Mission Alushta - continued

So far as going day by day for this trip I have to say all the days blur right along together, so the posting will just be about "the trip". Doesn't matter to God anyway so long as He gets the glory.
Monday turned out to be a slower day...some of our appointments are no shows, but we were not idle. Refining our set up and spending time getting to know our interpreters and of course those who did come for wheelchairs. We prayed that the week would pick up, and it certainly was not as we had planned it, but God sure used our ministry to reach those who it needed to reach. I have not seen the final tally, but it is somewhere close to 140 wheelchairs and 40 other mobility devices (walkers, canes and crutches). Some 60ish (again with not seeing the recorded numbers) non-believers accepted Christ during our ministry time. Praise the Lord and praying for them as they grow in their walk with Him.
The team did a few home visits and ended up with two other cities by the end of the week for ministry as well ~ Evpatoria and Simferopol. Part of the team stayed at the church in Alushta while the others went for a road trip to serve those who were unable to come to us.
I am sorting through the hundreds of photos, let me tell you an overwhelming task to choose what to post. So bear with me as it may take a few days to get this trip posted.

My lovely friend Cindy is writing up a story for me to share...I asked her since she was the therapist who saw this family, I was simply a bystander to God at work. So let that be bait for you to return and read it.
