The Gardene, Latvia orphanage is one of over 300 such facilities in Latvia and is located 150 miles Northeast of Riga. Inga Karnishauska is our Latvian Missionary and liaison for the Gardene Orphanage. She pastors and preaches under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. She directed us to this home to over 400 children because they believe each child should have the opportunity to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior. With our financial support, we have provided funds for over 40 children to have eye surgery. Purchased 16 computers so the children can learn to type and 5 sewing machines to help hem get jobs when they come of age. There are still many needs and opportunities to bless these children. You can be a part of helping a child become a godly vessel and positive light in Latvia.
