Mira is 13 years old.
After her family fell apart, she moved to a tiny village where she knows no one. She helps care for her younger siblings, prays there will be enough food for her family, and quietly hopes for something many children take for granted—a safe place and a friend.
When local ministry workers invited her to summer camp, she smiled.
For children like Mira, camp is more than games and activities. It's a place to belong, to laugh, to be cared for, and to hear that they are deeply loved by God.
Your generosity helps make those moments possible. Support this year's camps at www.mpiconnect.org/donate-to-help-a-child-learn-and-grow

Before the games begin, before the songs are sung, before lifelong memories are made...someone makes sure every child has enough to eat.
For many vulnerable children across Eastern Europe, camp meals are part of what makes attending possible.
Food opens the door to friendship, laughter, and a week where children can simply be kids.
Help make camp possible this summer at mpiconnect.org.

Such a wonderful Sunday morning at Full Gospel Church in St Catharines. We had a great time worshipping together and sharing our hearts for how God is working in Ukraine to impact and transform lives. ❤️

Three weeks. Three countries. Countless reminders that hope grows through faithful relationships.
As we look back on our recent journey through Eastern Europe, it isn't the miles travelled or the schedules we remember most. It's the moments.
The smile of a child who knows they are loved. A prayer shared around a kitchen table. Volunteers faithfully preparing food for families. Pastors and ministry leaders encouraging one another. Friends we've known for years, continuing to serve with unwavering compassion in difficult circumstances.
From Bulgaria to Poland to Ukraine, we witnessed God at work through local churches and ministry partners who are bringing practical help and the hope of Christ to vulnerable families every day.
There were food deliveries, home visits, planning for summer camps, times of worship, and countless conversations that reminded us why relationships matter so deeply in ministry.
We returned home grateful—for our partners, for the families we met, and for each of you whose prayers and generosity make this work possible. Thank you for standing with us as together we strengthen and restore families with the love of Christ.
These photos capture just a few of our favourite moments from a journey we won't soon forget. ❤️

Heading home today. What a great(but tiring) trip serving others with the love of God in Bulgaria, Poland & Ukraine. Happy to be going home but we’ll miss our dear partners and friends in ministry.
