Today, I received the following update on my friends/supporters who are in Kazakhstan:
Dear Friends,
The volunteers arrived safely to Kazakhstan Sunday night and are now visiting various sites in Almaty and area. Just wanted to let you know that you can read stories and see photos of the Kazakhstan winter trip and all of the GAiN winter trips at:

Here is a quote from one of the Kazakhstan stories you can read:
“Thirty eight children live in this facility now. They might stay one month or one year. They are here because of a decision of the court. Parents can visit. Either the children or the parents have problems,” said Tolgat Kaleivich, the director of this facility. But even though the school was supposed to be for difficult teens, the group found the children to be loving and attentive.
One class of eight kids listened as the Gospel was shared. Only one boy was not receptive. But as the Bibles were given out he said, “This Bible is in Kazak. I will read it.”

Please continue to pray for the health and safety all of the volunteers as they continue to share the message of Christ love.
