Like I informed you in our earlier comminications, on Saturday the November 12th our ministry team visited the orphanages in Suda and Krievets. "It was a tremendous time with the kids!", - Nelly said to us as we were fellowshipping with her over Skype the other day! Olga and I are so blessed to see how Olga, the manager of Light of Hope Ministries, Nelly, Abner, Nate and others got the vision, caught the fire and run today with the vision God has given Olga and I in 1995. You might remember our story when the Lord spoke to us to go out and reach the unchurched! We prayed and fasted for God's leading and direction and He spoke to us from the book of James and sent us to the orphans to celebrate their birthdays! In the past we would come on special days and holidays but today the team makes monthly trips to these orphanages and we see the fruit from doing so! 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 we 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! Please keep on praying about and supporting our orphanage ministry!

The topic this time was Jonah and obedience to the Lord. The kids watched a cartoon of Jonah and the big fish, and then Abner did a Bible study and 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.
The ministry team plans to continue to go to the orphanages every month. The 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 the team would be filled with the Spirit as they tell them of the love of Jesus. We thank you even today for praying and sending support our way so that we could buy Christmas gifts for the kids. Olga and I know that Light of Hope Church of Cherepovets and Light of Hope Fellowship of Anisimovo will be participating in Christmas evangelistic event spiritually and financially! We need your help too as we are getting ready for all these events! Thank you all for taking interest in all we do in our ministry! Olga and I and all the guys appreciate your involvment with ICM and Light of Hope Ministries!
