SAD NEWS FROM VLADIMIR REGION, RUSSIA "Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me." Psalm 27:10 Dear Friends, This morning we received tragic news from Russia. One of our graduates from the Vladimir region was killed in a car accident on October 26th. <\/p>\n
As we mourn Vasya’s death, we are reminded of the power and example of Mother Teresa ‘s life. She understood the value of a human being, created in the image of God. She knew they had intrinsic worth and value simply because they were His – even if the entire world considered them rubbish. We believe this is true about every orphan’s life. Many times, we are the only ones who love them, remember them, and weep for them. <\/p>\n
Please join us in remembering Vasya, and thanking the God who made him a unique and special creation. We are among the few who will celebrate Vasya’s life. Please take a moment to read about this young man, and offer a simple prayer on behalf of orphans everywhere. Vasya Selyunin was a graduate of Kameshkovo orphanage. He left the orphanage in 2004 to study at tech school #21 in Sadovy. In September 2005, he joined tech school #23 in Suzdal. At the orphanage, he enjoyed weekly Bible studies with a discipler, and at both tech schools he was a frequest participant of the Mentorship classes held by Korvan Funk and Yulia Frolova. He enjoyed the summer camps run by American volunteers, was a good student, and a trustworthy friend. The staff of Tech #23 spoke favorably of him. <\/p>\n
