able to get them started on some winter clothes for the kids as well as a small  Christmas party.  As well they are now on our radar for training .   here you can see the boys  from Karakol orphanage get new winter coats .. next up... the girls  


This mother and her 18 month old work in the dump.  She has breast cancer from the radiation there , and came to Dr Tatyana for help.. Dr Tatyana has asked us to help find a sponsor to help with her treatment .. I will keep you posted as I find out more 

Kids in Orlofka were thrilled to see a food drop as well when Sergey and Anya came out to bring the Vitamins 

Ukana with her helpers will be overseeing the distribution of the vitamins 


Dr Anara from the baby hospital was equally as thrilled to receive vitamins that are specially formulated for nursing mothers  


Vanera's orphanare was happy to be part of a special day for about 600 in the capital.  Children from  orphanages as well as disabled and children whose parents are in prison, all attended a party to remember thanks to Kyle and his friends .  
Anadyr was fortunate that sponsorship money was available for his emergency surgery ,  Although he personally is not sponsored, a portion of the sponsorship money goes for the care of the entire orphanage . 


As soon as the need was known Sergey and Anya were at the hospital to make sure his operation was paid, then were at his bed side to assure him that he was not alone 


You may recognise this wonderful lady.  She is the director of one of the larger orphanages.  She will personally guarantee ,  receive and oversee the distribution of vitamins here.. she understands the importance of them , and extends her appreciation on behalf of all her kids to everyone who had a part in this blessing .
