Two fantastic Chevys in first class shape.
    First look at that single post '55. She is a down to the nuts and bolts restoration with a screaming 355 V8 and TONS
    of chrome and nostalgia. Then for cool it is going to be hard to beat this rare triple black '68 Camaro with only
    54,000 original miles, wooden steering wheel, 350 engine and lots more extras. Go look at these car first on Martin
    Auto Sales site then go see them in person. >>>>>>> HURRY! RARE, COOL & EXCITING COLLECTORS CARS
    LIKE MARTIN AUTO SALES OFFERS at VERY REASONABLE PRICES DON'T STAY AROUND LONG. Collectibles
    like these top quality cars have a way of going up in value even when other investments lose.

Ukraine Government proclaimed 2008
'THE YEAR OF ADOPTION!'
Ukrainians are being encouraged to
begin to adopt but international
country - by - country quotas on the
number of children that may be
adopted from Ukraine have been
drastically reduced. Babies are the
hardest hit. Us quota for toddlers
2008 is said to be just 32 children!
We never base strategy totally on
current pronouncements though. A
popular saying here is, "If you don't
like the weather or the laws wait 5
minutes!" ~ Pray about it please.

==============

There are 145 million orphans
in the world.

I serve God in Eastern Europe where
1.5 million orphans raised in public care
will not live past their 23rd birthday
on average.

These are lovely children, raised in an institution,
without love, taught almost no life skills.

How does it matter? He will never drive.

Elena can't even make wheat porridge.
She will not have to. If she has a child before
she dies, it too will be a ward of the state.

Beautiful Tatiana will believe a man who tells her
there is domestic work abroad. She will be
smuggled off only to lose her life
working as a prostitute, a "Natasha."
Beaten to death.

Misha will die in the sewer, his home.
Igor will murder him for his rubber cement,
sniffing glue. It was precious. It made the
stinking sewer seem a palace,
while it destroyed his brain cell by cell.

Alex will drink enough alcohol to forget his
abandonment then get run over by a car as
he lies drunken in the road.

They are lovely children who will never have
children of their own, never teach their children
to read, to play ball, to say,
"Super califragilistic expialodocious!"

They will not feed the monkeys in the zoo,
or ride a bike,
or have a family picnic in the park,
or play table games with their parents,
or make fudge.

Millions of  lovely fatherless and motherless
children will die young.

If you are an older adult thinking about making a
family life. Let the danger and cost of reversing a
vasectomy and taking a chance that you may yet
have normal and healthy progeny when you are
past child bearing age be weighed against the
millions of lovely children who need you
just as you are.

Everyone is special. Your genes are not
as important as your spiritual DNA.
Adopt an orphan.
That is unconditional love.

For you have not received the spirit
of bondage again to fear, but you have
received the Spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry Abba, Father.

MISSIONARY TO EASTERN EUROPE
needs YOUR help now!
We need your help now as never before. Please
get involved, pray, give and/or raise money now.
We are 7K in debt in Crimea and another 3K in
debt in the USA. This is serious stuff. We went into
debt last time like this five years ago and we were
only just climbing out of it when we set out for the
USA to reawaken supporters. What happened?
The strategy backfired!
UKRAINE HAS AN EVEN MORE SEVERE
FINANCIAL CRISIS THAN THE WEST.  AT
THIS TIME OUR HUMANITARIAN AID IS
INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO GET IN AND
DISTRIBUTE...$$$$$ MORE NEEDED!

F O R   U S
When God sovereignly called me Here
after Ukraine declared independence, it
was during the height of the "covering"
teaching. Jesus taught an altogether
different kind of Church order however.
Exercising authority over one another in a
top down organizational structure is not
true New Testament Christianity as
Jesus taught it.

Pastors" online.
Friendships made at Camp don't always last a lifetime but the
experience of a strong daily fellowship with God and the spiritual
encouragement that is sown into these village boys lives is often life
changing and significant for their and their family's and village's
future.  Please pray these boys who formed friendships at River of Joy
Camp 2008 will grow up to be fine men of God.
Welcome! Make yourself at home!

What the Lord Is Saying Today

December 9, 2008.  What is ahead for
your nation is a serious thing. So many
have gone astray from My Word and the
morals I have set forth. Many are out for
themselves and only themselves. This
is causing the moral fabric of society to
decay. We are all connected in ways that
are beyond knowledge. Each individual’
s actions affect the life of others next
door and even all over your nation. I
have been calling for repentance
through many, for years. My Mercy is
fresh every morning, but I cannot allow
people to continue hurting each other. I
am calling on you to pray. You are a
remnant that hears and obeys My Words.
2 Chronicles 7:14-15 “and My people
who are called by My name humble
themselves and pray and seek My face
and turn from their wicked ways, then I
will hear from heaven, will forgive their
sin and will heal their land. Now My eyes
will be open and My ears attentive to the
prayer offered in this place.”
