Grad Bible Study Night!

Every 2 weeks we hold a bible study for kids that have left the orphanage.  Last night we had 11 kids out and talked about Jonah and how hard it can be sometimes to actually listen to what God is telling us to do.  We had a great discussion and after that we went around and talked about our highs and low for the last weeks.  It was really cool to hear how much the kids wanted to share about their lives.  We are so blessed to have this opportunity to be part of the kids lives and it is amazing to see how many of them are following God!!

We also had Ura and Dennis join us (they had once lived in a handicapped orphanage outside of town and now Dennis is living in a group home and Ura is living on his own).  Dennis had been sent to another handicapped orphanage just our of Krivoy but through all your donations we are working with some local Ukrainians to keep Dennis out of that place because it is more like prison then a home for handicapped people.

Kids Day!!

Every year the Praise Church in Krivoy Rog puts on a kids program and invites all the orphanages!! It was a fun time with games, skits, and a whole lot of noise! So here are a few pictures of our time there.
