| THANK YOU ANTONINA TSKHAY Telling the whole story of what Tonia has done for us would fill three or more books. She is a real go-getter. Getting things done fast and well is Tonia's trademark. Surely her prayers of faith are a strong part of that effectiveness. She is going on to bigger things but if she should ever want to return we will be more than happy to welcome her back. |
| ANATOLI NOVITSKY- REHAB MINISTRY Once he was freed of his own dependencies Tolik quickly showed the responsibility and leadership needed for helping other men out of that quagmire. He was successful in his first rehabilitation center directorship role in spite of having to do it under financial hardships and unfulfilled promises. God has called him into leadership of the ELIJAH PROJECT Men's Rehab Center now forming for River of Joy-Crimea. Just as soon as we have established faithful financial sponsors for this he will begin. Tolik is the husband of Alina Novitsky, Director of River of Joy, Crimea. |

THE MARTIN FAMILY - BRINGING FRESH IDEAS AND ENERGY
They are involved otherwise too. We will have more news about that for you soon.
Though only God can see the future, it looks like there is much more to come. Please be
in prayer for this couple as they have taken in a Ukrainian orphan and the enemy seems
to be targeting them. We are thankful for them and will be praying for them. We owe this
website to their largess. Up until they saw the need and showed us how we thought a
website was far away in the future for us. Now we are getting compliments on it. Thank
You Vernon and Judy Martin!

| Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:27 |
David's number one lady, the biggest key player in our ministry and its biggest supporter
is Ruth Marion Hallowell. 'Mother Ruth' to many, especially David and his three sisters,
Elizabeth, Lydia and Mary, David's Mother is R.M. Hallowell to whom you may send
donations in Lancaster California for the work in Crimea Ukraine. Ruth lead David to the
Lord at age 5, kneeling at the divan in the family living room. She watched over his early
discipleship and enrolled him in a course of Bible Memory that instilled much Biblical
wisdom in an adventuresome boy. Ruth was a public school teacher teaching grades 1
through 8 in a small country school, then in bigger schools, teaching reading to children
other teachers simply could not teach. She started a children's Bible study that later grew
into a church in the mountains of California. She eventually was ordained in Fort Worth
Texas. She is past president of North Central Texas regional Women's Aglow . She is
back in California with her great grandchildren, 85 years old, still drives a car, labors in
intercessory prayer and teaches as often as she can. Now she has been to Crimea.

them. We have powerful,
faithful & wonderful
intercessory prayer
partners. Thank you for
behalf. And when you
come to Crimea you are

David Miles is a friend.
God gave David Miles a
love for Jesus, and for
the work of River of Joy
Foundation. He is our
self appointed roving
Ambassador! OK its a
fancy title for an old
biker! But old bikers are
rare. Just like a biker
gets in your face, brother
Miles is up front about
Jesus. His bold witness
for the Master makes
him a tough but kindly
Ambassador in leathers.
If he tells you to repent
don't hesitate. Just do it.
