New children arrive at the orphanage in Odessa
It is with thankfulness to God that we can announce the arrival of new children at the orphanage run by Grace Church in Odessa. Throughout the last year there have been many obstacles and there was a concern that this vital ministry might be hindered. However, prayer has been answered and the orphanage has begun to receive new boys and girls.
Over the next few months more children will arrive and it is planned that in the future the numbers will increase to 50 children in the orphanage. The children arrive in small groups to help them settle into a new environment with a new routine. Once enrolled they will all go through a number of medical examinations and the older children will be prepared for school. Some of these older children have not attended school for the last 3 years and so they will need help in adjusting to a new routine which will make fresh demands upon them. However, the team is excited and looks forward to caring for these needy souls.
Pastor Igor Bandura writes ‘If the Lord allows it ... we would have a total of 50 - fifty souls, fifty destinies - everyone of them in need of love, care and understanding. Pray for these young people, so that their hearts will be filled with warmth and love, and that they would feel that they are sincerely loved and cared for.’
