As I reflect on the calling to help orphans, I recall one day in church in 2000. They made an announcement about sponsoring a child from Russia. Being the Russophile that God put in me, I went down to the foyer and found all these packets to sponsor an orphan. Looking over the pictures and names, I saw Denis and it only seemed natural to pick him since my name is Dennis. The picture had him in a Broncos t-shirt and about 12 years old. So I had planned to go on a trip with the church in November and tried to make arrangements, I did not manage to go. My first trip to a Russian orphanage began in November 2002. I wrote letters to Denis in Russian and prayed for him.
