This Tuesday the “Hold On” team arrived in Odessa. Half the team is will is doing free dental work in our village clinics and the other half is doing children’s ministry.
On Thursday and Friday they ministered in the village of Makarovo. Over the two days they saw about 90 patients. Probably about 80-90% of the patients were non believers. Many teeth were pulled, free medicines were given and the good news of forgiveness through Christ was shared with many of them including the children. Pray that the seeds planted would grow and produce much fruit!
This cute little boy came along with his mother, sister, grandmother and a few aunts and uncles to free clinic in the Makarovo church. None of his family are believers… yet.
There were about 22 of us with all the translators and drivers. The only place to fit that many people was in the pastor’s barn!
Pastor Volodya just finished wheat harvest so at the end of a very long table was a pile of about 170 tons of wheat! It reminded me of this!!!
The children gathered in the church lawn to watch a skit about the lost sheep.
This brave little girl had a least one tooth pulled and I didn’t even hear a whimper from her!
