Catching up---Youth and Children's Service February 5th

Sorry to be delinquent with our reports, but we have been intensely busy with numerous chores and business.

Bogdana--Happy Birthday!

Saturday, February 5th we were occupied with the youth and children at Perechin. We had a special occasion to observe one of the youth girl's birthday. Her name is Bogdana, and she was so excited to receive a special treat Cheryl baked for her. She share it with everyone present and had enough to take home to share with her family. Bogdana is 14 and regularly comes to the youth services.
The children also had a special experience when Tim presented a story to them. Usually, Stephen or Vita tell the stories because it does not require translation. However, Tim told the story while Stephen translated. The children enjoyed the very evangelistic story about how God calls everyone, but it requires a "river" to cross. That river can only be crossed by God's grace and His power. Many people try through riches, self-effort, etc. to answer God's call, but He wants us to hear Him and "cross" in faith.
