Mandy here updating for Diana...
Diana and a team arriving from England made their connection at the airport on Saturday and the 3 hour drive to Cherkassy. They overnighted at Alpha House (the ministry facility that Hope Now operates out of) and then continued on to camp on Sunday. She and a British girl are rooming together in a new small dorm that Hope Now has constructed since her visit last summer. Apparently, Diana was most grateful that she has...um...shall we say "sufficent plumbing facilities" and is not rooming where she did last year with traditional squatty-potties.:-)
She has been assigned to the art & craft station which groups of kids rotate to every day. Aside from paper-mache being a tremendously messy endeavor with 6 year-olds, she said they are having fun!
She asked for family and faithful prayer supporters to be lifting up the following requests:
-Safety on the lake. There are lots of water activities and equipment have have been donated to the ministry for the kids. While this is a highlight of camp experience for many kids, it is a continuous caution concern!
-Today (Wednesday) they will be presenting the gospel and offering an invitation for these children to come to Christ. Pray for clarity in cross-cultural communication and tender hearts for these precious little ones!
-Diana's health...she has contracted a virus and is feeling pretty crummy, although she doesn't complain at all. Pray she will heal quickly and not over-do it. Also, contune to pray for strength for her shoulder as she play's volleyball, totes around luggage and hugs and lifts these these little ones.
