It was good to get some good sleep after the long trip. This morning we started by setting up and decorating before the kids arrived. They all arrived around 11:00 AM. We were all assigned to groups and I am in a group with nine kids ages 5-9 who were saved from abortion. Grace senior high kids in my group are Lindsey and Brian. The Ukrainians in our group are Natasha, Oxana, Alona and our translators are Alosha and Victoria. We are all close already and I have already developed some special connections with a couple of them.
Soon we will be going to a lesson and worship time. We will also be coming up with a group name and a mission statement with our kids. God is good! I ask you to keep praying.
