How
can
we
do
the
work
of
God
that
the
results
would
be
the
most
effective?
I
always
think
about
that
each
year
when
we
get
ready
for
our
outreaches
in
Crimea.
Our
time
with
children
in
the
camps
is
limited
to
less
than
two
weeks
but
the
results
we
are
expecting
to
get would affect the children for eternity. So how to make this short time a life changing experience?
We
start
from
the
strong
emphasis
on
team
work.
Year
after
year
we
become
more
and
more
confident
that
our
efforts
as
a
team
increase the effectiveness of the ministry multiple times. Each trip we gather like-
minded
people
from
different
towns,
countries
and
backgrounds.
And
what
brings
us
together,
like
one
person,
is
the
purpose
to
see
the life saving presence of Jesus in each child's heart.
The Heart of Missions
Summer 2006 Camp Gorney
A well-
organized
program
is
another
powerful
means
by
which
we
expect
to
influence
orphans'
lives.
Many
times
and
in
various
ways
the
team
stresses
the
importance
of
personal
relationships
with
God,
the
need
for
repentance
and
the
blessing
of
having
healthy
life.
Skits, puppets, songs and crafts are meant to leave in children's minds unforgettable impressions about God's truths.
So,
do
our
teams
always
look
like
one
man?
Unfortunately,
not
always.
Sometimes
we
have
hard
time
meeting
together
on
time.
Do
our
programs
always
run
smoothly?
Not
always.
We
are
people
and
we
do
make
mistakes.
So
what
is
making
the
ministry
of
The
Least
of
These
so
effective
and
incredible
(as
well
as
any
other
ministry)?
This
year
God
gave
me
this
scripture
from
Zechariah
4:6
to
strengthen
my
faith
as
well
as
of
the
team,
Not
by
might,
nor
by
power,
but
by
My
Spirit,
says
the
Lord.
Exactly,
the
Lord
Himself
plays
the
key
role
in
changing
children's
lives.
He
exposes
our
sin,
He
heals
the
wounds
and
finally
He
gives
salvation.
Without
Jesus
we can do nothing (John 15:5).
Crafts
This
year
in
our
trips
to
Kerch,
Belogorsk
and
Sevastopol
regions
we
had
wonderful
teams.
I
want
to
thank
God
and
all
team
members
for
high
level
of
unity
and
dedication.
The
Lord
had
done
many
miracles,
many
lives
were
touched.
Something
new
in
the
ministry
is
happening
every
year
and
this
year
is not exclusion. I want to mention just major ones.
This
year
for
the
first
time
while
in
Kerch
region
we
had
people
from
the
local
church
participating
with
us
in
the
ministry
to
children.
We
wanted
this
to
happen
for
several
years.
And
although
we
were
cooperating
with
local
churches
in
Kerch,
we
seemed
never
were
able
to
get
a
response
from
individual
church
members
to
go
with
us
on
the
outreaches.
This
time
we
had
four
stable
participants
from
Arch
of
Salvation
Church.
Their
testimonies
about
what
they
have
experienced
during
10
days
of
ministry
in
the
team
of
The
Least
of
These
were
full
of
joy,
encouragement
and
fire.
In
fact
after
a
recent
phone
call
to
Kerch
we
found
out
that
two
of
them
continue
to
go
and
visit
children
at
the
camp
where
we
ministered.
This
gives
us
a
big
joy
in
our
hearts
because
it
is
one
of
our
purposes,
to
envision
local
churches
to
take
responsibility for orphans in their regions.
Games, gifts and prizes!
Hair Cut Time
Playing Soccer
Team Work
The
ministry
in
Camp
Gorney
located
in
Sevastopol
region
also
deserves
all
high
remarks.
By
God's
grace
the
team
was
able
to
minister
not
only
to
young
children
but
to
the
older
children
as
well.
In
previous
years
older
kids
just
were
not
interested
in
fellowshipping
with
team
members
and
knowing
anything about Jesus. But this year the doors got opened. Some of the toughest boys 14-15 years old, who
went
through
all
possible
hardships,
who
are
considered
to
be
criminals
were
coming,
talking
to
us
and
asking
to
tell
them
more
about
faith
in
God.
One
of
them
was
Sergey.
He
almost
drowned
in
the
sea
drunk
from
alcohol
four
times,
tried
to
hang
himself
out
the
window
on
the
second
floor
but
slipped
out
of
the
loop
and
fell
to
the
ground
with
his
head
down.
Another
boy,
also
named
Sergey,
tried
all
drugs
and
used
to
be
drug
addict
for
two
months.
He
has
hard
time
to
believe
that
a
drug
addict
with
several
years
of
drug
use
can
be
freed
and
live
a
new
life,
but
he
still
comes
to
listen
to
God's
word.
Another
boy
is
Aleksey
who
was
convicted
of
a
crime
and
put
on
probation
for
two
years,
loves
Christian
songs.
Sasha
was
always
around
to
hear
more
about
Jesus
and
said
that
he
began
to
pray
every
evening
before
going
to
sleep.
Boy
by
the
name
Roman
prayed
salvation
prayer
on
a
three
day
hike.
A
girl
Anna
started
to
read
her
Bible and promised to go to Church regularly when they go back to school in September. And so on.
Three-
day hike
In
this
short
report
I
am
not
mentioning
what
changes
God
had
made
in
the
hearts
of
stuff
workers
in
these
camps.
And
of
course
the
members
of
The
Least
of
These
teams
have
received
much
spiritual
blessings
and
growth
for
being
obedient
to
God's
calling.
There
are
miracles
we
have
seen
and
there
are
those
that
we
have
not
seen,
but
all
of
them
were
done
only
by
His
Spirit.
Praise
the
Lord!
What a wonderful time of sowing, time of reaping and time of growing did we have this summer!
Abundant God's blessings to you.
