is your love in action, inside
the former Soviet Union
Curious about where NewThing.net came from?
A report from Doug Brendel to all who support or follow New Thing in Belarus...
Your love lasts!
Compassion is
CONTAGIOUS
Longtime followers of New Thing will remember Liudmila Mikhaelevna, who directed the Zhodino shelter for abused and abandoned children for nearly a decade.
She retired a couple years ago — but didnÕt sit still long. She began working in a community center across the street from the shelter.
Inspired by the Òsoup kitchenÓ operated every day by our ÒResponse of the HeartÓ team in Minsk, she and a few friends began collecting food and feeding the homeless of Zhodino.
They donÕt have a cafeteria-style room available, so they welcome the needy into their offices!
Liudmila Mikhaelevna sent these photos ... with her love.
To all who give to New Thing ... thank you for inspiring good things even beyond the reach of your own generosity!
Thanks for journeying with us!
Much love,
Doug Brendel
