This website is the
history of TLOT
ministry from year

The
events
that
brought
me
to
penning
this
biography
for
The
Least
of
These
may
seem
trivial
and
non-descript
to
the
reader,
but
for
me
I
recognize
the
awesome
hand
of
God
moving
and
directing my life over the years.
I
moved
to
the
Oregon
Coast
for
employment
in
1980.
The
following
year
I
rededicated
my
life
to
Christ
and
began
the
life
long
pursuit
of
God.
I
met
and
married
my
wonderful
husband
Mark
in
1983
in
Newport,
Oregon.
In
the
early
years
of
our
marriage,
we
both
taught
Sunday
school,
and
helped with the youth program of our local church.
Over
the
past
twenty
years,
I
have
been
involved
in
different aspects of Christian service.
I
have
taught
Sunday
school,
helped
with
teen
youth
groups,
played
keyboard
for
our
church
worship team, and taught Women’s Bible study groups.
I
help
with
my
son
and
daughter’s
school,
both
in
the
classroom
and
specific
projects.
These
have
included
reading
programs,
math
help,
fundraising,
booster
groups,
and
site
council’s
for
the
local
school.
There
have
been
a
few
events
that
have
transpired
in
my
life
that
have
directly
altered
the
course
of
my
life.
One
of
these
events
was
the
opportunity
to
travel
to
the
Crimea
region
in
the
Ukraine.
I
worked
with
The
Least
of
These
organization
at
a
summer
camp
for
orphan
children.
Those
two
weeks influenced my life in several different ways.
The
first
came
as
I
witnessed
the
suffering
of
children
in
ways
that
I
had
never
seen
before.
The
second
direct
impact
was
God
impressing
me
to
be
“His
hands
and
His
feet,
to
go
where
He
would
send
me.”
I
felt
the
mandate
from
God
to
give
of
my
time
and
resources
for
these
children.
In
actuality,
what
I
have
given
has
been
so
small,
compared
to
all
that
I
have
received
through
the
children of the Ukraine.
This
year,
2003,
was
my
second
trip
to
the
Ukraine.
This
trip
was
very
special
for
me
because
my
15
year
old
son,
Tyler,
was
also
a
part
of
our
ministry
team
at
Camp
Gorney.
I
am
looking
forward
to our next summer’s outreaches in Crimea, Ukraine.
