Pray for Nazar...

When Jenny and I first visited the Pediatric Ward of the hospital in Ivankiv in August of 2007, we met a funny looking boy who had HUGE ears and was almost one year old. The nurse introduced us to Nazar. If you have read this blog before, you will have noticed a small boy on the right top corner of the blog. That is Nazar.

Nazar is an interesting name because it points to the Biblical Nazarite. Where did this young boy get his name? Was his mother a believer?

Nazar has a sad story. He was abandoned at birth and has lived in this room at the hospital for almost two years now. His mother, following giving birth, snuck out of the hospital in the middle of the night and has never been seen since. Nazar has lived his entire life within the confines of these walls.

Please pray for Nazar. Pray that God would find him a home and a family who will love him!

Below are a few photos we took last week while playing with Nazar...

Visiting the Babies...

Today, we visited the baby hospital. We had the opportunity to spend about half an hour with the babies hanging out with them while showing Jenny's parents the baby hospital. This week, there were only 3 babies.

Kristina is the youngest of the bunch. She is 3 months old and was sleeping when we visited...



I did not get the name of this little guy. When we arrived he was sitting and eating something. He seemed to be a happy little guy but he didnt move from the same sitting position the entire time we were there.
