Weissensee fundraiser for Teen Challenge juvenile home, Kazakhstan

It's January again, the month of our biggest fundraising campaign of the year.

Krijn Donk has signed up for speed ice skating on the Weissensee in Austria on January 28, a 200 km tour! Like every year, he wants to raise money for a nice project. This time it will be: the juvenile home of Teen Challenge in Kazakhstan.

Krijn has been training relentlessly for the 200 km. Last summer he suffered from a heart rhythm disorder and then he had a cardioversion, twice. He is now fit again, for which he is very grateful to the Lord!

👉 Of course we hope that you will sponsor his fundraising campaign.

As for the project... Last summer Krijn and Cora visited Maxim and Evgenia (Jenja) Buzinovskiyi in Almaty. The couple cares for teenagers who, for whatever reason, cannot live at home or do not have a home. They also have three children of their own.

The teenagers learn what it is like to live together as a family. They get to know God and the Bible and are given important lessons for their later lives.

In 2016, the proceeds from the Weissensee campaign also went to the juvenile home in Kazakhstan. Click here to read that message. Back then, the Traveling Light ice skating team raised money for a kitchen which is still being used gratefully!

Last summer, they had technical problems with their 20-year-old passenger van and they have been living without the van for two months now. Quite a difficult situation, we are sure you understand. They have been saving for a new van for a while, but they aren't there yet. We also made a donation towards that fund in October.

The men from the nearby Teen Challenge drug and alcohol rehabilitation center have removed the engine from the van, they hope to be able to get it working again, but so far without good results... It is really time for a new(er) van!

Krijn would like to raise funds for this. It is possible to sponsor him individually with an amount per kilometer, with an amount for reaching the finish, or with a general amount

👉If you decide to participate, send an email stating the amount you want to give to krijncora@gmail.com. We then keep track of the pledges, which is always exciting!
