Morshansk--Thanks Topscorer...whoever you are :)

Today we went to two orphanages in Morshansk. The first orphanage had about 20 kids in the 8-13 range. Here are pictures...

This is the whole group (kids and team).

The second orphanage was a surprise for us. We were expecting kids who were older than the first orphanage and these this were 1 1/2 to 3 years old (and a couple older than that). One look at these kids and the had our hearts. These kids were so precious and it was hard knowing that they were orphans. We played some games with beach balls (Thanks Ohio team!) and we did Simon says. After that we did a skit about Jesus being God's Christmas gift to them.

Here are some pictures from the second orphanage...



Please pray for continued ministry in these orphanages.

The picture of the little ones lined up holding their hats full of gifts is amazing. I do wonder if they have a personal drawer, locker where they keep their private stuff- own clothes, toys, books etc. it would be interesting to know. the only photes of orphanages I ever saw were just beds. You must have been expecting to play older kids games, and were surprised by the younger crew- you had to use your imaginations and YOU DID!!!. I want to know the A and P story and the rabbit too, kathrn. do you have warm quarters? hotel or church floor? Melinda DeVoe
