The team has an annual visit to the kids who are residing by the seawall of the Island. It is a blessing to meet a new set of kids this time. We offered them little gifts, snacks, lessons, and fun games.
The Knights of the Orthdox Order of St. John Russian Grand Priory carries on a nearly 1000 year tradition of service to Humanity. Its traditions extend back to 1048 with the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem which started the first hospitals during the crusades to take care of the sick and injured regardless of race, creed or ability to pay.

Helping the Typhoon Victims in Catanduanes, Philippines
The team traveled over the sea for four hours to reach the island of Catanduanes in the Pacific Ocean. This province is struck by typhoons over ten times a year. And last year, when super typhoon Rolly struck the country, they had the worst aftermath. KOOSJ sent help for the first time after the typhoon since it was very hard to go there due to the pandemic protocols and network signal issues. Nonetheless, it was a productive mission trip. The Lord is good!

Zion Children’s Home Construction
At Zion Children's Home in Kenya, which we have helped in the past, there was a very troubling development which resulted in them being evicted from their facility. The children are now being housed in the church and they are in the process of building a new facility. We have been helping them with basic building materials such as cement and masonry stones.

Schooling for a Kenya Children's Home
The children of Bethsaida Childrens Home were suddenly without a school. The school they were attending suddenly shut down in mid-year due to the economic consequences of the pandemic. They could only salvage the spring semester by quickly enrolling in a nearby government school. But there was tuition to pay and uniforms to purchase. Our Priory provided both tuition and uniforms for the 19 children, and their school year was saved!
