As many of you already know our American team is currently in the states due to the unrest in Ukraine. We appreciate everyone who has been praying and are hoping to make our way back to Ukraine in the coming weeks with safety plans in place. At the same time, you are probably wondering what is going on with ministry with the current situation so here are a few updates...
Post Orphanage Ministry Update:
First of all we just want to say thank you so much for sponsoring our grads for camp! It has been such an encouragement and blessing for us to see God using each of you in this way. With that being said, we want to let you know that camp will still be happening. We are praying, praying, praying that we will get to be back in Ukraine by then. However, if for some reason we can't, our amazing Ukrainian team will be running things from there.
Things to pray for:
- Camp planning would continue to go smoothly
- Our American team - that we would be able to be back in time for camp
- Our Ukrainian team as they continue to help with the planning; for the pastor as he prepares the messages
Orphanage Ministry Update:
We are excited to be in the process of preparing summer ministry plans with both the Pravdinska Orphanage and the Ulianivka Orphanage. Our Ukrainian team is rocking the preparation for camps and continuing the connection with the kids there. Being in the states, we were able to get 4 boxes of shoes and goods for the orphanages donated by Neighborhood Church Castro Valley's Junior High group shipped off to Ukraine. Right now is a period of preparation for all that May and June hold in ministry!
Please join us in prayer for:
- Department permission documents to be approved quickly and easily for ministry
- Volunteers to be available for camp programs in the month of June
- Ways to bring in more humanitarian aid due to the recent troubles in Ukraine.
