adopted orphans currently ministering in Ukraine

I'm excited to share a blog with you. http://nasekos.blogspot.com/
Karina was adopted from Ukraine and is now there RIGHT NOW ministering on a short term mission trip. Another girl, Kristina (who was adopted and lives in Florida) joined Karina on this trip as well.
These two girls were best friends when they were in the orphanage and now they are together to share God's love to the orphans and tell the Good News of Jesus and His love for them.
I am praying for God to be glorified through this small team. I am so happy that they are there loving on these children. I wanted to share this with as many people as possible so that we could all be praying for them. I'm sure the girls are facing different emotions but I know God's will, will be done through them. I'm so proud of them for stepping out in faith and going where God called them to go. I pray great things happen through them. I pray the people they come in contact with (even the directors of the orphanages) will see the light of Jesus in them and that they, too, will want this gift of Salvation.
Someone told me last summer that what we do on our mission trips doesn't make a difference. Hmmm... I think they were wrong. Of course, I agree that what I do doesn't make a difference whether it's here or there. It's what the Father does through me. It's what God does through His children. I praise Him for this! Let's pray that God makes a difference through those who are there right now in His name.

SA Christian School is busy preparing for this summer's trip. We are getting a new team together and working on getting plane tickets, translators, places to stay, and beginning to raise the necessary funds to get everything accomplished. Our major (and most fun) fund raiser is a Daddy Daughter banquet. We will be talking about how Daddy's can bless their daughters. We are planning to have this banquet in April. Just for fun, I'll probably post information and pictures about it as it gets closer to the day. It's precious to see the little girls and their daddy's walk in the room for their special night together.

Please pray for us while we begin to prepare the Bible stories that God wants us to teach, as well as the crafts, and activities. Pray for us as we raise money (the hardest thing to do of all). We want to be used by God and we want to be His hands and feet and show these children His love.
We feel led to wrap the stories and crafts around the Truths of the Armor of God. Our desire is for the kids to know they have God and His presence and His protection with them at all times. We want them to know they can guard themselves from the evil one. There is a LOT of work to be done to be completely ready.

I am trying to remember how to post a Youtube video on the blog page but it's after midnight and my brain is no longer working. So, I will copy/paste the address here. You can also go to Youtube and search "SACS Ukraine mission trip" and you should find last year's trip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqHb-PBZTnk
