Camp Uzhgorod

Hey Everyone!!!!! Sorry it's been so long since we've given you an update.
Things have been crazy busy this summer, camp after camp. It's always
like this here in the summer.



Anway Kyle had a great two weeks at the
orphan camp in the Carpathian mountains. It's a 17 hour train ride from Kyiv.
There were about 30 or so team members and 150 or so kids to work and play
with. All of them are orphans from two orphanages and ranged from 7-18.
It was quite a diverse camp. Most of the orphans were gypsies. It was
amazing talking with the kids as most of them actually have parents but the
state took them because of abuse, achoholism or drugs in their families.
They were so open to be prayed for and talk about God. It was really an
amazing thing to be able to minister to these kids. It was something I didn't
think could be so rewarding but something I just loved and want to do again.
We basically hung out with them, played games, taught Bible stories and character.
Everyday we had a chapel time with the kids and tell them stories from the Bible
and relate them to our lives. I couldn't beleive they could sit that long, the
kids are so hyper and active. It was a very fruitful trip and I thank you for
your support and prayers.



We are going back the first week of December to
do a Christmas program and pass out gifts. It will be a five day trip. The
kids are so excited to have us back, they call me once a week or so and ask
when we are coming. If you could specifically pray for Artina, Dylo and Vassya.
These are my closest buddies from the trip.
