Dear
Friends and Prayer partners!
What a
joy is to be the tools in God’s hands. Every day is an opportunity to serve the
Lord and every day is an opportunity to the needy in one way or another. Please
see what events we have had during the month of April.
The
Lost boys orphanage opened the door for us on the last week of April. It was
quite a battle….so, finally with the support of many of you, we just went ahead
bought the dippers, soda (the boys love it!) and decided to let the director
know right before we arrive to the place! It was risky and the Lord blessed us!
It was a very short time but wonderful. We actually got to see all the boys at
once as they were walking down the alley for their snack. We sang a little and
told the Easter story! It was very short but enjoyable!!
The
Lost girls place welcomed us as usually! We had an opportunity to visit them
several times this month and enjoyed dancing with them and doing crafts. In the
beginning of April many girls that are pretty capable of helping around the
place were helping to do gardening! They love to help!
FINALLY!
There was a Kids Games project for special need kids among Odessa orphanages in
the beginning of April! As you remember we planned this event in December but
it didn’t happened because the main orphanage was closed. SO it did happen this
month!! Praise the Lord!
This was our Easter service in our new village church
"Canaan”
We love
elderly as much as we do the kids! We rejoice every opportunity when we can
serve them, help, encourage and bring joy! This month there was a birthday party
for women and again distribution of the brain new men’s suites that were
donated to us!
The
final of the soccer championship took place in Yuzhniy (Odessa region) on April
18th. There were 8 orphanages that participated: Balta, Izmail,
Kotovsk, Borshy, Andreevo-Ivanovka, Odessa №5, Zhovten, and Ananyev. The team
from Odessa got first prize! So, they are going to play with three other teams
in Kiev on May 4th-6th. The one that wins will continue
its journey!
With
your support we could provide the dress clothes and suits for the graduates in Andree-Ivanovka orphanage.
We are so thankful
and grateful for you partnership in this ministry. We are seeing God move in
many ways as He provides the way for us to work with children and special needs
people. It is such a privilege to be His servant! Use this opportunity to bless
the children!
