Getting ready

Our San Antonio Christian School mission team is getting ready for our 6th trip.
For some, it is their first trip. For others, it is the 2nd, 4th, or 5th trip. No matter how many times we have gone, we are all so excited about going to Odessa, Ukraine!

We are in the middle of making our plans, buying our tickets, raising our money, and planning fund raisers.

Our team will be going to a summer camp for orphans. The camp is called "Victoria". We will also be going back to a small orphanage that we have gone to the last 6 years. We have made some strong connections with the directors and the children and they look forward to our return visits almost as much as we look forward to going back. We also have strong relationships with our translators, who love the Lord and who love the children.

We'll get back to you with more information as we make our plans.

Pam, I am so excited for your upcoming trip. I think I missed the dates...when are you going? How special the time with the kids must be, for you and for them. I'm glad you started a blog; it'll be such fun to follow along and pray for you all.

OK, now I see the dates. Please excuse me--I'm on pain medication right now! :-)

YAY! I am so excited for this trip. We leave to go back to the U.S. in about 7 hours. It is very hard leaving the children. You said I would go through a depression when I get back, but I have no idea what you are talking about. I AM GOING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW AND I HAVEN'T EVEN LEFT!
