Yesterday, we had the opportunity to witness baptism in the village of Sitovichi! This is the village where our friends Lyuda and Vanya live with their family. Picture taken on a previous trip to visit them in May Lyuda grew up in this village and moved back there about 7 years ago, not long after…

Our camp for adults with disabilities was held July13-20 and had the theme of “Shalom.” We spent the week with old friends and new acquaintances. Although the week was not without some difficulties, we are very thankful for God’s blessings and answers to prayers! The forecast for the week of camp called for rain every…

Wow, it’s been a really long time since my last post and far too much has happened to share it all, but I’ll do my best to hit the highlights and then post more frequently in the future. I had a wonderful time in the US for the months of October through March. I got…

God has been good to us in many ways over the past month and more! We enjoyed a few days off after camps before resuming work at the Agape Rehabilitation Complex and it has been non-stop ever since.
