Tuesday's Ministry Sites

Our first boarding school this morning no photos were allowed. The children here were physically handicapped to many different degrees. A lot in wheelchairs and using walkers or crutches. We met many of the children in an auditorium where we were able to greet them and share the gospel. The team handed out carepacks, bears and childrens bibles. We received a tour of their crafts classroom and were thanked at the end of our visit by the director and each of us received an art piece that the students had done.

The afternoon site was further out in the country. There my group met with children from 7 and up to 13. We enjoyed sharing with them about America and ourselves and they sang a couple of songs for us. We gave backpacks with carepack inside, children's bibles, and the always popular bears. One of this sites biggest needs was food, especially fresh fruit for the kids.

Tuesday evening at dinner we were joined by Father Sergey and his wife. We will be working with Father Sergey at the hospital where his chapel is on Wednesday morning. He shared with us his community ministry outreach that teams with pastors from other churches in the area to help meet the needs of the people there.
