Belogorsk Region:
We
picked
up
Matt
and
Heide,
missionaries
to
Russia,
and
a
Campus
Crusade
friend
Jamie
in
Sevastopol.
We
were
blessed
to
have
them
as
team
members.
Pastor
Uri
and
Costia,
a
missionary
we
partner
with
in
the
Belogorsk
Region
had
arranged
for
4
programs
the
first
day,
8
the
second
day
(we
split
into
2
teams)
5
the
third
day
and
4
the
4th
day.
On
Easter
Sunday
we
were
asked
to
do
programs
at
2
churches.
God
powerfully
moved
in
our
programs
where
we
shared
the
gospel
with
hundreds
of
children.
We
also
went
to
a
TB
hospital
for
adults.
This
is
a
sad,
dark
place
people
are
sent
to
die.
We
have
been
there
several
times
in
the
past,
but
this
time
was
very
special.
There
was
a
powerful
breakthrough
in
prayer,
people
asking
for
prayers
for
healing
and
salvation.
Vitalik,
Uri
and
I
visited
4
ladies
in
a
room
that
was
beyond
words
in
its
condition.
We
prayed
hugged
and
loved
these
ladies.
It
was
obvious
that
unless
the
Lord
heals
them
they
will
be
going
home to the Lord soon. I am humbled that God would use us in such a loving way.

A ministry targeting young people around the world,

What
a
day.
As
we
started
today
we
did
not
know
if
we
would
be
able
to
get
into
any
of
the
orphanages.
We
serve
an
awesome,
powerful
and
faithful
God.
Our
first
meeting
was
with
Alexia,
Director
of
Camp
Gorney.
He,
too,
informed
us
that
the
Mayor’s
office
and
the
Director
of
Education
had
said
no
more
visitors
to
camps
or
orphanages.
After
our
hour-and-a-half
meeting,
he
told
Vitalik
that
he
thought
he
would
be
able to work out everything and he sincerely wants us to be at Camp Gorney this summer. He was very emotional about this.
Vitalik
was
making
phone
calls
all
day
long
to
Directors.
Our
first
appointment
that
Vitalik
was
able
to
set
up
was
with
Orphan
House
#2.
Same
story,
new
singer!!
Meeting
started
off
by
telling
us
that
the
government
and
secret
service
had
said
no
more
visitors.
Then
it
changed
to
“we
must
let
them
know
ahead
of
time
who
is
coming”.
We
didn’t
get
to
do
a
program,
but
we
saw
many
of
the
children.
We
were
able
to
give
a
big
hug
to
Katia
from
Christie
and
said
hello
to
many
of
the
kids
from
Chris.
Sorry
Jacquie,
we
were
not
able
to
see
Roma.
It
was
left
that we could come back anytime that we want to with prior notice.
The
next
door
that
opened
was
Internot
#1.
They
again
told
us
that
they
had
been
told
“no
visitors”.
But
said
that
since
we
were
such
good
friends
with
the
children
and
that
the
children
liked
us
so
much
they
would
bring
all
the
children
down
to
a
room
and
let
us
have
20
minutes
with them. We had great fellowship. Yes, Margaret, we were able to give Vasa a big hug from you. The second door was opened.
We
then,
at
7:00
p.m.,
were
able
to
do
a
1-hour
program
and
Orphanage
#1.
Again
we
were
told
that
there
could
be
no
visitors,
but
because
we were so well liked by the children they would give us an hour with them. The third door was opened wide.
I
am
overwhelmed
by
God’s
faithfulness.
We
went
to
a
new
church
to
us
on
Sunday
and
after
the
service
one
of
the
young
people
(I
would
guess
16-17
years
old)
came
up
and
told
us
that
she
remembered
us
from
3-4
years
ago,
when
we
did
Kid’s
Crusades
in
Sevastopol,
and
that
is
how
she
came
to
the
Lord.
She
has
been
serving
the
Lord
ever
since
and
is
very
active
in
this
church
that
we
visited.
Also
on
Sunday
we
were able to spend some incredible time with Alex, Sveta, Elijah and Karina in Balaclava.
We
had
dinner
late
that
night
at
Nalya’s
flat
and
invited
Galya,
from
Pastor
Andrey’s
church
(we
visited
Sunday
morning)
and
also
Vasa
who
had
graduated
from
Orphan
House
#2.
We
had
great
fellowship.
Vitalik,
Vasa
and
I
went
to
the
kitchen
and
talked
about
salvation.
I
told
him
that
I
wanted
to
spend
eternity
with
him
and
compared
a
couple
of
centimeters
to
the
life
here
on
earth
to
the
hundreds
of
kilometers
from
the
west
side
of
Ukraine
to
the
east
side.
He
said
that
he
would
have
to
think
about
it.
Vitalik
whispered
to
me,
“Let’s
just
be
quiet”.
A
few
moments
later
Vasa
hugged
Vitalik
and
I
and
said
that
he
wanted
to
spend
eternity
with
us.
Vitalik
lead
him
in
the
sinner’s
prayer
and
then
explained
to
him
how
incredible
his
decision
was.
When
he
was
leaving
he
said
he
was
going
to
ask
his
boss
to
have
a
week
off
so
he
could
help us and be a part of the team at Camp Gorney. We have known Vasa for 8 or 9 years. Another incredible miracle.
I am believing and I am convinced that this is just the beginning.
It
is
like
a
homecoming
when
we
visit
the
Kindergarten
and
Alexander’s
orphanage.
We
have
so
many
dear
friends
there.
We
had
a
VERY
special
treat
this
time!!!
Jim
and
Linda
Deeming
were
in
Kerch
adopting
two
children,
Lisa
&
Tema,
whom
we
have
known
for
years.
How
thankful
we
are
that
the
team
was
able
to
share
this
wonderful
time
with
the
Deeming
Family.
Lisa
&
Tema
are
now
home
in
Colorado.
The
Kerch
kindergarten
is
always
a
highlight
in
our
trips.
We
are
able
to
openly
pray
and
teach
the
gospel
story
with
all
the
children,
even
the
teachers
have
asked
for
prayer.
As
the
children
get
older
these
relationships
allow
us
to
continue
the
mentoring
process
as
they
move
to
Alexander’s
orphanage
for
older
children.
One
example
is
a
young
man
16
years
old
who
graduated
from
Alexander’s
last
year.
Vadim
has
made
a
commitment
to
serve
God
with
all
his
heart.
He
was
a
valuable
part
of
our
team
ministering
in
the
orphanage
he
was
once
a
part
of.
Vadim
wants
to
be
able
to
go
to
Bible
school
in
the
fall.
We
have
promised
that
The
Least
of
These
will
support
him
in
his
education.
Once
he
graduates
from
Bible
school
he
wants
to
be
a
missionary
with
The
Least
of
These
reaching
the
lost
and
forgotten
children
of
Ukraine.
This
is
such
a
miracle
that
an
orphan
will
be
ministering
to
orphans.
Praise
the
Lord.
In
Alexander’s
we
have
been
blessed
with
the
hunger
of
the
children
to
fellowship
with
us.
Even
the older children are interested in knowing more about Jesus. Many lives were changed!!
I
am
excited
to
announce
that
we
will
have
a
full
time
missionary
in
Kerch
starting
in
September.
Vika,
a
graduate
from
the
UTES
Seminary
in
Kiev,
will
work
with
the
children
from
both
the
kindergarten
and
Alexander’s.
Again I want to thank each of you for your prayers and support.
In His service,
Rich
