Valery Eroshkin, SMS missionary and pastor of the Transfiguration Church in Oryol, Russia, recently organized a visit to an orphanage in Zmeyovka for Rob Zapotoski, SMS International Field Coordinator and two other men from America. Before arriving to this small town with a population of 8,000, the team purchased some apples, bananas, pears and some candy for the children ranging from two to five years old.
Lena, a member of the church, conducted a short program with a Bible lesson about the Lord's Prayer and some interesting games. An atmosphere of joy was evident as everyone interacted with the children. A large first-aid kit including children's medicine was presented to the director of the orphanage from Slavic Missionary Service. (The team traveled to another orphanage for older children in Zmeyovka, also to donate fruit and medicine for the orphans.)

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
