McDonalds with the kids
The kids are just sitting, relaxing, and talking, while Mer takes everyone's order. What a relaxing time we had just hanging out with the kids that day.
Favorite day in Odessa
On this day, we were allowed to take 17 kids with us from Camp Viktoria to church. A few of our translators attend this church and told us about it. Their services are in English and Russian. The church was about 10 minutes away from camp, which made it possible for us to pick the kids up. Normally we go to church an hour away from camp because the church is near the place we stay. We visit 2 different churches that our translators go to. But these churches are far from camp, so we have never been able to even think about taking them with us before. This was an exciting day for the kids and it was a very exciting day for us too. It was also a huge door that God opened for us. We loved the music! Some of the verses were sung in English and some were sung in Russian. We enjoyed this service so much! Church was held inside an apartment building and we packed the room very full! After church we took the kids to McDonalds. We had a blast watching them eat and visit and play on the slide. They were so relaxed and full of smiles. We hated for the day to end. God did a mighty work that day. He opened doors and allowed us to take the kids to church and He opened the doors of many hearts. Many of these teenagers and preteens accepted Jesus by the end of the week. Our prayer is that someone will follow up with the kids who have no Christian church to go to. They have no way of getting there unless they ride the bus. Most are not allowed to do this but some are allowed to leave camp; especially if they have family outside the orphanage.
