Winters on the North of Khabarovsk region are snowy and frosty
| A part of the toys we presented for children for Christmas
| In the middle of Amur river on the ice
| Before the beginning of the program our team gathered for a rehearsal of a spectacle
|
An ice road along Amur was dangerous. It was opened a day before our trip.
| At the conclusion of our program some of the children were willing to take a picture with us
| Children have been watching our Christmas drama attentively
| This is the look of a village in the midst of Taiga
|
A school in Ulchi region in Dudi village
| There have been children on the wheelchairs in some of the orphanage
| Mary, Joseph and me playing an Angel. We tried to share the meaning of Christmas with children
| After a Christmas program in a local club
|
Each child is an individual and has his own unique destiny. We prayed that each one who came would be saved.
| Every boy and girl could pick a personal present
| There was a story of an inn in an every stage
| In some of the places the car was jumping on the ice breaks
|
Thank you for the prayers. The Lord kept us when we passed the deep places underneath the ice
| It was getting darker when we've been returning. We thanked God for the ministry.
| A very beautiful spot of the wild nature on the roadside
| We had a fellowship with local Christians in a remote village Church and had a communion together
|
We've been returning on the sunsets, tired but happy of having fulfilled the God's will
| Our team went to Bogorodskiy ("God's birth") an administrative village of Ulchi region
| Children have been listening the Gospel attentively in every orphanage and every village
| At the conclusion of the Christmas program everyone was happy receiving the presents
|
We started our way to the new village in the dawn and returning during the sunset
| We have presented a full Bible to some people of the local peoples
| This woman was very happy having received a Bible as a present
| We hung out Christmas program invitations on the polls, boards and fences
|
There you can see a car moving the same place we have been before. But the next day the road was moved by snow
| Sometimes the road through Taiga is washed like this, making us no choice but to move through
| Some of the orphanages have been very beautifully decorated, but you could still feel this is an orphanage
| There were massive snowfalls so we were to get through it to have a dinner
|
Children have been watching the Christmas drama attentively
| Every child including teenagers have had their Christmas presents
| A road along the Amur river
| Every child coming to a Christmas program was special for God and so was for us
|
I played an angel singing "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." with the shepherds
| At the conclusion of the program we have prayed for the children and for the workers
