SO, we leave for Russia exactly 1 week from today, so I thought it fitting to post about some of the things we're super exicted about!!!
- This is the biggest team we've taken thus far, and there are 4 new friends traveling with us to meet these sweet people and children that we have come to know and love! I can't wait for them to get to experience what we've had the blessing of experience for so many trips now!
- We are staying at the Transition Home! What's the transition home, you ask? Well it is part of a ministry of one of the local bible teaching churches there. Orphan graduates can live there after they graduate from the orphanage. They participate in bible studies and work projects. We will be staying there for the majority of our time in Russia... this is so exciting because we'll get to hang out with many of the graduates that live there! :)
- Retreat!!!!!! For the first time, we are taking a big group of orphan graduates on a retreat! We will be away from the city for a few days with them. We will be talking about identity in Christ! I am so excited for them to hear all about who they are in Christ!
- Friends! We have made some sweet sweet friends over the years, and we definitely always look forward to seeing them on trips like this!!
- The Orphanage! We have permission to visit the orphanage for 4 days, and we will be putting on a camp for the children there! We were not allowed to visit the orphanage last year, we only were allowed to bring some of the children into the city, so we haven't actually taken a team there in a while! I am very excited to see all of the children we've grown to love and also meet all of the new faces there!
We are so excited for what the Lord has in store! We will hopefully be updating with prayer requests before we leave! We'd love your prayer support for these sweet kids and graduates!
