This is our vision to visit our children in the nearby orphanages on Christmas Day, January 7th and celebrate Jesus Birthday with them! We do this evangelistic project under the umbrella of Light of Hope Childrens' Center. This year a team of both Light of Hope Childrens' Center workers and people from the Light of Hope Church went to the orphanage in the nearby town of Suda. The guys did a skit about how every New Year brings changes in our lives, and how those changes are brought by miracle of Christ’s birth. We have been going to this orphanage and the children have been listening to the story of Jesus’ birth for several years. We always offer kids the opportunity to give Jesus a birthday gift. When kids say: We are so sorry but we didn't get a gift for Jesus, - we then encourage them to give their hearts to Jesus as a very dear Christmas gift! This project is a great opportunity to point kids to the birth of Christ. Some of them received Jesus in to their hearts. And for that, we praise the Lord! Only by the Grace of God they are what they are today and His grace to them was not without effect! Every year they are filled with joy and excitement to remember this miracle and to spend time in fellowship with us. After
our Christmas skit we spent time playing games with the kids and handed out Christmas presents. The time was fun and filled with laughter!!!We are thankful to the Lord for the privilege of sharing a little piece of our hearts with these kids as we bring them the Good News and love of Jesus Christ. We are blessed to be able to take part in the lives of these kids.
Olga and I would like to say a big Thank You to all our supporters for making it possible for us to minister to these kids through your prayer and support. Please join us in prayer for the souls and hears of these children abandoned to the care of the state. The Lord desperately desires that every one of these kids would come to a saving knowledge of Christ; that is what we hope to give these kids.
