Last week the Light of Hope center was blessed to have a mission group from America come visit. The group consisted of five women, three of which were high schoolers, and two men. They are part of a ministry that has been heavily supporting the Light of Hope Center, as well as many orphanages and centers similar to ours in the Vologda Region.
They spent the week going from one center to another and one orphanage to another, playing games, doing crafts, sharing testimonies and sharing the love of Christ. The time they spent at our center was a blessed time of fellowship and joy in the Lord. The kids really warmed up to the team and got excited to be involved in the different games and activities. It can be
hard to get these kids to open their hearts, which is why I think it is good for missionaries to come, to love them and reach into their hearts with the love of Jesus. We can use all the help we can get to reach these kids.
I would like to thank the team from Philadelphia for coming to share the gospel with our kids. It was a great encouragement to the ICM team and to the kids. I know that encounters with people like this will affect the kids for the rest of their lives. I would encourage those who read about and support ICM Russia to please keep these kids in prayer, and the team. Pray that we would have the wisdom and power to continue sharing Jesus with these kids. Also pray for missionaries as they go to different countries, sharing their lives, finances, and love with those that need Jesus.
