“Every child has a right to play”
Construction tour around the orphanages
in Ukraine 2010-2015

This video will show the beginning of a 5-year tour in 2010. This is a tour around Ukrainian orphanages with the goal to replace old Soviet playgrounds with new modern ones.

Action plan:

Step 1

Find a large investor who would be willing to donate $9.000 – 15.000 into a new playground. We want to become hands of this person so that they could work through us in Ukraine from a distance.

step 2.

Negotiate with the orphanage administration the demolishing of an old and nonfunctional playground (unaccesable for special needs children).

Step 3.

Clean the territory from the old equipment and from the trees that may put the lives of the children in danger.

Step 4.

Lay a special foundation that can live through cold Ukrainian winters. We want the foundation to be nice and even and surrounded by the fence so that kids could play withough nurses controlling them constantly.

Step 5.

Cover the foundation with a rubber layer that will protect children from injuries and will allow them to move independantly. It is especially important for special needs children.

Install playground equipment that will allow children to move around and work out. Special needs children have to have an easy access to these equippment.

This video will show you how the tour was started in summer of 2010. You will see the first 4 steps we have accomplished.

Plans for 2011:

1. To finish the construction of the playground #1 by covering the foundation with the rubber layr and installing the necessery equippment.

We have 50% (which is $3.500) of the neceserry funds to finish the playground #1. We still are looking for another $3.500.

2. To build a playground #2 in the orphanage building where 100% of the children have special needs.

We have 60% of the necessery funds and we still are looking for $4.800.

3. If we have any additional donations and funds we are ready and willing to build 2-3 playgrounds in 2011.

Please, pray for us:

- for the team;

- for all the necessery means for the ministry for the next 5 years so that we could give children a chance to get out of the building walls where they spend every day of their lives;

- for children to use our playgrounds and develop their skills and physical abilities;

- for children to be better developed and more attractive to potential adopting families in Ukraine.

Preaching about the great God in Western Ukraine, where thousands of religious people live who do not know a real relationship with the living God.

The Conference “Great is Our God” was held on 8-9 April 2011 in one of the greatest cities of Ukraine, Lviv, that is situated in the Western Ukraine and has a population of nearly 800,000 people. It is about 70 km. away from the Polish border.


The main religious confessions in the region are the Greek Catholic Church, the Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic Church, and Judaism. That is why it is not surprising to see in the streets and inside the houses statues and pictures of Virgin Mary and other saints, who are considered by the majority of local Christians to be mediators between God and men, which is a reflection of their views of God…


The main speaker at the conference was Nikolay Skopych, Pastor of Almaz Church in Kyiv. Nikolay came here by way of invitation from the pastor of one of Lviv churches. For the previous 3 years, Nikolay has been undertaking such trips all over Ukraine in the framework of the Almaz Church’s Ministry for Dissemination of God’s Word. People of Lviv City and region could hear his sermons on marriage and family and wise usage of money on three occasions during those years and together with the speaker research the Scriptures that have so much to say about these vital topics.

This time, nearly 200 people from Lviv and nearby towns and villages came to hear about our great God and His attributes.

Nikolay taught a lot about the sad situation with knowing God. When dwelling on it, the main stress was made on the thought that “without knowing the grand majestic God it is impossible to burn with love for Him, impossible to truly follow His commandments or carry out fruitful ministry.”

We also studies what the Bible says about importance of getting to know God, learned about the ways to do it and obstacles to be overcome. And, of course, the lion’s share of time was devoted to the study of God’s nature and His attributes. In other words, for a day and a half we searched the Scripture to see what He is like, out Great God.

Closer to the end of the conference we had questions and answer time.

And, the closing accord of the conference was made in prayer and worship time.

After the night on a train, on the next morning Nikolay preached at his church in Kyiv….
