This Christmas season we are working with author and pastor\u2019s wife Yuliana Karaman\u00a0to reach orphans in Ukraine with the true Christmas message of Jesus Christ. In\u00a0December and January\u00a0Yuliana and our team are\u00a0taking the book to orphanages in Ukraine. Orphans will get to meet the author and will receive a special Christmas care package along with the book \u201cChristmas in My Heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
We are printing 500 books exclusively for orphans. That means 500 orphans will get a copy of the book and a care package.<\/p>\n
