“Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.
He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him.”
Kingdom
work.
Such
a
joyful
privilege.
To
be
a
cracked
vessel
and
yet
to
know
that
Almighty
God
has
chosen
you
as
one
He
will
do
great
things
through.
These
two
weeks
in
Kerch
at
Camp
Cosmos
have
been
difficult
but
joyful
kingdom
work,
as
our
hearts
overflowed
with
God’s
love
towards
the
children.
Kids
from
local
families
blended
with
Kerch
orphanage
kids
at
their
yearly
summer
camp.
We
were
blessed
to
have
been
allowed
to
stay
and
live
at
Cosmos
with
the
kids.
In
between
preparing
for
our
own
programs,
we
were
able
to
talk
with
the
kids,
walk,
hang
out,
watch
their
camp
skits
and
programs.
Building
relationships
with
the
kids
and
even
counselors
in
order
that
we
might
win
a
hearing to share God’s gift of salvation with them.
Geralyn Keller
With
even
just
a
little
bit
of
Russian
language
skills,
the
American
part
of
the
team
was
able
to
share
that
most
important
item
–
love
(in
word
and
deed).
Hugging,
learning
crafts
together,
following
the
motions
of
the
Russian
songs.
It
was
not
difficult
to
build
those
bridges
with
the
kids.
It
was
so
clear
from
the
kids’
response
to
TLOT
team
that
God’s
unconditional
love
is
what
they
needed
most
in
their
lives.
The
Ukrainian
team
members
with
English
language
skills
were
on
constant
call
in
order
that
we
might
communicate
with
the
kids.
This
brought
double
the
work
to
them
but
what
joy
and
love
they
showed
as
they
took
time
to
minister
to
us
AND
the
kids
through
their
translation
work.
What
a
joy
it
was
to
see
the
Ukrainian
team
members
talking
seriously
with
the
kids
during
the
day
or
night,
sharing
the
gospel
message,
praying
through
issues,
teaching
about
their
creator
God,
encouraging
them for daily life.
We
were
blessed
these
two
weeks
also
with
five
members
of
a
local
church
in
Kerch
who
joined
us
every
day
in
ministry
to
the
kids.
There
were
several
breakout
teams
–
one
team
stayed
at
Camp
Cosmos,
another
went
to
the
kindergarten
every
day
and
yet
another
team
went
to
another
local
orphanage.
Each
team
was
responsible
for
songs,
skits,
puppetry
and
crafts.
These
local
lay
ministers
said
they
have
been
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
minister
to
the
local
orphanage
children.
And
God
provided
this
opportunity
through
TLOT!
How
they
fulfilled
a
prayer
of
ours
as
well!
We
leave
Kerch
knowing
their
hearts
to
minister
are
filled
with the love of Jehovah Jireh, God our Provider.
Life
is
difficult
in
Ukraine
for
many
people.
It
is
doubly
hard
for
the
kids
in
orphanages.
It
is
amazing
how
God
will
fill
your
heart
from
His
Word
every
day,
you
give
it
all
away,
and
He
fills
you
up
again
to
overflowing
for
the
next
day.
Just
when
you
think
you
are
totally
out
of
strength
and
patience,
God
shows
you
that
He
is
sufficient
for
everything
you
need.
It
takes
a
bit
of
time
to
put
America
behind
you
and
be
absorbed
as
much
as
you
can
into
Ukrainian
culture
and
the
life
of
a
child
that
has
been
abandoned
by
family
and
marked
as
someone
with
less
worth
than
others.
But
that
is
what
you
must
do.
This
is
Ukraine
and
you
must
understand
the
difference
as
much
as
possible.
Minister
within
whatever
parameters
that
God
gives.
But
the
universal
truth
of
the
nature
of
man
and
his
need
for
the
Savior,
Jesus
Christ,
surpasses
all
cultures
and
brings
all
men
and
women
together
under
one
purpose,
one
future hope of eternal glory.
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
mention
that
God
has
also
been
working
in
the
hearts
of
some
of
the
team
members
during
this
time.
There
were
some
here
for
the
first
time
who
are
now
looking
within
their
hearts
to
know
what
God
would
have
then
to
do
as
their
life’s
work.
Another
team
member
left
a
mom
back
in
America
who
is
battling
cancer.
A
Ukrainian
team
member
has
heard
God’s
clear
call
to
ministry
in
Ukraine
and
must
possibly
choose
between
marriage
and
living
in
America
and
ministering
to
the
children
who
are
a
part
of
her
heart
here
in
Ukraine.
The
team
went
through
growing
pains
of
working
together
and
becoming
one
mind,
shared
gifts
and
talents,
nursed
one
another
through
colds
and
laryngitis.
But
how
overwhelming
was
the
example
of
love,
caring
and sharing of the Ukrainian Believers towards one another. Such a loving exhortation to serve one another in love!!
God
allowed
us
to
sow
many,
many
seeds.
He
provided
others
who
live
in
Kerch
to
water
those
seeds.
As
we
left
Kerch
our
hearts
overflowed
with
tears
of
love.
There
is
a
part
of
each
heart
that
has
been
left
with
those
children,
a
part
that
God
has
intended
to
be
left there.
A ministry targeting young people around the world,
sharing the Love of God in Word and Deed.
