Sarita Ladios (now Sarita L. Robinson) is a graduate of the Asian Center for Missions‘ cross-cultural missions program. She has been assisting a Ukrainian pastor, Sergey Sayenko, in Donetsk, Ukraine for almost five years now, conducting leadership training programs, facilitating G-12 discipleship meetings, and teaching general English to Ukrainians.
Sarita loves kids and has been involved in doing Sidewalk Sunday School and Kids Church in her home church in the Philippines, the Lighthouse Christian Community in Alabang, Muntinlupa. She also loves mountain climbing and coffee! She claims to know the art of packing everything in her black backpack which she takes with her every time she travels on her mission exploits for God. And yes, she cannot live without coffee.
She’s a certified shutterbug, and doesn’t go out of her apartment without her reliable Sony digital camera. Sarita features devotional snippets here. Meanwhile, a feature article on her missions work can be read here.

TESTIMONIALS
“Sarita Ladios found Christ in our Manila church. She grew so well as a disciple that I hired her to serve as my secretary. On her days off she would go into the squatter’s areas around railroad tracks in Manila and start what we later came to call Sidewalk Sunday Schools. Today the church reaches over 4,500 children weekly in 50 centers. Sarita’s burden for children took her to Ukraine three years ago. Ukraine has over ten thousand children living in the city sewers in the winter (the city steam pipes run underground, making the sewer pipes the warmest place in the city during the brutal winters). Sarita has been working with God’s Gift, a Lighthouse daughter church near the border of Russia. God’s gift is a young church, just five years old. Her efforts have helped to establish a children’s outreach to a community called Mine 16. The neighborhood has this name because it is built upon a coal mine. Ukraine has 58 million people who make an average income of $2500 a year mostly from mining and heavy manufacturing. Sherry and I just returned from a week-long time of fellowship and training with these warm, resourceful people. We cherish the many friendships we have there and look forward to continuing our annual visits to strengthen the churches.” (Quote taken from http://quinley.com)

Hi Sarita,
What part of Ukraine is Donetsk? I did YWAM outreach in the Harkov region, as well as Zhitomer region. This was 1995. I have not been back since, but I would like to come visit again, perhaps as soon as next Summer. Brother Cliff from Waikaloa HI has been to Ukraine several times, and loves it there, and I may go with him. He was in a city called Dnipertrosk, on the Dniper river.
I can imagine your I=net access is limited there. It’s not like here, where pretty much everyone has WiFi. If someone did bring their own laptop, though, would WiFi be available outside of Kiev?

Ok, looking forward to hearing from you again. I would love to hear about the kids camp, how it went. I really fell in love with the Ukranian kids on my mission trip. Perhaps I can send you some of my pictures.
