Checking in with our friends

 Just when I started to get worried that I haven't heard from Nikolai, who can only send messages when he's back from the frontlines, a chat that popped up on facebook last night from him. Keep him and Andrey, also in the army,  in your prayers for Ukraine. 

I have a few photos from the children's meeting for our program's children. 

Here's a photo of our friends and program directors Oleg and Elena, with their baby daughter. They also have two sons, who are school age. Elena recently celebrated her birthday. 

We often say that God had a plan in place to keep our program going (and growing) during this war, bringing us Max Rudei in 2010, and Oleg and Elena to us in the summer before the war started.
