We just got unfortunate news that the village of Cupcui is under lockdown due to an outbreak of COVID-19 in the nearby home for the elderly. We do not know how long this lockdown will last, but we are deeply concerned.

As you probably know, we supply the Cupcui Orphanage with groceries every week, and also had plans to deliver Christmas gifts to the children there (Orthodox Christmas is this week). Of course, this news means that we will not be able to visit the orphanage for quite some time.

Thankfully, they have enough food on hand for the next two weeks, and so far, none of the kids there are sick. But we urgently need to lift them up in prayer, asking the Lord to keep them safe and protected.

Please join us in praying for the kids, as well as the elderly, the orphanage staff, and everyone else affected by this crisis.

God bless,

Brian Paterson
