As reported by William R:
Myrgorod Boarding School for the Deaf was located down a long narrow snowy road off the highway. It had snowed several inches over night. The children were waiting for us in the assembly room and waved wiggly fingers at us as we entered -their sign of greeting. The introductions, gospel presentation and sharing took much longer as the words we spoke had to be translated into Ukrainian and then into sign language. It was a precious time of great sharing. They were extremely appreciative.
the director Yeugen Yeugenovych was pleased to show us the whole facility which was neat as could be, though the conditions were very poor.
The afternoon site, Mykilske Boarding School, was again down an unplowed road and set in a beautiful forrest. Here the children were waiting in their classrooms acording to age. They were model students and extremely attentive even though they were in this school because of various handicaps. The youngest ones sat around in wrapped attention especially to the Bible story reading which concluded our session.
These traveling safety days and lovely weather and interested children who prayed the sinners prayer with us are in a great part due to your prayers. Please continue to pray for us.
