BBQ on the Beach

During our first week here, Jared and I have spent our days adjusting to the time change, catching up with friends & kids here, and praying for God's work in Sevastopol. Since we were here last, lots of exciting things have developed, the biggest of which is relationship with the orphanages. Yesterday, we had the opportunity to visit the orphanage for special needs kids, called "Internat." Today, we will be visiting the kids at another orphanage called "Dyetski Dome #2." And we're inviting them ALL to our BBQ on the beach tomorrow! We're praying that we'll not only have a good number of kids show up, but also that the kids who come would be open to the love of Jesus. We want to show them love and light, as well as let the kids know that we're available to talk with them, hang out with them, and that we want to spend time with them! We're also praying that God will help us communicate effectively and have a ton of fun! Please join us in prayer for tomorrow; we want to start this season off on the right foot and have an awesome impact on the orphans of Sevastopol!
