| And He showed me a pure river of the Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Rev 22:1 |
| Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever! |
WELCOME RIVER RAFTERS
A PARENT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO MISS!
River of Joy is all about getting abandoned and institutionalized children into families, and getting
good parents ready to raise orphan children who need parents such as them. We are building a new
family introduction center for orphan children, making land acquisitions, doing children's camps for
poor village kids and distributing aid to the children of central Crimea. Thats not all. We are helping to
rebuild abandoned village kindergartens, providing them with toys, furniture and supplies. We just got
doors and windows on our new building and energetic young helpers at work on site. There is lots
more work ahead but these accomplishments feel good.
Welcome. Make yourself at home! Come back for fresh news often.
This video is not one we made ourselves but it tells an important story about why we work at this.

River of Joy, Crimea is all about making a better future
for children AT RISK in the new generation:
River of Joy grew from our desire to make a more stable future for children who have little
chance of survival, the abandoned children, street children, institutionalized children, and
children in poor, partially deserted villages of Crimea. Having been alarmed by a high suicide
rate, a vulnerability to child traffickers and a shocking death rate, we are endeavouring to put
the children in fine Christian homes where they can grow up normally and make a future for
themselves, for their villages, and for their country in the great kingdom of God.

| Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. James 1:27 |
The greater (hearing and obeying God), always includes the lesser (my needs being met). ~ Arthur Burt |
| Might you be my papa? |
Where did you get those nice parents?
Oh! You mean God gave them to you?
That is just like God isn't it?.
