On the 10th of March Sergey, Michelle, I and Nadya Molohova from the 10th grade from the orphanage attended a youth christian conference organized by a youth organization called "Rainbow". It was a great day filled with praise and worship and Bible teaching.
It was also challenging to hear about how christians live in other countries. In China christians are still severely persecuted and MANY of them are in jail for their faith (there are about 64 million people in Chinese prisons!) The prisoners work to produce different things like Christmas lights. So the Christmas lights which you put up this Christmas at your place might be produced by your Chinese brother or sister! (look for the sign"made in Ghina")Nadya said that it was a very thought provoking time for her and the next day she eagerly went ot he church with Michelle. She also came to the home group that Michelle, Sergey and I hold on Saturdays.
Please pray that Nadya would contenue to grow in her faith and that we would have wisdom to help her.
