Global Aid Network Mission Reports

As reported by Sergei V.:

In the morning we visited a Public school with 279 children, all of which were very eager to see us and listen to what we had to say! Many responded to the Lord Jesus in prayer. We went to the Children’s Chernobyl Invalids Organization "White Dove over Chernobyl". "White Dove" takes care of the children that are effected by the Chernobyl disaster. It was noted that the need for older children’s diapers was requested. The White Dove watches over 18 hospice cancer children and patients and they have a list of 30 more that need assistance. Doug B, working in partnership with Hearts of Love was able to help in there need for cloth diapers. Over 300 diapers were given to the directors of "White Dove over Chernobyl".

We (says Terry S.) were visiting an organization of Gomel invalids and disabled children - hundreds of children who happened to be physically or mentally challenged. We shared our love and God’s message of love for them. I was going from child to child, greeting them and showing friendship and love to as many as I could reach. At one point in time I decided to pull out my camera to get a picture with a girl and her mother. The girl was so happy to do something as fun as this. I thought to myself that she has probably had very few photographs taken, especially with an person from the United States. As soon as I was finished another boy, with Downs Syndrome came to me, motioning with his hands, that he wanted a picture with me too. I asked his mother if she could take the picture, which she excitedly said "Da" (which being translated means yes). The young boy, probably around 5 or 6 years old, stood close to me and I knelt down to his height. I pulled him close. He surprised me by tightly placing his arm around my shoulder and hugged me while the picture was taken. Afterwards he looked into my eyes and smiled a big smile; I could sense that he was so happy to be with me. In spite of the challenges ahead for him, I am trusting the Lord that the gospel bead bracelet and the story of salvation that we shared with him and his mother will help him to come to a saving knowledge of the Lord.
