Summer 2004
I
am
so
thankful
for
the
blessings
God
poured
out
on
the
children
of
Crimea,
the
orphanage
and
camp
staff,
team
members
and
The
Least of These leadership team.
The
Least
of
These
ministered
in
nine
different
locations
during
the
summer
of
2004.
In
the
weeks
to
come
I
will
share
with
you
many more testimonies of team members from this past summer's outreaches.
New additions to TLOT staff
This
past
summer
was
also
exciting
with
the
addition
of
two
new
staff
members.
Alex
and
Sveta,
along
with
their
2
year
old
son,
Elijah,
live
in
Balaclava,
a
town
just
outside
of
Sevastopol.
I
met
Alex
and
Sveta
in
April
when
Alex
stepped
in
as
our
interpreter
in
an
emergency
situation.
His
compassion
for
the
lost
and
forgotten
children
of
this
region
was
immediately
obvious.
His
working
relationship
with
the
local
churches
helped
us
develop
and
improve
our
relationships
with
many
of
the
pastors.
Again,
we
are
so
thankful
to
have
Alex
and
Sveta
as
part
of
our
ministry
team.
Following
is
an
excerpt
from
an
email
Alex
sent to me.
ALEX’S TESTIMONY
This
summer’s
outreaches
was
new
experience
for
me
and
my
wife,
we
never
worked
with
children
in
such
a
way
before.
Sveta
was
happy because we ministered together in one team and spend all of that time together. It was the time of labor and it was a good time.
And
now
when
I
think
about
it,
nothing
but
good
comes
up
in
my
spirit.
We've
met
new
and
old
friends.
It
was
amazing
to
see
the
response
of
the
children,
how
they
danced
with
us,
jumped
and
waved
their
hands,
and
to
see
their
eyes
and
happy
smiles!
BUT
it's
not
only
fellowship,
new
friends,
joy
and
laughter
at
the
dinner
time,
not
only
labor
and
sweat
that
counts,
but
we've
been
doing
HIS
work!
It
was
the
opportunity
to
touch
children's
lives
with
something
GOOD,
that
comes
from
above.
It
was
a
time
when
we've
been
sowing
the Word of God in and to them, through dramas and songs, crafts and puppets.
A ministry targeting young people around the world,
sharing the Love of God in Word and Deed.
