PLEASE
KEEP
PRAYING!!!!
There
is
no
doubt
God
is
working
on
earth
today
the
same
way
as
in
the
times
of
the
acts
of
the
apostles.
Jesus
said
that
the
same
works
he
had
done
among
us
we
will
do
too
and
even
more.
But
sometimes
it
is
hard
for
us
to
believe
that
God
will
raise
someone
from
the
dead
by
our
prayer.
And
sometimes
we
stop
talking
about
Jesus
to
people
because
some
people
are
not
very
happy
with
that.
Well,
each
trip
of
our
missionary
team
to
Crimea
has
its
own
flavor.
And
though
there
was
no
one
raised
from
the
dead
yet,
however,
we
had
not
stopped
talking
to
children
about
Jesus
notwithstanding
some
people's
dissatisfaction.
This
trip
we
were
witnesses
of
abundance
of
God’s
favor
in
all
we
did
and
everywhere
we went. (Vitalik Dudukaloff)

The Team
SEVASTOPOL
Vitalik Dudukaloff
We
arrived
in
Sevastopol
at
6
AM
Thursday
morning.
We
had
two
great
programs
with
kids
from
two
villages
just
outside
of
Sevastopol.
These
two
villages
are
two
of
the
five
villages
we
ministered
in
last
summer.
These
are
totally
un-churched
kids.
The
next
two
days
we
had
programs
in
three
orphanages
in
Sevastopol
and
the
Sevastopol
Shelter.
Being
able
to
get
into
the
orphanages
is
a
huge
MIRACLE!!
We
had
been
told
that
the
directors
of
the
orphanages
would not let us in. (Rich Richmond)
Our
fist
place
of
ministry
was
Sevastopol.
This
city
is
somewhat
like
Capernaum
in
Bible
days.
It
is
located
on
the
sea
and
has
both
very
dedicated
followers
and
hard
hearted
adversaries.
Each
time
we
go
there
we
have
mixed
emotions.
In
previous
years
there
we
had
no
problems
getting
into
orphanages
to
see
kids,
fellowship
with
them,
and
maybe
sing
a
few
songs.
This
time
our
helper
who
contacted
orphanages'
administration
said
that
at
one
place
they
are
open
for
us
to
come,
two
places
didn’t
really
want
to
see
us,
and
one
place
they
were
asking
to
buy
them
something.
Of
course
our
policy
is
to
minister
to
all
children
we
possibly
can
and
try
to
avoid
any
gifts.
So
we
went
there
anyway
and
had
no
gifts.
An
amazing
thing
happened.
We
were
accepted
everywhere,
most
places
with
joy
from
both
children
and
teachers
and
we
were
even
able
to
do
three
programs
with
songs
and
skits.
Isn’t
it
God’s
favor?
One
of
the
girls
in
the
orphanage
shared
with
us
that
she
loves
the
Lord
and
sometimes
on
Sundays
she
runs
away
from
the
orphanage
to
go
to
church.
Even
though
in
the
beginning
the
mission
seemed
to
be
impossible
God’s
favor
was
there
to
help
us
through.

Dudukaloff)
Belaclava
Vitalik,
Sherrel
and
I
spent
Saturday
evening
and
night
fellowshipping
with
Alex,
Sveta
and
family.
Sunday
the
team
went
to
church
in
Balaclava
where
Rich
shared
the
word
of
God.
After church and lunch with Sveta the team headed to Belogorsk. (Rich Richmond)
Belogorsk Region
We
have
received
Samaritans
Purse
"like"
boxes
from
an
organization
in
Scotland,
about
800
total.
When
we
were
inventorying
the
boxes
it
was
discovered
that
almost
half
of
them
were
for
adults.
What
to
do???
I
knew
it
had
not
surprised
God
but
it
had
me.
You
just
never
see
adult
boxes
and
we
had
had
plans
for
these
boxes
for
children
in
poor
remote
villages.
After
much
prayer
and
a
confirming
email
from
Matt
Coleman
in
Russia,
we
got
on
board
with
God’s
plan.
We
decided
to
give
the
gift
boxes
to
staff
and
teachers
where
we
were
having
the
programs.
Pastor
Vitalik
and
Pastor
Yuri
shared
the
gospel
with
the
teachers
and
prayed
the
sinner’s
prayer.
The
very
first
program
we
did
in
Belogorsk
Region
two
of
the
teachers
started
to
openly
cry
when
we
thanked
them
for
their
hard
work
with
the
children.
They
listened
intently
while
the
good
news
about
Jesus
was
shared
and
all
the
teachers
prayed
the
sinner’s
prayer.
What
a
MIRACLE!!!
This
was
the
theme
for
the
25
programs
we
had
in
the
Belogorsk
Region.
Thank
you
Jesus
for the lives you are changing in children and adults. (Rich Richmond)
Teacher Gifts
Foster Family
Kindergartens
The
second
place
we
ministered
at
was
Belogorsk
Region
-our
most
favorite
place.
People
(mainly
Tatars)
live
there
in
poor
conditions,
not
much
industry
going,
and
very
basic
social
environment.
Kindergartens
and
schools
were
very
happy
to
receive
a
group
of
people
that
brought
some
puppets,
skits,
and
songs
to
make
a
simple
but
very
bright
concert.
After
a
program
a
couple
local
pastors
would
get
together
with
teachers
or
caretakers
and
share
with
them
a
word
of
thankfulness
for
what
these
people
are
doing
for
children,
give
them
some
gifts
and
pray
the
sinner’s
prayer.
Just
to
let
you
know
what
an
impact
it
all
had
on
children
and
teachers,
the
whole
atmosphere
in
those
places
was
changing,
kids
were
extremely
happy.
When
sinner’s
prayer
was
read
with
teachers
most
of
them,
both
Tatars
and
Russian,
were
praying
and
some
were
even
crying.
That
was
a
huge
outpouring
of
God’s
grace!
One
place,
I
should
say,
the
principal
of
the
school
came
and
stopped
the
program
right
in
the
middle
of
a
song
because
she
got
really
scared
of
one
parent
complaining.
As
we
found
out
later
there
is
a
long
story
behind
it
and
the
strongest
motive
of
the
principal
was
fear.
To
make
long
story
short,
when
you
are
effective
Satan
really
doesn’t
like
that.
But
we
as
followers
of
Christ
have
learned
to
receive
all
persecution
as
a
blessing.
With
all
of
that
said
we
felt
that
this
trip
to
Belogorsk
was
one
of
the
most
successful
since the day we started to come there 3 years ago. (Vitaly Dudukaloff)
Kerch
Kerch
was
our
third
place
of
ministry.
Coming
to
the
orphanage
where
we
minister
is
like
coming
to
a
church.
During
the
years
our
teams
and
other
Christian
groups
come
there
kids
learned
a
lot
about
God,
some
of
them
know
God
personally,
they
pray
with
us
and
witness
God’s
glory.
One
time
after
we
prayed
together
in
a
circle
holding
each
other’s
hands
one
boy
quietly
had
shared
with
me
his
short
testimony.
He
said
‘No
one
taught
me
to
pray
and
no
one
told
me
that
I
should
pray.
One
time
in
the
night
I
saw
a
nightmare.
I
woke
up
and
I
just
knew
that
I
have
to
pray.’
Of
course
I
had
to
explain
to
him
that
it
was
the
Holy
Spirit
who
told
him
to
pray
and
taught
him
how
to
do
it.
But
isn’t
it
God’s
favor
that
we
hear
these
stories
and
receive
a
confirmation
that
our
labor
is
not
in
vain
but
seeds
we
sow
eventually
bring
fruit.
One
orphanage
in
Kerch
we
used
to
go
to
refused
to
receive
us.
I
think
because
they
learned
that
we
are
not
bringing
them
any
gifts.
But
God
had
another
plan.
There
was
another
orphanage
we
never
had
been
at
that
received
us.
The
program
there
was
amazingly
successful
and
the
head
teacher
said
they
will
be
happy
to
see
us
there
any
time.
God’s
favor
was
right there to help us in this matter as well.
Mental Internot
Kerch Internot
As
I
read
Hebrews
10th
and
11th
chapters
today
I
went
through
some
examples
of
people
living
by
faith.
At
the
end
of
the
11th
chapter
the
author
makes
a
statement
‘and
there
is
not
enough
time
for
us
to
mention
all
other
people
(who
live
by
faith)’.
Same
thing
I
can
say
that
there
is
not
enough
time
to
mention
about
hundreds
of
other
testimonies
of
what
God
had
done
on
this
trip.
He
is
wonderful. May his favor follow you today. (Vitaly Dudukaloff)
PLEASE KEEP PRAYING!!!!
Your prayers and financial support have made these miracles possible.
