Update from the Camp Ministry – our last day with the children
Today was our last day in Rivne….so much to tell but it is very late here so I will make it brief…
We spent the morning with the children at the camp. It was so hard saying goodbye to these precious children who kept asking if we’d be back tomorrow. We did one last round of ukrainian worship songs and bible stories, leaving them with gifts and many, many hugs. Already there is talk among the team of coming back to Ukraine next summer.
Back in town, we had lunch with our translators and gave them gifts from our team to express our gratefulness for all their hard work. This has got to be the best group of translators we have ever had and hope many will come work with us again next summer!!
Tonight, we are back in Kiev safe and sound. Tomorrow we will tour Kiev, then pack up and head to the airport around 3am to catch our 645am flight home. We are looking foward to seeing our families again and sharing our stories and pictures. Pray for safe travels!
Love, Amy

I feel so selfish wanting my son & friends home knowing what a blessing you have all been to His precious children….but I miss you all nonetheless. God bless you all for your selfless dedication & I pray for safe and pleasant travel!! See ya all tomorrow

Hey Beverly,
Damian and the other New Hope youth have had such an amazing week, growing closer to the Lord and also to their teammates from church. I am so glad our youth have had this experience – it has been eye-opening for them to see how blessed we Americans are. Lots of stories to tell and pics to show when we get back
