Games for orphans in camp

Our wish is to help orphans in camp. Usually children have fun and exciting to being in camp. They come back with new energy, health, found there new friends, have many impressions, etc.

But not in this camp, where we visited orphans. Buildings inside and outside look horrible. In their rooms are only beds and clothes cabinet. You will not see nothing on walls of their room. It reminds little bit a jail.You can see only difference that windows are with curtains which do not have lattice and kids scamper everywhere. Also children undernourished there, no games, no fun, nothing, they bored there.





Because of this reason children run away from this camp to different places.Sometimes to different cities, where police catch them and give back to camp.But some time later children run away again. It happens again and again. That is big problem, because in this time they are street kids, where they can meet many troubles, sickness, they hungry, begin to steal food, clothes, etc.

Children do not want to be in this camp. They do not have their homes where they can stay for a summer. They often say, it is better to be in orphanage than stay in this camp.

We want to bring to them different games, make them busy and sweets and different fruits.We need to raise $280 to the end of this week.Because next week we want to visit them again.
But we are not able to do it without your help.Please, will you help orphans in camp? Will you help to bring to them a blessing and save if little bit? Children have nothing there and it will be big joy to them!

Please, use chip-in on our blog.Thank you so much! My the Lord bless you!


Blessing time with orphans

I would like to share with you one more blessing we have. last week we could to visit special orphanage for boys and had Bible lesson with them again.
When we just came into the room, children were so much happy and impressed to see us. That they took our hands and  fastened sooooo much! They jumped and were so much excited!We were glad to see their smiles and happy faces!What a blessing to see happy kids!

Our goal is come to small boys and we invite older boys too.Of course they come in  on too, because they do not have enough attention here and just human love. Many of them are like small boys, think, play etc. You can see difference between them only their hight and age.
And we happy to see everyone who wants to hear and know about Jesus. Is not it blessing? This time we had a wonderful time with boys!


In the beginning of our meeting, after prayer, we sang several songs with movements with them. They do it real good!
                                                     I like this one song


After that we congratulated kids, who had Birthday.This time, we had only one Andrew.Andrew has Down Syndrome.His parents left him in hospital when he just was born. Poor boy. :(


After that we had object lesson about fruits and vegetables.Some fruits have seeds inside, some no.Some have good seeds, some have not good etc.
Question was what seeds of our heart we have inside, good or bad, sleepy? God wants we have good seeds of our heart, what is pleasure for Him and brings glory and praise to Him.

After that we gave to them several kind of fruits: plums, bananas, apples and nectarines.They were excited and glad to get it!

And it was our mistake we gave them fruits before Bible story.Children were so much impressed that we could not catch their attention during some time. :) We think probably we should gave them fruits after Bible story. But that is not big problem.We were glad, children excited their fruits!

We told them Bible story about Cain and Abel. Abel had not good seeds of his heart before the Lord that is why he murdered his brother.

Boys liked pictures so much that we showed to each them. They said wow when they saw pictures. Really, it was look like they saw colored pictures first time in their lives!


Also we have played game with them. Boys should to choose nut they wanted and will open it.The nuts were with surprises! Inside were question about Bible story they just heard.Questions we placed inside before and glued nuts. Boys excited so much this game!


Next game we learned with them Bible verse. Boys placed different fruits on blackboard, where were written words of verse.They so much wanted to play, that we were lost whom chose! We did choice kids, who did not play yet.Some boys took offence at us. :)
                        Is not he cute! Vova is sweet and smart boy.

        In the end of lesson kids did craft, basket with fruits inside.
           Look at these precious faces! Are not they cute?
Some boys need to help as all time, who can not color or scissor out.
Can you believe this boy is more than 24 years old? Look at him, how he is exciting his craft!
As i told you above, older boys here are like small children, happy to do or recieve any small thing.

Look at him! How he is happy that he did this craft.It is incredible!

At this time we noticed, boys change little by little. Often boys beat one other, call bad names, hit one other etc. We teach them, it is wrong, you have to be kind to each one, do not say bad words etc.We know it will take time and we pray for them, God will change their hearts and behaviour.

At this time we were surprised, when some boys taught other about good behaviour, also some boys told sweet words to other, behaviour some boys were better than all time.We were glad to see and hear it! Really we did not expect that! It is blessing for us to see how boys are changing just during several meetings!WOW!

Please, pray for them. Also we pray that it will be good testimony to caretakers and other workers, how God`s word ability to change hearts and lives of these abandoned and poor kids. Thank you! Blessings to you!

We did it!

Yes! We did it! We are so rejoicing of this God`s blessing!
We bought paint for orphanage. We bought different colors of paint they needed and paint for a floor. But paint for floor was not in warehouse(where we bought paint). I think probably now is summer and everyone make repair. :) Any way we have paid for that and employers of orphanage will go to warehouse next week  and will take all paint to orphanage, we paid for. Administration of orphanage have a bill of paid paint. It is in twice more paint for floor, big jars than on picture.It is a lot!

Administration of orphanage was rejoicing of that much. Do you know what they told us? They said: "You came and bought just in time! Slava Bogoo!"--Praise the Lord! They need to be ready in two weeks for special inspection.We were glad to hear it how God is doing everything in time and unbelievers praised the Lord for that!

Also God has blessed and yesterday was wonderful weather!Praise God!Thank you for prayers!  We could to did dye different installations of playground.
Until we worked there kids were curious much. They asked what  we are doing and many different questions. They showed us a song with movements we learned with them before. It was so sweet! Also we bought and gave to them different sweets. Ah, they are so cute and sweet!

There are many installations, we worked all day long.We tired very much and came back to our homes only after 10.30 pm.It was hard working day but blessed. We are so happy and blessed could to help orphanage! Did we dye all? No.There are still a lot of work!

We hope, if God`s will we will come back to orphanage to dye some more installations or building inside. We are not sure yet, because we have schedule for a month for other orphanages.We would like come back to help again and administration requested us.So, we will pray and see where God wants us.Where we most needed.

Dear friends, readers, followers, supporters, we all team BOM would like to thank you so much for your faithful prayers and donations to help this orphanage! It is real blessing! We could not be to help orphanage without your help!Thank you very much to being blessing to this orphanage!

Administration of orphanage not expected it, they were surprised and glad of that we were able to help! The playground looks much better than before! Other constructions inside of the orphanage where workers did dye too, we did not do pictures.We are so sorry. We worked all time until it became dark and every worker has gone to home.Everything was closed.

Dear Friends, thank you so much to open your hearts to help in this need and being of hands of Jesus Christ to orphans.Thank you so much for your kindness, love and care about orphans!You all are real blessing to orphans in Ukraine!

Orphans who without parents, some of them never have seen them since their birth.They even can not imagine how it to be in family, feel loving and be darling.

Unusual

This week we could to visit special orphanage for girls and had Bible lesson.This time was unusual than we have all time with them. Because we had 2 groups of children older and smaller.  We wanted all children could to be with us in this time. We had full class about 45-50 kids! We really excited by it! And were so glad to see with us smallest kids!They are so sweet!
But it was very heavy for us because at class were noise little. Older girls did not perceive smaller, they did not want to give them their place to sit.We made sure certainly that we need divide them to 2 groups, because of the age too. Next time we are going to do that, will divide to two groups and have Bible time in one time.We just afraid will start.We pray about it and think for a long time that all girls of orphanage can be on Bible lesson. I think we can do that.Most of all problem is for us, we have not enough people who can help us during this time.

When we have special program for all orphanage it is not problem.But when they together in class, it is heavy for us and for them too.

Also unusual was that Annya could to be with us in this time too!What a blessing we had! She was so glad to be with us!She could not be before, because of her old wheelchair which she could not use. Next times Annya can be with us every time! Praise the Lord!
I would like to mention here about Annya again that she is much happy by her new wheelchair!It is comfortable for her, easy to use, not heavy etc. She was thanked again for that!

But even with little inconveniences we had very good time with kids!In the beginning we gave presents to children and congratulated with their Birthday.They were so glad to receive it!
During lesson we told to them Bible story about life Jacob in his uncle laban.Genesis 28-33.We showed to kids a little puppet show, have played different games, learned a new song and Bible verse.Also in the end had craft.

And this time i decided to post unusually too, not pictures as all time but video what we did during our time with kids. :) Enjoy!


Also unusually was for us an one employer helped us during lesson.We were so glad by that! She is very sweet lady and excited to help us during this time.She asked us come back and come there more often!We were blessed by that!

All kids were so impressed and glad of the time we had! We rejoicing these blessings!
