An old rusted van parked outside of the BridgeStone Prayer and Retreat Center is surrounded by volunteers rushing in and out of a dining hall, making sure the needs of eight Ukrainian orphans are met.
The van is symbolic, almost, of the needs at the camp, where for about
18 months, orphans from the Ukraine have been housed in hopes of being
adopted. At a cost of about $65,000 per group, the center has hosted six
groups of children from the Ukraine. While funds are never guaranteed,
faith — and a lot of prayer — holds this operation together.
