PERRYSBURG - ISOH/IMPACT recently announced the first birth at The Children’s LightHouse, an ISOH/IMPACT ministry.
 
Daniel Denis Ulianov was born to Albina and Denis Ulianov at 4:09 a.m. Feb. 17, at Mercy Children’s Hospital, making him the first baby to be born through The Children’s LightHouse.

Daniel weighed 6.9 lbs. and was 20 inches long at birth. His parents, Albina and Denis, are the directors of Mayak (The LightHouse) in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, a close ministry partner of ISOH/IMPACT.
 
Albina underwent successful heart surgery through The Children’s LightHouse ministry in May 2004 at St. Luke’s Hospital in Maumee. She then returned to Tajikistan where she met her husband Denis. Together, they founded the community-based organization Mayak, which is dedicated to providing relief and development to impoverished families throughout Tajikistan.
 
Due to health complications, Albina’s pregnancy was designated as high risk. Tajikistan does not offer the necessary medical services to tend to the family’s needs, so to ensure a safe delivery, the couple was brought to The Children’s LightHouse for the birth of their son.
 
While he was waiting for the baby’s birth, Denis traveled back to Tajikistan with a team from ISOH/IMPACT and assisted with the emergency delivery and distribution of food for famine-stricken families in villages near the Afghan border.
 
ISOH/IMPACT recently shipped more than 2 million meals to hungry families in Tajikistan and is preparing more shipments for emergency delivery. The Department of State Office of the Coordinator of U.S. Assistance to Europe and Eurasia (EUR/ACE) has said that the ongoing drought conditions combined with extreme weather in Tajikistan last year “truly caused suffering among Tajikistan’s most vulnerable populations.” The DOS predicts that this year could be even worse.
 
The family planned to return to Tajikistan and help launch ISOH/IMPACT’s new child sponsorship ministry, aimed at reducing the suffering of Tajik families while providing education and hope for the new generation.
 
ISOH/IMPACT is inviting individuals, businesses, churches and local organizations to celebrate Daniel’s birth by supporting the Mayak ministry and the Ulianov family. Donations for Mayak can be made online at www.isohimpact.org, by calling 419-878-8548.
