Wheels at last

It’s a happy day in the Ivanyenko household, because finally, finally their new car is here from Germany!

I’m sure you remember the flood this summer, which wiped out one of their vehicles and numerous appliances. Pastor Ilya’s work in the region was totally crippled by his lack of a reliable car.

Here's the old car, which was eventually totally submerged

The ruined interior

Thanks to all of you who donated, we were able to help get the Ivanyenko family a new car. They got a used Nissan SUV from Germany (you can see the German plate still on it!) that is ready to handle the rough Russian roads, and will hopefully last the family a long time.

Here she be, ready for the road!

Notice the German plate

It already proved itself on a long trip back from the town where they bought it

Thank you again to all of you who contributed!

As for myself, I’m still getting used to the fact that my brother is gone and camp is over. What an amazing time it was having him here! Myself and my friends were so sad to see him go, and they’re already asking when he’ll be coming back. It was such a joy to have him with us!

Do you have an interest in volunteering at one of our English camps? All native English speakers of all ages are welcome! The next camp begins June 13^th, and it’s not too soon to start preparing. If you are interested, please email me at j_blevins_mt@yahoo.com and I’ll get you the details. We’d love to have you there!
