We are a Christian Medical ministry sending aid to Ukraine, as well as taking in medical teams and seeing patients in rural Chernobyl villages.

Our ministry also has a feeding program in an orphanage of 230 mentally handicapped children. We also hold Sunday School services and ship winter clothing and footwear.

We are a small grass roots ministry, working from our home. We take no salary or compensation form the ministry and have shipped 25 tons of aid to Africa, Haiti, Dominican Republic and Ukraine.

Our ministry also serves our local community by giving out food, cars, clothing, and medical items to single mothers with children.

We take America's surplus and redistribute it to those most in need both nationally and internationally.
