Right in time help

I have known doctor Olga Alexevna Chernaya for many years. I have known her since the time when nobody called her by her patronymics, in high school she was called Olya. We had something in common that is the will to serve and help our class and school mates through active membership in Komsomol organization. Now it is not fashionable to talk about such things because in a contemporary society the active “political” position usually leads to fulfillment of one's material desires. At that time that was the way how we could genuinely fulfill our altruistic desire to help others.

Understanding and interpretation of Christmas

In Ukraine every person has his own understanding and interpretation of Christmas. Some get joy out of the meeting with godparents of their children, some learn and sing Christmas carols (which usually do not contain any words about the birth of the Savior) to get money and candy for singing, some think that that day they have to have a certain number of special dishes on the table. Christmas eve is considered to be almost the only time when one can peek into the future, that is why it it popular to forecast the future that day. Unfortunately not many people know about the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas party for kids

On January, 2 the Life Care Center held a Christmas party for kids.
Graduates and students of the School for Moms came to the party with their children.

Kids and their parents heard and with the help of flannel-graph saw the Christmas story; they sang children’s songs, played, answered questions about the birth of the Savior and discussed what could be the present for Jesus on his birthday.

Christmas holidays

New Year and Christmas holidays have already gone. On these days we believe in wonders, on these days we want a Wonder.
On December, 26 graduates and students of the School for Moms had a Christmas party in specially decorated Sanctuary of a Presbyterian Church of Izmail, Ukraine.

Burning candles created the mysterious Christmas atmosphere.

Frustration, anger, and an occasional tantrum are inevitable for all two-year-olds

On the 7th of December a support group for moms of children from one year to two was held at the Life Care Center of Izmail Ukraine. This time we have discussed a topic “How to hold the line on tantrums”

Having guests over from Columbia

Within the last 4 years Izmail Life Care Center is privileged to have guests over from Columbia, South Carolina,USA. They come only for one day which we remember for a long time. This past September we were glad to meet two families from Columbia St.Andrew's Presbyterian church again. Dr. Koon found time to see a Ukrainian patient.
At the same time his wife and two of their friends were unpacking a suitcase with baby clothes which will very soon go to future moms – the students of School for Moms which is a part of our ministry. Also we were happy to receive a valuable gift – 10 cribs, which our moms get if they go through all the courses in out school. It is the main reward.

Retreat - unforgettable time together

Retreat - unforgettable time together

On a wonderful September day 8 volunteers of Izmail Life Care Center spent an unforgettable time together on the bank of a picturesque lake not far from Izmail. The retreat lasted two days. During that time we had barbeque, listened and discussed the sermon about the role of the woman in the family and society, laughed a lot.

The second day started with prayer and reflection on the chapter of Max Lucado’s book “Love that is worth giving”. We spent time getting to know each other, answering funny questions. After lunch we trained two more volunteers in the program “You are Unique”. They will join us in our work at schools and counseling people.

Conference "Strong family"

Conference 'Strong family'

"My home is my castle", says the English proverb. "The home is where the heart is". This American saying comes home to our hearts. How do we turn our own home to the place where love, peace and joy reign? Is it a castle where we can find a hiding place behind its walls during life’s storms? What brings peace to our home? How do we preserve and pass family values to the next generation? How do we build homes on firm foundations and have a strong and a happy family?

A conference under the name "Strong family" was held by the Life Care Center together with the Youth City Council on the 11-12th of April. There were various workshops on different topics.

Value of Human Life

Following the tradition, the Izmail Life Care Center started last school year, we hold an assay contest on a pro-life topic “The value of human life” among the seniors of local high schools. The essay-winner is offered to your consideration.

Human life is valuable. You can't fully comprehend it until you face the problems that put life at stake. Today many mothers are asking themselves if they should give birth to a child or not, if the conditions aren't favorable.

New Idea

On the 19th of March, 2009, workers of the Izmail Life Care Center were invited to attend a youth event on sexual education in Odessa. This event was organized by the youth organization "Campus Crusade" in the form of the panel discussion. About 200 students from different universities gathered in the conference hall at the polytechnic school.
Four speakers, "experts", were asked to talk and give answers to the questions: a Christian counselor, a young married couple, who abstained from sex before their marriage and Lika Roman - Miss Ukraine 2007, who is a Christian who believes that abstinence before marriage is important.

All the services at the Izmail Life Care Center are free of charge and confidential.
