Part of an organization that gathers orphans from Ukraine. Slightly creepy, if you ask me.

They really are—and old Tom has a Ukrainian wife who he obviously converted.

“Larissa, Tom’s wife, taught English and linguistics at the university level in Ukraine while also serving as one of the favorite interpreters of English speaking ministries in Ukraine. Her depth of understanding of Scripture, passion for Christ, and love for people immediately set Larissa apart. Raised an atheist behind the Iron Curtain and dramatically apprehended by Christ in 1993, Larissa has moved the ministry of Bridges of Faith forward with her gifts of leadership, hospitality, linguistics, and hands of ministry to children.”

Nothing like a converted zealot. And she was no orphan, nor poor, it would seem.

And they invade…and sounds like they kill, too.

“Joyfully radical, the BOF family lives James 1:27. Armed with lethal love, short-term teams invade Ukrainian orphanages, revolutionizing young lives that were headed for destruction. “

Not the orphans’ stories, but theirs.

What a load of horse shit. Ukraine is not Romania, nor Moldova, nor Russia. But now, prospective adoptive parents are turning to Ukraine but Ukraine is not wide open. It is being pushed for those looking for white babies.
