Drug & Rehab Ministry
Ivan and his band of brothers....
actually they say he is dad, and he calls me "mom" so I guess these are my grandsons?!
Drug usage and HIV aids is a HUGE problem in Ukraine with little education, or prevention or assistance available. A friend of ours is a recovered and transformed man who knows the healing, delivering power of God. Ivan has a farm on some acerage in eastern Ukraine about 4 hours southeast of Kiev in Kremanchuk. God has given him a great heart and hope for the almost 600 men and women who have been through his program. He is a very high retention rate of over 100 recovered lives, many reunited with their families, working in full time jobs, or in the ministry. Men and women fully recovered from the ravages of drugs and alcohol. Praise God! Ivan's program is a Spirit, Soul and body workout and he keeps everyone busy with bible school, regular studies, working in the fields, the farm, the smoke house,or caring for the animals. He has a wonderful wife and 5 children and this year he hopes to build another building on the land to house his family and the staff's families with meeting rooms on the first floor. Please pray for Ivan for wisdom, strength and increase.
