| We leave in just one week on June 23, 2010 and we are very excited about our itinerary and visits to orphanages and summer camps. This time, I am teaming up with some awesome people who love the Lord and love children, and are gifted in bringing the message of the Father’s Love to children. Our members are all from The Vineyard Community Church in Kingston, Massachusetts, which the Hearts for Ukraine ministry was birthed out of. All of us currently work in the Disciple Island children’s program. Now it’s my pleasure to introduce to you, Anita and Brenda! |
Brenda Smith (Zapppy) Hi! My name is Brenda Smith , sometimes known as Zappy or Lemon-Aid the clown. In 1996 I went to Ukraine to a children’s camp, I brought Lemon-Aid with me. It was a challenging trip and I told God unless you ask me to return, I won’t! Well he has asked me to return from the invitation of the Ukrainian Clowns! This time Zappy will accompany me! I am excited to be a part of this trip with Hearts for Ukraine to see God’s word bring life … abundant life to the Nation and the Orphans and anyone else the Lord puts in our path! Clowns bring joy that last for the moment … Jesus brings supernatural JOY that last for Eternity! I am filled with overflowing joy to be able to be an Ambassador of his supernatural JOY! Thank you to all who have had a hand in sending and praying for us! God Bless you with his Supernatural JOY!
Anita Sisler Hello 🙂 My name is Anita and I’m thrilled to be joining Al on this summer trip to Ukraine. Ever since Al mentioned his 1st trip, my heart leapt inside of me, and I knew at that moment that at some point I would go with Al to visit the orphanages. I’ve worked with children and teens for the past 26 years in various capacities, but mostly in the area of drama. I feel strongly that this will be part of what I am to bring to this trip. I long to go to at least 1 baby orphanage and just hold and pray over those precious ones. I’m excited to see and experience all that God has in store for this team and to come away with a mission that will continue long after we leave. Thank you to all of you who support this amazing work and continue to pray……those prayers will pave the way!
