Ukraine, Oct 2012 – Day 5

We spent our final day in Ukraine working with many children and families who traveled to see us. Several of them had visited us in previous years, and showed great progress.  During this trip, we were able to give away ALL of the wheelchairs, standers, gait trainers, and strollers that we brought with us, and a majority of the walkers and orthotics as well!  The last child of the day today needed the very last wheel chair we had left.  We are very thankful for the prayers over the packing and distribution of the equipment we brought, God’s hand was definitely on it.

We also made one last trip this afternoon to the orphanage to post goals for the children above their cribs, and to follow up on a few of their needs.  The goals were made up of the most important things for each child to improve their development and it is exciting to know that these goals will serve as a constant reminder of how important each of these children are.

This week we were also able to share bibles and bookmarks with Psalm 139: 13-14 with families as we worked, we are so thankful to share God’s love for each of them.

“For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:13-14

We have been so very blessed by all of the families and children we have been able to spend time with this week. They are all loved, children of God and we are so happy to be a part of their individual stories. We truly appreciate all of the encouraging words and prayers this week!  We leave to travel to Kiev in just a few minutes and will begin our travel home early Sunday morning.  Please keep our group in your prayers as we start the trip home!
