Today was the first day we spent with the kids. It was amazing!! The kids were so happy to meet us. They welcomed us with open arms. We played games and sang songs. I think the kids enjoyed playing musical chairs to country music. I am so glad for the experience of meeting these kids; they have so much to give to the world. Some of the kids need some extra care because they did not experience care/love at home. I learned that one of the kids walked up to a police man and told him point-blank, that his mom … Continue reading →

Our 3rd team has arrived! Today we spent the day learning some Russian and cultural norms. Then we were off to see one of the largest Cathedrals in the city: St Isaac’s! So beautiful and grand is the architecture and art. We climbed the 200 steps to the top and saw the views of the city. The afternoon was spent strolling along the Petergoff Fountains, at the Summer Palace outside the city. We took a boat both ways, making it the fastest way to get to the gardens. We barely stayed awake to plan for tomorrow and debrief the day. … Continue reading →

Hey Everyone! Kylee (teens) and Ben (kids) here to fill you in on what’s been happening over here in Eastern Europe! Life has been full speed ahead the past few days. The teens have become much more comfortable with us as well as more vulnerable and open with us. We are learning a lot more Russian and they have learned some English. Still most of our communication is through animated facial expressions, gestures, and awkward laughter. We have covered a variety of topics over the past couple days including: kindness, patience, and making good choices. It has brought about a … Continue reading →

What a week full of love, laughter, acceptance, friendship, hugs and tears.  The First Free Methodist Team is on their way home. Right now they are flying over the Atlantic Ocean; sad to leave Russia, but excited to see their family and friends.  It was a blessing to have each team member be a part of SunErgos’ ministry and to pour God’s love upon the children at the orphanage.  The seeds planted will have a ripple effect in the future months and years. Please pray for safety as the team flies home and adjusts to the 11 hour time difference.  … Continue reading →
