Curious about where NewThing.net came from?

 

A report from Doug Brendel to all who support or follow our New Thing ministry in Belarus...

 

Thanks to friends like you, itÕs

A summer of smiles!

 

Summers in Belarus are all too brief — but our ÒResponse of the HeartÓ team members havenÕt been soaking up the rays.

TheyÕve been hard at work, receiving major shipments of donated goods from other countries, to share with people in need all over the nation.

 

For the first time ever, we received a load of medical goods.

 

Rugged shoes are absolutely essential for harsh Belarusian winters.

Most foster families couldnÕt possibly afford such great footwear.

 

Furniture is also often out of reach financially.

But thanks to New ThingÕs faithful supporters, our ÒResponse of the HeartÓ team was able to provide!

 

Meanwhile, at our soup kitchen for the homeless of Minsk, there was a special summer treat...

Hazelnut coffee! Heavenly!

 

Hope youÕre having a great summer yourself!

Thanks for journeying with us!

Much love,

Doug Brendel
