Hello, pastor John and Evelyn!
Blessings!

When we arrived at the orphanage first we gathered around the circle and prayed, sang a song, and then sat on a warm carpet and spent some time with the children. It was wonderful fellowship, everyone of the kids could sit on our lap. We also had the Lord’s communion with the special presence of the Lord. Nurses thanked us and God that we remember them and don’t forget to visit them. They said that the kids are always waiting for you and treasure whatever gifts you bring. We’ve made a picture of them with toys that we gave them during our first visits.

Currently we have a big prayer need about one of the orphanage directors. He agreed that we would call him and invite him to church. When pastor was blessing him in a prayer, he said that he is all right, but his eyes were sad, the Lord is knocking into his heart (his wife left him).

This Director is very kind, caring, loving the children, but he needs to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. We are praying for his repentance, that he’d be able to meet and talk to our pastor. Please, help us to pray together for this director. Thank you very much for your prayers.
 

May the Lord bless you.
Abundant God’s blessings.
Respectfully, Victoria.
