Women’s
Shelter
Several years ago a Christian physician felt compelled to start a ministry to women
needing deliverance and recovery from IV drug addictions. She started a home that now
houses 16 women and has provided a powerful mentoring process that is bringing healing
to their tattered lives. Because of the women’s addictions, around 75% are HIV
positive. A physician and I, a certified nurse-midwife/ nurse practitioner, went to
the home to see how we could help with our limited resources. We are not allowed to
treat people without Ukrainian licensure. Each of the women shared their story with
us as we did a limited evaluation. They have been saved, and are hoping and praying
for a changed life and a chance at a normal life. It was precious to be able to pray
with these women and rejoice that they have found everlasting life.

A graveyard in Ukraine. Picnic tables are often
included among the graves to allow loved ones to "share a meal" with
their dead.
