Good Morning from Kiev. We had a great time on the overnight train and all slept very well. We fly out of Kiev about 3pm to Amsterdam and should arrive in New York about 8pm tonight and Richmond about midnight! Back in the USA today! We are looking forward to being home but we already miss our Ukraine friends very much! We thank God for a wonderful trip and give him all the credit and the glory. To our families...we will see you each tonight! To all our friends we will see you very soon!
Blessings to you all and thank you so much for all your love and support!

8 In Ukraine
Today, we were able to be a blessing to the orphanage through chores we completed for them, more prayer group sessions using our missions cubes and through the smiles and love that we showed each of the kids today. Many of them stayed with us all day.. just hanging out wanting to be close. They see love in our hearts for them and know that we have Jesus in our hearts.
I was also able to bless a few of the girls today by giving them clothes that I had purchased to bring thinking I would wear them but I didn't. I didn't actually need them and I think the Lord had this planned all along when I bought the clothes originally. It was so sad today to see the kids wearing the same clothes they had on yesterday. Laura informed me that they are required to wear their clothes for a week at the time. Some of their clothes barely fit and most all of them wear clothes that don't match or leave little to be desired period. Yana and some of the other girls were so touched by the clothes I gave them. They were very well mannered when I gave them out.. no one was trying to snatch anything up.. they waited patiently. Then, smiled when I said 'for you', gave me hugh hugs, said spaSEEba (thank you) and kissed me on the cheek. One of the girls had to leave tonight to visit her brother but as she came to say good bye to me.. she had her new clothes in her arms. Another one of the girls was wearing one of the shirts I gave her and then at another time of the day she was wearing one of the shirts I had given to yet another girl. So not only were they feeling blessed to have new clothes, but they are sharing with each other. That is another testiment to how God is working among them considering their circumstances.
We gave them the volley balls we had brought along that are color coded. Gold is for God, Black is for Sin, Red is for the blood of Jesus that was shed for us, White is for we are washed white as snow when we receive Christ and Green is for our growth in Christ. Just another way we were able to minister to each of them. Now each time they play with these balls they will be reminded of Jesus and what he did for them and of their salvation.
We ended the day with the kids by having a praise and worship time with them. Our wonderful companion Karina ( our translator) sang songs with them as a guy played the guitar and another the tamborine. He had his sound system set up and the music was great. Even our buddy and pal Salva played and sang. Wow! He was awesome. The kids were right up front singing along and making the hand gestures to go along with the song and dancing. It was truly a blessed evening.
With lots of good byes, smiles and hugs of love, lots and lots of taking pictures with my camera and reminders that Jesus loves them each, we left to head back to the hotel and they headed inside to their rooms and whatever it is they do at night. Will you be back tomorrow they ask? We assured them yes and they waived and off they went.
We praise God for a blessed day and look forward to more of his favor tomorrow.

Artom
Here we are the third day at the orphange. We were to be ready to do some hard labor work. Rob, Laura, Vicky, Slava and the kids did have to go to work in the basement. It was dusty and hot! I on the other hand got to cut hair (imagine that... it is Thursday and I should be at work). The kids were lined up for haircuts and there were four hairdressers there. One of which spoke English. Now you know how I always say God is Good all the time. You tell me I didn't have to work in the basement cause he blessed me with the ability to cut hair and he gave me a hairdresser that spoke english. That is not coincidence. That would be GOD! If my shop girls could see the scissors I was chopping out haircuts with! I think they got them out of their sewing box. It all worked out. On the first day at the orphange there was this 16 year old girl that I tried to approach that wanted nothing to do with me. Today she saw I could cut hair and she instantly became my friend. So as I was cutting her hair, I was singing that song, in my head "Jesus - he can move a mountain, my God is mighty to save!"
After lunch we came back to the orphange, after I cleaned off all the chocolate that had melted on me, my shorts, and my leg. You would of had to be there to think it was as funny as we did. I had chocolate all over me and we had no wet towels. If we were in America we could just go to the bathroom and get paper towels but we are in Ukraine! The bathroom doesn't have toilet paper much less paper towels. So these stupid Americans are in the front of a grocery store all wiping chocolate off with bottled water and napkins they had purchased. Mind you the chocolate was located on my inner thighs and all on the cuff of my shorts. We looked like we were crazy. My only other option was that bathroom I told you all about the other day.
At the orphange we started picking up the play ground area although I don't know that I would call it a play ground area; maybe a field with a few things on it such as a set of monkey bars, a maze thing and I think that is it. Lots of broken glass .. pretty much a dumping place for trash. Then we went back over to the building and the older kids were hanging out and my new friend Svieta was sitting with me while Laura and I were printing pictures of the kids off. We are making some pray pages for the kids. Making it personal. We were waiting for the young ones to get up from there naps so we could play games and get ready for the praise and worship band coming tonight.
The praise and worship band showed up and the kids were loving the music and having fun. When I realized that Artom was doing some skateboarding moves to the side I took some pictures. This is the kid that on the first day we showed up looked us up and down and had that tough guy look going on. I went back to the hotel and told the rest of them that I will talk to that kid before it is over. Well after I took his picture he came over and asked if I would take some more of him and his friends. The rest is kinda history. I found out that he is on fire for the Lord and that he knows the only father he has is God. He is amazing. He is worth my whole trip!!! His mother and father have passed away. He is a only child. He dream is to be adopted and taken away from Ukraine. He is 15 and is a beautiful kid. He kinda looks like one of mine.
I beleive God is doing powerful things on this trip. We ask and he deliveres everytime. I take that as He has big plans for Ukraine! Only through him can we move that Mountain.
GOD IS GOOD,
Lisa

work and play today
We finally got chance to do some work for the orphanage today. We swept out and removed trash from a filthy basement room. I don't think they really got the picture about us whating to work because there were woman all over the grounds today painting had white washing the curbs and building and trees etc. and there we were just sweeping a basement floor.
We brought all of the soccer balls and volleyballs today while riding the "mashutka". I'm sure we were sight with all of our stuff. After we got moving in the morning and found Olga and got on to the mashutka we were safe and rode a different way to the orphanage.
Once we got there we were greeted by many of the kids whom we had talked to and while we were working they watched and or helped.
Lisa got to cut hair today because it was haircut day and they had poeple in to do the kids hair so Lisa volunteered to "fix" the kids hair. I think she had a ball. You'll have to read her post to see.
While she did that, the rest of us cleaned the basement room.
We then ate at the grocery store again. Evidently people don't sit and eat at the grocery store so Slava just told us people will think we are just stupied Americans. We were Ok with that and sat right down to eat for the second day in a row.
Vanya's stomach was a little upset so he didn't eat much but the rest of had a very good lunch and then it was back to the orphanage.
I had to run around find out what happened to the suitcases that the backpacks were in and then try to find the balls we were going to use to evangelize with. That was a like and easter egg hunt only no one knew where the eggs were hidden. We did finally get that squared away and in the meantime everyone else was out cleaning up the field with the broken glass and trash and such. There was so much glass in places that it was impossible to get it picked up. At least there is a little less than there was before.
We were ready for a worship band to come at 5:00pm but in typical Ukrainian style they showed up at 6:30 just in time for most of the kids to get ready to go in and eat. Before that time we were all going around trying to get the names and pictures of as many kids as posible. It was fun to use the littel printer Rob got for us for the trip. I hope we have labeled them correctly in order to tell who is who.
We have committed to pray for these kids and also write to them. I hope it will not be difficult to fullfill that promise. Rob continued to play with all the boys in Yuri's group and got quite the workout I think. The boys looked like littel dirtballs most of the day but who's looking At least they got a haircut from Miss Lisa! Yes, I sent them up with Keely to get in line for a haircut right along with all the other kids who belong there.
They turned out great and I'm glad we had that done since they were really looking a little shaggy.
Many of the girls we knew from last year started to warm up and we got a chance to talk with most of them too. I didn't really see most of my own kids most of the day. I could see them but I'm glad they weren't hanging on me.
This was Andre's last day a the orphanage as he will leave for good tomorrow and go to trade school to become a doctor. I pray he gets in and makes something of himself. We did make sure he had a few things he needed to have for starting school and tomorrow we will take groups of kids over the buy shoes and an outfit for the first day of school. We'll see how far the money goes.
We will get to take groups of kids we have been hanging out over with us to pick ut their own stuff so it fits and such.
Busy busy busy. But God is good all the time.
Bye for now,
Laura

8 In Ukraine
Wow.. what a day. Full of fun and lots of emotion.
Baby House - we made it finally. So many little kids. We had fun playing ball with them and blowing up balloons and watching them play and POP them! I would hold out my arms and bend over and smile and immediately they were wrapping their arms around my neck and holding on so tight. Broke my heart. So precious and so sweet. Later we joined them in their baby room where they were all running around with nothing on but their undies.. and again they were even more precious. They loved the attention. We prayed over the kids that needed healing and I spent time blessing each one individually as well.
Orphanage #3 - we arrived here about 1:30 and what a difference. Yesterday, they were not about us but today .. the complete opposite. They wanted to know who we are, where we came from, what our goals are, what our dreams are, etc. We sat with them on the grass in groups and talked about Jesus and they said they knew him and believed in him, that they read their Bible and they pray to him. Many of them prayed with us the prayer of salvation anyway and we all prayed together. They were very interested in what we had to say about Jesus and we had a wonderful time talking to them and answering their questions... through Karina that is.. our translator. She is such a Blessing to us.. she is a wonderful girl and does such a good job for us. Salva is also a true asset to us and said tonight he feels like he is part of our family. We totally feel that way. He is a Blessing as well. We prayed together before we headed out this morning that the minds and hearts would be open in the children today.. and we believe our prayer was answered. It was really nice to just sit and talk to the girls in our little circle and see them so interested in what we had to say.
Vikka (Victoria), the little girl who is being adopted by the woman from MN was being sneaky playing tag and then running from me but I would get her and tickle her and she was so happy and full of giggles. It was a true blessing to see her say that she believes in God now since her prayers have been answered. She is happy about Jesus and looking forward to her new home.
Rob and Salva spent alot of time too with the boys, in seperate groups, talking to them about Jesus using the cube that we have. The young boy that Rob was talking to had lots of questions about various life experiences and how God wishes us to act in such situations. After they talked for a while, I joined in prayer with them and I believe he was blessed.
We thank God for his blessings today and for the children he touched today. We know he touched the lives of the children and that he will answer their prayers. We know he will show us favor tomorrow as we start at 9 at the orphanage on the many chores that the Director has planned for us.
Blessings,
Vicky

productivity actually happens in Ukraine
Finally we got to go to the baby house! We suited up in the morning wiht the armor of God during our devotional, prayed for our children, and off we went. Everyone was on time and we arrived at the baby house and were greeted nicely by Vanyas group. A part of Vanya was excited and a part was really not too sure why we were there. He was having no part of being more than an inch away from me and didn't really respond to all the smiles from the caretakers. Much to my and Rob's surprise all the children were fully dressed to go outside. Many of the little people we recognized but many others were new. There were quite a few downs syndrome babies in the group now as well. There was also a little girl that had legs like Vanya's friend Luba. What a precious little girl Svieta was. Full of smiles and was even using the stroller that had been Luba's previously. They really wanted us to take a picture of her in hopes that someone else would want to adopt her to she could live a normal life as well. Olga had some games for the children to play and a tube for them to crawl through which they thought was a blast and also some balloons. We prayed for as many of them as possible. I had a very hard time with the first one but after that it got easier. Marina, with the big hair, was there and she was just as cute as last year. We got to stay right up until they had lunch and even then it was very hard to leave. Vanya had fallen down and hurt his hand and was not a happy camper after that but was content to have me hold me anyway. He had played nicely with his group but much preferred his brothers to his group mates. Everyone was very grateful for our visit and many of the caretakes were just thrilled to be able to see us and know that we had brought others to make a differnece in the lives of these kids as well.
Then it was off to the market. I had one of the best nectarines I have every had in my life. Lisa found some more fresh veggies and fruit as did the rest of us. We negotiated for some soccer balls and volleyballs for the kids as the director had told us that the playground would not be started until more funding was available. So we have purchased some balls adn will look for some Keds for the kids to play sports in which is the other request. We had a bite to eat at the good ole MickiD's and hten we were back to #3.
The kids were very happy to see us today and even Andre was a little today. I didn't post yesterday becasue the comuters weren't working right and I just needed time to get over how much some of the kids have changed in a year. Every year in an orphanage takes it toll on kids. We were able to share our cubes with this kids and a group of girls really took and interest and prayer the prayer a teh end to accept Jesus into their heart! Most of them already knew about God but this time they prayed teh sinners prayer and are now part of the family of believers. Yuri did great at the orphanage and was very happy to see his friend Roma. Even though he couldn't talk with him they had fun racing and playing games together. The girls we were talking with had all sorts of different backgrounds but knew it was important to pray and that God is real. It was sad that one girl had said she had come to America before but that the people didn't want her and sent her back. I thinkit was probably a hosting trip and then the people decided not to proceed but the way she toold it ws that she tried out adn wasn't wanted. We explained to her that God has a perfect plan for her and obviously she wasn't meant to be in that family but that she is on the family of God and that is all that matters. We really got a chance to hsare with the kids today and I felt as though we had a very productive day.
Tomorrow we will work in the morning doing something adn then have activities and a concert with teh children. We have begun to put the heart gallery togeher as wehave gathered namesand pictures of many of the kids. We hope to get many more tomorrow.
Signing of for now but read Lisa and Vickies posts too,

Baby House
Hello Everyone! I can offically say I am home sick. We got to go to the baby house today. I can't believe people really just leave their children. I know it is better than aborting them. I just have to believe God has a much bigger plan for them. I have lots of stories to tell when I get home. I want to tell everyone about one little girl at the house that was beautiful. Her name was Svieta. Her feet were turned inward. She should probably not be able to walk but believe you-me she does! Laura said her handicap is a birth defect usually caused by fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I would like everyone to pray for a miracle for this baby. I believe God has a family for her! I officially became home sick when I saw all those babies... it made me miss mine. We just don't realize how fortune we are.
Off we go to the Broading School #3. They all had fresh hair cuts, which made them all look different today... still all beautiful children. Most were very pleased to see us. We were able to share the gospel with some of the older girls today. They know who Jesus is... we just confirmed it for them. They really started to come around more today than yesterday. Tomorrow will even be better.
We will start the day doing actual labor at the orphange in the morning and then we will be spending more time with the children. We will be at the orphange all day tomorrow. We are having dinner with them and a praise and worship band tomorrow night.
I know I only have one full day left with the children and I know God will show up as he always does and I pray great things will continue happening. God is Good all the Time!!!
God Bless,
Lisa
