Jim and Sandy McCann
Jim and Sandy moved to L’viv, Ukraine in 1993. Shortly after arriving, heartbreak shook them and they lost their son Joshua.
In the aftermath of this tragedy, they started seeing so many broken and hurting children living on the streets.
Soon their mission changed from planting a church to creating a healthy and nurturing home for these hurting children, and the vision for Joshua’s house was born.
Jim and Sandy have worked tirelessly together for nearly 30 years rescuing children and sharing the Good news of love and hope.
Now, Jim and Sandy have become parents to many formerly orphaned, abused, and abandoned Ukrainian children. God has brought the fatherless and the childless together and made them one big loving family.

Jim and Sandy enjoying being surrounded by their children at the Summer Camp. Each each year they host summer camps for all the children in the region.
