New Thing 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...

“благословенное” — “Blagoslovennoyeh”

Translation: BLESSED

Igor is grateful. His sad life story has turned a page.

“I lost my home, and I had nowhere to live,” he says.

But at the “League of Good” shelter in Minsk, he has a bed, and a brand-new mattress — thanks to compassionate friends of New Thing.

“Response of the Heart has helped me with housing, food, and work,” Igor says.

“This is a blessed place for me!”

(That’s Tanya’s good cooking he’s enjoying. You met her last week.)

Generous giving to New Thing empowers our “Response of the Heart” team to help people in need all over Belarus.

Director Dmitri (left) is devoting his life to operating a number of “League of Good” shelters in the city.

It’s an honor for our “Response of the Heart” team to serve alongside him.

Most recent delivery: everything from toilet paper to underwear...

Basics we take for granted — but for someone who has nothing: treasure.

As always, every ounce of aid is scrupulously accounted for, from arrival at the Belarusian border all the way through delivery to someone in need.

Thanks for journeying with New Thing!

More adventures to come!

Much love,

Doug Brendel
