Samaritan's Purse Youth Trip

Young children in the ger district coming to get water, from a water station.

The ger district just keeps getting bigger and bigger.  This is a new area built on top of an old Soviet dump site.

We did Operation Christmas Child shoebox distributions with the Samaritan's Purse Youth team here this last week.

After the distribution, kids outside showed off what they got.

Kids Games are an activity where kids play games and then the Gospel is presented and they were given shoeboxes.

This child lives near the dump and his parents probably sort stuff in the dump to see to make a small amount of money.

She wanted to join in Kids Games.

A little friend I made when hanging out outside the dump area.

Our group with a woman (center in red) who feeds dump kids and runs a church for them.  Her husband walked out on her and she has 50-60 dump kids to care for. She fully trusts in the Lord's provisions for her. 

21 students and 4 SP staff came to Mongolia to distribute Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes.

This giant Chinngis Khan momument is about 70 km outside UB.

Isn't this child too precious!  He was pretty good on a horse. 

A face I will never forget.

I saw so many kids get gifts they were so excited about through their OCC box.

The Mongolian countryside is amazing in the summer.

An outdoor distribution.  We went 14 km on an unpaved road to get here which took almost 45 minutes just to go those 14 km after traveling almost an hour on paved road outside UB. 

He got a box that had a nice warm hat and gloves.  Many kids got gloves in their boxes and I thought that was so cool since the weather can be quite cold here.

Waiting for their box!

He seemed prettly pleased with what he got!

I am thankful for the 8+ million boxes donated in 2011 for distribution around the world.  Mongolia got around 50,000 boxes.  Please make a box this year.  Collection Week will be in mid Novermber and your gift will change a life forever.

Bolortungalag also had successful surgery in Toronto this month and is recovering well.

Precious kiddos who came to camp

I loved this girl.  She was so sweet and fun to be around.  I called her Toothless!

This little one came to camp with 2 siblings.  Her family are very poor and CHP was able to buy them a ger to live in since all they had was a small shak.  Her parents are on fire for Jesus.

Heart Camp 1 Group Picture

Two sweet girls.  Last year the one on the right was so homesick, but this year she had a blast.  Her parents both came to know the Lord after her surgery through CHP and started a community center in their ger that CHP gave them. 

Our ger resort was perfect for camp.

Bolormaa (second from left) came again with her mom.  She had surgery with CHP, but still has one other heart defect and has bleeding issues which has hospitalized her frequently.  She and her mom loved camp!

Tuul and Chinba.  Both their sons had surgery with CHP in San Antonio and were featured in the documentary Three Hearts.  Uugna, Tuul's son went to be with Jesus in February.  Chinba's son Odko is pictured above.  Chinba leads a church in the very remote countryside.
