More about Thomas:"It's great to be alilve, to be connected with great people, and to be serving a higher cause!
My passion is serving God through serving the least of these in the world. I do this through Bridges of Faith International, working with orphans and other at risk kids in Ukraine. We also run a 140 acre retreat center in central Alabama called BridgeStone, serving all ages and all streams of Christian faith.
In this past six years, we have added a new chapter to the BOF ministry. We bring groups of adoptable Ukrainian oprhans to BridgeStone. We show the love of God in word and deed while the experience cultural exchange and Christian camp. While here, the kids often meet families who adopt them! What an amazing opportunity to change lives!".
