Our Odessa team visited many different villages and orphanages.

They went to an internat orphanage. Some of the children were to sick to come to the program, so they visited them in there rooms. One little girl was 8 years old and her arms and hands were the size of a 3 year old.

The children here mostly say they have parents, but the staff says the parents bring the children and never come to visit. The Director at this orphanage wants us to come and do Sunday School programs. Praise The Lord!

Then we went to an elderly home. we talked about who is my neighbor. They all thanked us for coming. We had fellowship with the director. Pray for the staff and the director. Blessings to all of those who help!

We have 2 teams going in two different directions. At one orphanage Sister Marie told a story from Bible how Jesus called Matthew. We were with 6-9th  graders. It is difficult for them to read and write. these are internat orphanages. We gave Bibles and Christian literature to them. Told them the story of the Good Samaritan. We ask them "Who is your neighbor."

We felt the Lord's presence. The Lord is working their hearts very strongly. We have permission to teach classes in 3 orphanages. We are writing plans of our lessons, so it will be comparable with Ministry of Education of UK. Please continue to pray for this ministry!

We went to 2 elderly homes & 2 orphanages. One of the orphanages is an internant. Please pray for better hygiene & better care for the children at this orphanage.

The elderly home was like a small town. Ten older houses. A newer building for  the cafeteria. They have 219 elderly and handicapped. Eighty nurses on staff and 70 other staff.

We had fellowship. Seven people got saved. The Director got saved. Praise The Lord! The peace of God has come to this place.

We went to another orphanage. The children, about 100, opened their gifts. The staff remembered us and all send there greetings and want you come again.

Big thanks to those who give money and gifts and to those who pray for us!
