This week finds us in a different place, so different from Krygzstan, but in many ways the people are the same...kind, gracious and open. We have been training at the ILDC headquarters in Kiev, Ukraine. ILDC, the International Leadership and Develpment Center was born out of the work of LAMb International and its initiative is to impact the system of child welfare in this country.
Today, we started a two day training called, "Wounded Children, Healing Homes:How Traumatized Children Impact Adoptive and Foster Families." It is adapted from our book by the same title. We find that foster parents and adoptive parents struggle with many of the same issues around the world and it is our hope, that in one small way, we will encourage them and help them.
Today was almost too much fun...thought we would share a glimpse of the day...please click on this link to see the fun!

Church leaders and laymen are gathering from all over the country are stepping up to their responsibility to James 1:27..taking care of orphans....It will be an awesome event.
The journey continues...home in 10 days...eager to see family and friends
