From Odessa

The following is from Julia and Sergey:

Last week we were able to go visit the kids in the orphanage in one of the villages 2 hours away from Odessa. We were really happy to see the kids and they and the staff of the orphanage were happy to see us. We are really thankful for the special bond we have with the people there. We really miss all of them and it is always our joy to go there. We made a craft with the kids (there were about 60 of them in the room), played a game and talked to them about how God made each one of them special and has a plan for each one of them. We are especially thankful to our Christian Ukrainian Baptist friend who donated money to pay for the gas of the car and also we were able to buy the feminine products with the money donated by the same friend. Also we were able to deliver the scarfs for them for the winter, the scarfs were made by the Cornerstone Baptist Church in Omaha. Please pray for us to be able to visit these kids regulary and have a real impact on their lives.
