Busy Night at the Gift of Life Warehouse

Pioneers from Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Madison, Wisconsin





On Tuesday evening, January 6, 2009, 26 children and 9 adults came to the Thoughts of Faith office in Oregon, Wisconsin to deliver, sort and pack material aid for the Gift of Life program in Ukraine. The visitors are members of the Pioneer program from Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Madison, Wisconsin. After unpacking the cars and trucks, there was a devotion that explained Epiphany and Thoughts of Faith Director, Kermit Traska, explained that this IS Christmas Eve in Ukraine because they follow the Eastern calendar. The energetic youngsters worked for about an hour filling 18 boxes with a variety of childrens clothes. Following the packing all enjoyed refreshments before departing for home with a better understanding of what all is involved in collecting, sorting, packing and shipping material aid to Ukraine. Thank you Our Redeemer Pioneers for all you have done.
