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...

The perfect ending for a sunny season:

WATERMELON for EVERYONE!

After so many years of sharing aid with people in need, our “Response of the Heart” team is well known all across Belarus.

If you have something of value to donate, this is the place.

This week, it was a summertime delicacy: watermelon!

The bounty was shared with those most in need: families of children with disabilities, the elderly, officially designated large families, and others.

This delivery also included carrots and potatoes — but what kid wants veggies when there’s watermelon!

Apparently it’s essential to find exactly the right one.

God bless all who give so generously to keep our “Response of the Heart” serving.

Thanks for journeying with New Thing!

More adventures to come!

Much love,

P.S. Update on our campaign to provide sleeper-sofas for orphans at the Children’s Village in Kobryn:

16 households have generously given a total of $2305.45.

When we reach $7000, a Matching Challenge will double every gift given.

If you’d like to help, the orphans will be grateful! You can donate online here.
