THANKSGIVING ORPHANAGE MINISTRY

November 21st marks the beginning of our annual Thanksgiving outreach at the Miskolc orphanage. This year will be extra special as we celebrate our 10th year of sharing this most special observance with our kids in Miskolc.

Plans are for two teams of volunteers to come from the American military community in Heidelberg Germany and a volunteer from America will be joined by translators from the Debrecen church. There will be approximately 50 volunteers this year matching the kids almost one-to-one.

We will begin the 4 day long outreach with a Bible study Wednesday afternoon followed each day with activities and evening worship and teaching. The outreach culminates on Saturday with day-long activities, cooking of the traditional American Thanksgiving dinner, followed by a program of worship, sharing the Gospel message, explaining the origin of the Thanksgiving celebration, and gift giving to all the kids.

Our personal involvement will include providing transportation to Miskolc and return, plus Carol, Russ, Luca, and Dana from Minnesota will be a part of the "advance team" preparing for the outreach.

Please, pray for us during the November 21st through 24th time frame. God calls us to be faithful in sharing His Word and in being obedient to His call. YOU too can be a part of this ministry through your faithful prayers.

Blessings,
Rob and Carol
