Andrey Vostrikov




Andrey Vostrikov and his coach Pavel Koroliov (2008)

The mother of Andrey Vostrikov, the gymnast who is a disabled person of group 1 and a six-time champion of the International Special Olympics in Beijing is forced to raise money, primarily via the Internet, to make it possible for her son to carry on his participation in sporting competitions. It comes out that the Olympiad sportsmen with Down syndrome have no call on state support.

Andrey Vostrikov is 24. He is a six-time champion of the International Special Olympics in Beijing, a five-time champion of the European Games in Rome, a repeated champion of Russia, the winner of 65 medals in artistic gymnastics and a disabled person of group 1 with Down syndrome.

Sunday...

Find Us Faithful...stuck in my mind while here serving across the world with other Christians

We're pilgrims on the journey
Of the narrow road
And those who've gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who've gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives

CHORUS:
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way

May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we've left behind
May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find
