Saturday the November 12th Svetta and I were able to visit the orphanages in Suda and Krievets with the Light of Hope team. It was a blessed time! There is already fruit from our monthly trips to these orphanages. Coming regularly has
caused many of the kids to become more responsive and warm towards us. They long for the affection that we give them and I do believe that what we are saying is becoming interesting to several of them. There are a few kids that don’t participate, but we continue to love them and to pray that the Lord would open their hearts to the gospel.
Our topic was Jonah and obedience to the Lord. We watched a cartoon of Jonah and the big fish, and then Abner led a short discussion of the story from the Bible encouraging the kids to be obedient to the Lord and His word. The team had prepared a craft for the kids. We cut out and colored fish and wrote 1 John 5:3 “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,” on the back. We pray that this verse and the story of Jonah would plant 
seeds in their hearts and that they would land on good soil. We believe that these seeds will one day produce the fruit of repentance and new life.
We plan to continue to go to the orphanages every month. Our next trip will be for the New Year and Christmas celebration. Please pray that the Lord would now be preparing their hearts to hear the gospel message and that we would be filled with the Spirit as we tell them of the love of Jesus.
