Spring 2008
Our
team
was
blessed
in
many
ways.
The
team
was
made
up
of
Vitalik,
Vika,
Matt,
Jamie,
Anna,
Lena,
Sherrel
and
local
members
as
well.
In
Sevastopol
Galya
and
Ira
joined
the
team.
What
a
blessing.
We
arrived
at
6
a.m.
Sunday,
met
with
Nalya
and
Valentina,
went
to
church
at
10
a.m.
with
Galya,
then
we
went
to
Internot
#1
and
had
a
program,
then
on
to
Distky
Dome
1
where
we
played
for
a
couple
of
hours
with
the
children.
At
6
p.m.
we
had
Alex,
Sveta,
Elijah
and
Karina
over
for
dinner.
We
were
joined
by
Vasya
and
Arcade.
We
had
a
great
time
of
fellowship!!!!
Monday
Galya,
Vasya
and
Ira
met
us
for
breakfast.
Galya
made
arrangements
for
us
to
have
a
program
at
an
orphanage
we
had
not
been
to
before.
The
kids
were
GREAT!!!
We
were
not
allowed
to
visit
Orphan
House
#2.
The team spent the rest of the day traveling to Belogorsk and working on programs for Tuesday.
The sign reads,
Belogorsk
Sevastopol
Belogorsk
In
Belogorsk
we
stayed
with
Pastor
Yuri
and
his
family.
We
were
able
to
have
15
programs
plus
visit
several
missionaries
from
Tuesday
through
Saturday.
Yuri,
Masha,
Costia,
Nastia
and
Alina
joined
the
team.
Tanya,
Vadim
and
Sergey
were
able
to
receive
permission form the orphanage Directors to be with us the week we were in Belogorsk. What a blessing they were and are!!!
One
day
between
programs
Costia
said
we
were
going
to
visit
some
missionary
brothers.
He
said
we
only
had
a
few
minuets
so
we
would
not
be
late
for
the
next
program.
Well,
after
about
2
hours
of
INCREDIBLE
PRAYER
we
rescheduled
the
program
we
missed
for the next day. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit was powerful. We were so blessed during this time of prayer!!!
We
visited
the
Mental
Internot,
Foster
Family,
TB
Hospital,
many
Kindergartens
and
Children’s
Clubs.
Each
one
was
special
with
many children hearing the GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST!!!
Sunday
we
had
joint
services
with
many
of
the
missionaries
in
the
area.
Pastor
Yuri
and
I
shared
God’s
word
and
again
we
had
a
wonderful, powerful time of prayer. After church we left for Kerch.
Testimonies
By Matt Coleman
I
stand
amazed
at
how
the
Lord
has
opened
doors
and
blessed
our
contacts
with
favor
in
the
Belogorsk
Region.
It
is
a
predominately
Muslim
region
with
many
Tatar
villages.
The
full
time
Ukrainian
missionaries
in
the
region
have
worked
so
hard
to
sow
the
seed
of
the
gospel
and
to
reach
out
in
friendship
to
the
Tatars.
Having
served
in
the
Caucasus
region
of
Russia
I
know
the
strains
of
the
Muslim
world.
The
fact
that
dozens
of
schools,
and
kids
clubs
and
orphanages
have
opened
their
doors
to
us
for
programs
is
astounding.
We
are
running
ministry
programs
that
would
not
even
be
allowed
in
the
States
–
and
more
doors
are
opening
all
the
time. The Muslim world is ready for the Harvest. Pray for more workers who will reach out with patience and love.
By Jamie Yeoman
One
of
my
favorite
times
in
Crimea
was
with
a
local
foster
family,
who
has
taken
in
12
orphaned
or
abandoned
young
kids
–
many
with
major
mental
and
emotional
issues. They
live
simply,
but
have
such
joy.
In
the
midst
of
seeing
so
many
kids
who
are
left
alone
and
in
bad
situations,
to
get
to
hang
out
with
12
who
have
been
given
an
incredible
chance,
was
really
encouraging.
Not
only
are
they
well
cared
for,
but
they
grow
up
in
a
home
where
they
learn
about
the
Lord
and
how
to
know
him.
It
was
incredible
to
see
how
much
that
couple
has
sacrificed to give these kids life.
Foster Family
Mental Internot
Kerch
In Kerch we were back to an eight-
member
team.
Five
of
us
stayed
at
Camp
Hope
and
three
stayed
with
Vika.
At
the
big
Internot
we
had
programs
Monday
thru
Thursday.
We
went
early
each
day
so
we
had
time
to
play
and
fellowship
with
the
children.
At
Distky
Dome
2
we
were
able
to
have
programs
Wednesday
and
Thursday.
Tanya
Frolov
set
up
a
program
in
a
TB
Internot
for
children.
We
had
not
been
there
before.
The
children
even
put
on
a
program
for
us.
They
were
so
excited
to
have
visitors.
Sergey
and
Tanya
made
a
celebration
for
us
to
celebrate
the
great
success
of
the
Fruit
Program
this
year.
Vika
and
her
team
from
both
Pastor
Frolov
and
Pastor
Homenko’s
churches
were
able
to
have
full
Christian
Programs
in
Kerch
Kindergartens,
and
then
they
gave
each
child
a
bag
of
fruit
&
the
Good
News
Book.
Can
you
imagine
Christian
programs
in
our
schools!!!
They
also
had
programs
and
gave
fruit
to
many
orphans. We have estimated that approximately 1800 children were reached with the GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!
On
a
sad
note
we
found
out
that
Pastor
Homenko
is
suffering
from
we
think
is
Bells
Palsy.
We
visited
him
at
his
home
and
prayed
for
his quick recovery. Please continue to pray for him.
By Matt Coleman
I
am
always
deeply
affected
when
visiting
the
large
orphanage
in
Kerch.
The
foundation
of
the
gospel
message
that
had
been
built
there
year
after
year
is
evident
in
the
way
that
the
kids
meet,
pray,
listen,
and
praise
the
Lord.
In
an
place
flooded
with
over
300
kids,
around
40
kids
(despite
teacher
opposition
and
persecuting
slander)
gather
to
have
‘church’
with
us
each
night.
And
to
hear
these
kids
pray,
and
deal
with
life’s
tough
issues,
and
interact
with
dramas,
songs,
and
testimonies
–
is
simply
amazing.
A
miracle.
Kids,
that
the
world
has
completely
turned
their
back
on,
praying
for
their
fathers
in
jail
and
their
alcoholic
mothers
and
their
teachers
who
bring
them
down.
Kids,
that
have
very
little
chance
at
a
bright
future,
asking
questions
about
our
lives
as
believers
and
thanking
God
that
He
sent
us
there
to
tell
them
about
His
love
and
grace.
Just
kids.
Kids
who
are
growing
up
with
conviction
in
their
hearts,
a
hope
of
a
new
way.
Of
course
I
have
my
favorites.
We
all
do.
Mine
are
Tanya,
Pasha
and
Nastia.
We
met
everyday
to
play
and
talk
together.
One
of
my
favorite
times
this
year
was
making
dozens
of
photos
we
had
taken
of
them
into
post
cards
with
a
border,
the
TLOT
logo
and
a
verse
on
them
“And
we
know
that
God
causes
all
things
to
work
together
for
good
to
those
who
love
God,
to
those
who
are
called
according
to
His
purpose.”
We
urged
them
to
hold
one
another
up
and
pray
for
each
other
and
to
also
read
the
entire
chapter
of
Romans
8.
Saying
goodbye
is
always
tough.
They
always
break
down
and
the
hugs
go
on
forever.
We
take
so
much
for
granted.
Testimonies
By Jamie Yeoman
The
day
before
our
last
program
in
Kerch,
I
met
a
little
girl
named
Tanya.
I
started
talking
with
her
and
asking
her
how
she
was,
she
started
crying
and
said
"I
want
to
go
home!!"
She
told
me
that
it
was
only
her
second
day
at
the
orphanage
and
that
she
wanted
to
go
home.
She
didn't
know
anyone.
She
had
a
small
knit
cap
on
because
her
head
had
just
been
shaved
–
as
happens
with
all
new
kids
at
orphanages
–
their
cruel
practice
of
dealing
with
lice.
She
was
convinced
it
was
a
mistake
that
she
had
been
taken
from
her
family.
They
had
evidently
gotten
very
drunk
at
their
own
anniversary
party
among
other
things.
I
was
so
sad
for
her
as
she
was
talking
and
wondered
how
to
encourage
her,
and
what
to
say.
We
talked
a
little
bit
about
God,
and
that
I
would
be
praying
for
her,
but
she
was
still so sad.
The
next
day,
she
came
running
up,
excited
to
see
us
and
ready
to
participate
in
the
program.
I
know
that
the
Lord
brought
us
to
Kerch
at
the
right
time
for
her.
God
is
continuing
to
use
The
Least
of
These
at
that
orphanage
and
I
know
that
she
will
grow
in
her
faith
and
I
thank
the
Lord
that
she
was
introduced
to
so
many
believing
kids
on
her
first
two
days
and
I
know
that
she
will
grow
in
her
knowledge
of
God,
and
hopefully
come
to
know
Him.
At
the
same
time,
I
was
so
encouraged
to
see
God
bring
us
there
at
just
the
right
time
to
encourage
her
and
bring
some
light
into
what
was
one
of
the
hardest
times
she
has
known.
In
the
midst
of
her
first,
hard
days in a totally new world, we were able to be there for her.
