More Testimonies from team members
Nathan, Age 20
"Seriously if you have ever felt that your life is just average this is for you! My heart has been changed, by watching God's love being put into action. Being used by God to show his love to others is an experience I don't want to forget."
Megan
"We really had no idea what to expect. The absolute highlight was the children who were so friendly and responsive.."
Maree
"Many people don't understand why I would come once, let alone twice. Well, it's beyond my understanding also. All I know is that I'm already saying 'next time' ... Was it worth the time and effort fundraising and preparing programmes or experiencing financial stress? These answers I can give simply and with hesitation - absolutely."
Klariske
"To see the children smile and reach for a hug, will stay in my heart forever"
Jonathan, age 19
"Russia is definitely for anyone, especially if you love kids."
Robin
"The smiling faces of the children at your every turn make it very worthwhile"
Amelia, age 15
"The ability to share God's love with people who don't understand your language makes you realise how great and powerful God is. To come to Russia and just love the kids was so much fun. I had a great time."
Sam
"We did the drug and alcohol health program with a few groups. During this I shared my testimony of when I had been a drug user and was getting drunk a lot. One particular group asked lots of questions afterwards. We finished with this group and after we left a good friend I had made, came running out to see me. He stopped me and asked: 'Why did you tell that story? It's not something to be proud of.' I was then able to explain that God was the hero of the story and he understood and went away happy."
Lucinda, age 11
"My highlight was playing with all the kids and meeting lots of new friends."
Danny
"...rewarding and inspirational, spiritually it is beyond words to explain."
Elizabeth
"For me I can't describe a highlight. I love the kids and I love Russia!"
Jonathan
"God still works long after we are gone."
