Shipment to Ukraine Brings Beautiful Bikes for Orphans

Alla of Bible Orphan Ministry in Ukraine sent back photos and a letter after a recent shipment from Orphan Grain Train contained bicycles for the children in the Nova Borova orphanage in Ukraine.
“You had to see that immense joy!!!
As soon as the girls in Nova Borova saw the bikes—the whole place filled with chatter, laughter, and joyful shouts!
They ran up to the bikes, touched them, examined every detail, and couldn’t wait to try them out… One emotion followed another—surprise, excitement, laughter, and incredible joy!
For the first time in their lives, the girls were holding a bike!!! Just imagine—what is a normal part of childhood for many young ladies became a real event for them.
Sparkling eyes. Smiles from ear to ear. Laughter. Excitement. Some were already trying to ride, some were cheering on a friend, and some just couldn’t tear themselves away from their bikes.
It seemed as though happiness filled the entire courtyard today!
We watched them and couldn’t stop smiling ourselves. It’s in moments like these that you realize: sometimes it takes very little to bring someone immense joy.
We wholeheartedly thank Orphan Grain Train for the bicycles! Your support became a huge dream come true!!!
You may have been thousands of miles away from the orphanage but if you had seen those eyes and heard that laughter today, you would have understood just how much happiness you brought to these sweet girls!!! Moments like these are what make serving worthwhile!”
Blessings,
Alla
