MDI is Ministering to Orphans with Radooga

Russell Anderson, MDI's Marketing & Development Director (pictured left), is gearing up to lead a team of 12 Americans to serve Radooga's orphan camp in Kharkiv, Ukraine. They set out Saturday, June 26 for two weeks and need your prayers!

This will be the second year in a row for MDI to bring a team to work with these particular kids. Of the Americans who went with MDI last year 3/4 of them will be returning to work with these children again this year. That really speaks to the impact a trip to serve with MDI and its partners can have, not only abroad but here at home. This particular mission is all about relationship: sharing God's love with these kids through friendship and action as much as through words.

Please pray of course for traveling mercies and for the hearts of the team as they adjust to new surroundings and heartbreaking stories about these children. But please also pray for these kids, that they would know that they are loved by the greatest love of all, and that that would give them hope!
