We’ve arrived safely!

It was wonderful to arrive safely with all our equipment and luggage into the villages last night - answer to prayer as our border crossings were uneventful! We arrived to a small crowd of welcomers in Alki who were patiently waiting for us to help unload the coach - what a huge number of boxes how did they all fit into that coach?!

As those of us staying in Gyula arrived by minibus over the extremely potholed unmade-up road for a few miles we were shaken to say the least - (we will ever moan about Surrey roads ever again!) we were touched by a wonderful singing Welcome led by Reike, Pastor Zoltans wife. How uplifting!

Now the Lords work begins...

Eyes down for Bingo!

This morning Weds 7th Aug the Pensioners came along to a Club and enjoyed rare social time playing Bingo organised by the Ukraine Community team - prizes were on offer - much fun was had by all! Legs Eleven number 11 and clickety click number 66 - anyone for Bingo in HTC?!? Greetings from Gyula and Akli Vicki Sent from my iPhone-- Vicki Schmidt

Toddlers Club - a first for the Ukraine Mission

Big hit yesterday as Toddlers Club was run for the first time in Gyula - kids and adults all had fun! With over 20 children between 0-4 and their Carers the Community team led a session for 45 minutes with the theme of Noah's Ark complete with puppet story and Mr Cow song (big success!) It would be great to continue this Club next year :-) -- Vicki Schmidt

Goodbye Gyula, Akli and Uj Akli - our Mission week has finished!

After 8 days in the Ukrainian villages sadly our week has come to an end! Our Medical, Dental and Hygienist teams have packed all their equipment away ready for another year; our School team are packed and ready to go and finally our Community team who have concluded over 50 house pastoral visits are also saying their goodbyes! We have been royally hosted by our village host families, experienced such generous hospitality and been touched by so many heart wrenching stories- what a truly incredible week! God has been faithful answering prayers and keeping close to us protecting us so we can step out in faith for Him! As I write we are have just crossed safely over the border into Romania so mobile data can be used as we are now in EU. We are heading to Budapest for a day of rest and relaxation before we arrive in good old England. Here's our final team photo in 34 degrees bright and sunny here for the next few days. See you in Claygate! -- Vicki Schmidt
