Photos #1

Here are some cool photos of your favorite Summer Missions Program team:














Here you see the team accompanied by Gary and Galia, eating breakfast in the home where we first stayed. We moved today to the school where we are working on our first project, which is building an entrance pathway.
























Here we are, working with some of the Missionary Kids who go to school here.














We have made several friends during this project. The man in the red hat is Alexander, a friendly and hard working Russian. He laid the larger grey bricks alongside the soon to be brick path. The guy with the white shirt and the black hat is Sam. He's a missionary who's currently without a large group backing him. He's been in Russia for 3 years and feels called to reach out to Russian kids. He teaches ESL (English as a Second Language).














Above you see some of the team chowing down during lunch in the school's cafeteria. The guy on the right is John. He's an American who teaches Science and PE to 8th graders.














On the right is Nicholi (spelling?) who is a carpenter at the school. He's providing logistics and equipment maintainace for our shin-dig. Then there's Gary and Galia. Then there's the team. On the far right is one of the door keepers at the school. Theft is a big problem; Gary's camera, which took these photos, was already ripped-off on Saturday : /
