Greetings!
A number of friends of New Thing have asked about the amazing, unprecedented developments in Belarus.
New Thing never takes a public political stand related to our adopted country.
There are people in need of help regardless of who’s holding government power.
But the BBC posted a photo report that shows, in a few words and lots of pictures, how current events unfolded.
It’s pretty balanced and straightforward.
It will only take you a minute or two, but it provides a good overview.
You may also like The Guardian’s Belarus feed.
Or you can search for Belarus on the CNN World News feed.
And please feel free to reach out to me privately if you need more information.
Our work of compassion continues. Our teams have not let up.
Every day, we’re feeding hungry people, providing clothing and connections to services for the homeless.
We’re helping in centers for abused and abandoned children, in foster homes, in hospitals, and more.
Your generosity makes a real difference.
Thanks for journeying with us!
Much love,
Doug Brendel
