Hello Supporters of ECAS (European Children Adoption Services),

One effective way we facilitate these adoptions is through our Journey of Hope Summer and Winter Hosting Programs where orphan children ages 7 to 14 spend several weeks to a month with a loving family in the United States and primarily in the Twin Cities in MN. Children from Ukraine will be flying to MN this June.

We have immediate financial need to help make this Journey of Hope trip a reality for the group of children chosen to come to Minnesota. We understand how difficult finances are for many families. We hope that many doing a little, just as Jesus took a boy’s lunch of 2 fish and 5 pieces of bread to feed the multitude, would be a strategy to finance the needs below.

We have only a short time to secure funds so the children’s airfares, visas, passports, insurance and arrangements can be secured in time.

The reality for children of this age is that they have very little chance of being adopted. Our passion is to prove that statistic wrong as we have for the past 10 years. To do this, we really need your prayers and financial support now.

We have dozens of testimonies of how non-hosting families have come forward to meet and adopt children as a result of meeting them in their host family. Please do not discount or dismiss any amount that you can donate to help these children find families through the hosting process.

Although we believe some are able to donate largely as God has enabled them, please give any amount that is on your heart because God will use it to bless these children.

Please do not hesitate and call us at the number below to discuss how to donate. All donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your consideration, prayers and generosity.
