A Look Back at 2020 as We Move into our 15th Year of Ministry

“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that’s good.” —Elizabeth Edwards

​Hello UOO supporters,
 
We hope that 2021 has been kicked off to a good start, with health, provision, and a covering of inner joy! As we enter into our 15th year of ministering to the marginalized in Ukraine, we are humbled and stand in awe of how God has carried us through the years! Both Clarke and I know, feel, and see that it is only in His power and will that we have made it this far! We continue to remind ourselves to stay in a posture of leaning into our Lord to discern and follow His will for our work, which we are so privileged to do in Ukraine.
 
With all honesty, we have both questioned “how much longer can we continue our work in Ukraine?” We thank God that He has provided for Ukraine Orphan Outreach and remind ourselves of how blessed we have been to be a part of something so much bigger than we could have ever imagined. 
 
As we reflect back and look forward, we wanted to share a piece of our hearts and how we have been changed because of working with the least in Ukraine.
