November 2006
Outreaches Team Report
The team has been blessed in so many ways. The unity
and commitment to share the GOOD NEWS with the children and staff was “more
than one could expect”. Our team was made up of: Anna from Seminary, Ina
from western Ukraine, Ksusha from Seminary, John from Loveland Colorado,
Vitalik TLOT Ukrainian National Director, Sherrel and myself. In the
Belogorsk Region Pastor Uri, Pastor Victor and Costia were added to the
team.
We left Kiev on Saturday, November 4th and
arrived in Simferopol Sunday morning. From there we took a van to
Sevastopol. At 4 p.m. we were able to have a program at Orphan House #1.
This is the first time we have been able to have a program there. We have
been ministering to the children from Internot #1 in the summer time at Camp
Gorney for 7 years. The kids and staff loved the program. We have been
invited back anytime. Thank you Lord. After the program we had a great time
of fellowship with the children!!!! On Monday we were blessed with a long
visit with Alex, Sveta, Ilea and Karina. The time together was a huge
blessing. They agreed to organize the fruit program in Sevastopol this
Christmas. We will be giving a fruit package to child at all three
Orphanages this year thanks to the support of Dan and Margaret Jones and
Toledo Foursquare Church in Toledo, Oregon. Then we had programs at
Internot #1 at 4 p.m. and Orphan House #2 at 6 p.m. . We also had a wonderful
time with two ladies we support who teach in Sevastopol. They are true
missionaries!!! They suffer much persecution.
Belogorsk Region. This has become a very special place
to minister. The partnership with Pastor Victor and Pastor Uri combined with
the friendship of Costia and all their families has been a great blessing.
The team ministered in kindergartens, internots, TB hospital, foster home
and visited other missionaries. On Friday the team had 4 programs in
different villages and visited two missionary groups. I want to tell you two
stories: at the first village we went to on Wednesday we saw a girl whom we
had prayed for last summer. I had been praying for her most everyday, she
had an infection on her face and many scars that were so bad that she was
embarrassed to be seen. We have been praying for complete healing and that
is what God did. She has a beautiful complexion with not one scar!!!!
PLT!!!! The second story took place on Friday at one of our missionary
visits. There was a young man there that all during our visit both Vitalik
and I were drawn to spiritually. Neither of us knew it at the time. As we
were leaving I started to walk past this young man, I felt led to put my
hand on his chest, the power of the Holy Spirit struck both myself and the
young man so strongly that we both wept uncontrollably for several minutes.
I believe that God was confirming the call on his life. Every day and every
program God moved in power!!!
Kerch: In Kerch we are able to see many of the children
we minister to in the summer outreaches. We had programs 4 days at the
Kindergarten. We gave each child a stocking hat and scarf that was hand
knitted by friends of Emily from Longmont. We were also able to give these
hats and scarves to the foster family children and children at the Baby
Orphanage that Lena is at in Kiev. We had three programs at Distky Dome 2
and 4 programs at Alexander’s Internot. We were able to have open prayer
with the children at all of our programs in Kerch. Many prayed the prayer of
Salvation!!!! Again many of the older kids were also deeply touched by the
sprit of God. We have made arrangements for a fruit package to be given to
each child at Christmas time. Two local churches will personally deliver the
fruit to each child in all three orphanages in Kerch. Thank you, Calvary
Church in Longmont, for making this possible.
Each member of the team was used powerfully by God to
minister to these precious children. God also poured out His blessings on
each team member. Philemon 1:6, I pray that you may be active in sharing
your faith so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we
have in Christ. NIV
May our loving and Powerful Lord Jesus Christ bless
each of you. I appreciate all of your faithfulness in prayer and support.
