I don't think it's a secret, but the need for love in the life of orphans is so great, that it motivates some of us to return again and again. As I study my Russian language, it isn't just a labor of love for the language. It's a labor of love to communicate my compassion for the kids.
The kids are so starved for someone who really cares about them that they keep in touch with their American friends, sometimes for years, after they leave the orphanage.
So, the secret is out. Love is what makes us go round the world.

Another trip planned for June 2009
Again we look to take 14 people to Pokrov, Russia. More to come, but we'll leave on May 30th and return on June 7th.
I will get a picture of the team up shortly.
On a sad note, one of the kids that left the orphanage for college in September committed suicide in November. It was very sad news for all of us. She was not able to participate in Children's HopeChest programs at college because we do not do ministry in the region where she went to college. We do not know why she committed suicide.
