Kiev, Ukraine Mission (view pictures here) (Operation Christmas Child) Contacts: David & Cherese Younts Beginning in February 2009, we partnered with New Life church, a Samaritan's Purse distribution center in the Ukraine, to distribute Operation Christmas Child gifts to orphanages, schools, etc. These boxes also include an age appropriate Bible study series which leads to an opportunity to receive Jesus Christ and follow up discipleship training. The New Life Church's pastor, Anatoliy Kalyuzhnyy is the head of the Council of Independent Evangelical Churches and the Co-Director for Operation Christmas Child Ministry in the Ukraine. These trips will be one week in length. download Ukraine brochure here Operation Christmas Child (learn more here) Directors: Victor & Candy Neale Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the good news of God's love.
