The Kid's Crusade team was lead by Oksana, Sherrel and myself. We did high-
impact
VBS
outreaches
in
5
different
towns
and
villages
around
Sevastopol;
Balaklava,
Our
Church
in
Sevastopol,
Pobeda,
Shtormovoye
and
Chernoreche.
I
must
say
that
this
summer
was
the
most
challenging
outreaches
yet.
There
was
more
opposition
than
we
had
ever
faced
before,
but
with
each
distraction
there
was
a
double
portion
of
grace
from
above
and
doors
were
opened
that
had
not
been
opened
before.
We
should
never
be surprised, but always are, at the mighty hand of God at work when we are on the mission field.
Alex,
Sherrel
and
I
were
invited
to
meet
with
a
church
official
and
his
wife
one
evening.
They
began
to
pour
out
from
their
heart
what
they
wanted
to
see
their
church
do
concerning
ministry
to
children.
They
also
wanted
to
minister
along
side
of
The
Least
of
These in the future; to put together teams from their church and join forces for the Kingdom of God to minister in the orphanages.
Wow!
This
is
what
we
have
been
praying
for.
Our
prayer
has
been
that
a
local
church
would
catch
the
vision
and
begin
to
see
and
understand that the orphans are truly the lost and forgotten children. That they need to be loved, nurtured and mentored with Christ-
like
values.
What
a
victory!!
Seeds
have
been
sown,
feet
have
been
planted,
the
foundation
has
been
laid
in
Christ
Jesus
ñ
what
more
needs to be said.
We
had
a
great
team!
They
worked
hard
preparing
for
each
day's
ministry.
The
crafts
are
always
a
big
hit
with
the
kids.
We
were
able
to
hand
out
the
Life
Story
of
Jesus,
toothbrushes
and
toothpaste,
and
a
Christian
coloring
book
in
3
languages
(Russian,
Ukrainian
&
English).
Everywhere
we
went
we
were
asked
by
the
children
if
we
would
be
coming
back
next
year.
It
is
our
hope
and
prayer
that
we
will
be
able
to
return
to
the
same
villages
plus
visit
new
areas.
If
the
Lord
is
cultivating
the
soil
we
want
to
be
there
to
plant the seeds.
Sherrel
and
I
will
be
returning
to
Ukraine
in
November
to
continue
to
build
relationships
with
the
local
churches,
have
outreaches
in Kerch and Sevastopol and make preparations for next summer's outreaches.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
support
and
prayers.
Through
you
support
and
prayers
we
have
been
able
to
reach
hundreds
of
children with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
